The AI agent war is HEATING up.

Manus just brought their AI agent to your desktop.

Local file access. Command line control. App automation.

How it compares:
→ Perplexity Computer = browser watcher
→ Claude Cowork = real-time pair working in a shared canvas
→ OpenClaw = open source, you own everything
→ Manus = cloud agent, now local

What this means for you:

AI is graduating from "chatbot" to "employee."

The business owners learning to delegate to agents will 10x their output.

The rest will wonder what happened.
