🥷 This AI Turns Your Computer Into An Always-On Worker

Too many AI tools promise automation but still leave you doing the busywork.

Sorting downloads, running scripts, building small tools, and jumping between apps all add up.

Manus recently launched My Computer, a new desktop feature that turns your own machine into an AI worker that can read files, run commands, and complete tasks directly on your computer.

In plain language, you install Manus Desktop, grant access to selected folders, and it starts working. No API keys. No complex setup. It works on Mac and Windows, and you are set up in under a minute.

Key features include:

  • Reads and organizes local files, like cleaning up messy downloads

  • Runs commands and builds apps or workflows on your machine

  • Remote control from other devices, with Android available and iOS coming soon

  • Always on AI worker while your computer is running

  • Starts around twenty dollars per month

Real world use cases are practical. Clean up years of downloads, generate small utilities, automate repetitive tasks, or build quick internal tools without writing code.

Best for: freelancers, marketers, developers, students, and anyone drowning in digital clutter.

You can learn more and get 1000 free credits for new users here.

I also posted a short Instagram reel showing it in action if you want a quick demo.
