    Openmanus Setup Guide: Start Using It Today


    Introduction

    Openmanus is so popular nowadays especially for AI Agent Development Geeks!

    What is Openmanus?

    Openmanus is an open source version of Manus AI. Open Source developers have started a copying competition following Manus AI's appearance. OpenManus originated during this innovation surge through the development efforts of three core MetaGPT contributors who created the alternative in only three hours without restriction.

    Anyone can use the fully open source OpenManus to deploy an individual AI assistant easily through basic deployment steps because it lacks the Manus requirement for invitation codes.

     

    Openmanus: Smart, Fun Collaboration"

    This project wasn’t a solo effort, it was a collaborative achievement by developers from MetaGPT. The efficiency of these engineers is astonishing, as they built OpenManus faster than drinking a cup of coffee!

     

    At its core, OpenManus features a modular Agent system, acting as a network of specialized teams that work together seamlessly:

    • Project Manager (Manus main agent): Understands user needs and manages execution.

    • Strategic Expert (PlanningAgent): Breaks tasks into actionable steps.

    • Technical Experts (ToolCallAgent): Handles specific AI-powered operations.

    This modular design allows customizable AI assistants, making OpenManus a flexible alternative to closed AI systems.

    Openmanus: Task Handling with Precision

    OpenManus is not just another AI tool - it meticulously breaks down complex tasks into structured processes. For example, if assigned to analyze a website for SEO optimization, OpenManus:

    1. Collects website metadata

    2. Analyzes SEO ranking factors

    3. Identifies technical errors

    4. Compiles an actionable SEO optimization report
