Manus is genuinely good at this.

Libra uses the access your organisation gives it. A connection doesn't mean everyone suddenly sees everything.

  • Autonomous execution

    Manus is built to carry out broad, multi-step tasks with minimal supervision.

  • General-purpose research

    It performs well across a wide range of open-ended research and task-execution scenarios.

  • Individual reach

    For someone who needs a capable agent without company-specific setup, Manus is a strong option.

Why choose Libra

  • You want AI to finish the job.

    WorkBase is designed around what happens after the answer: creating the email, updating the CRM, preparing the report, routing the ticket, or moving a workflow forward.

  • You want one context layer for people & AI.

    The same company knowledge can power Search, Assistants, WorkBase and Agents.

  • Ask about what's on your screen. Then tell it what to do.

    Libra Desktop sits on top of the app you are already in, so the same context layer can read what you are looking at and act on it across your stack.

Manus isn't the only alternative worth a look.

Each one is the stronger fit for a different shape of work. Here is where to read the rest of the comparison.
