Manus
Manus does. It plans each task itself from your request, and each scheduled run plans it again.
Malleable vs. Manus
Manus is an AI agent for one-off work like reports, slides and websites. Its own tagline is “Less structure, more intelligence.” Malleable is for work that repeats, where you want both: your team's steps, and AI judgment inside them.
In common: Both act across connected apps and can run work on a schedule.
The main difference
Who decides the steps?
Malleable
Your team does. You describe the work in plain English, and Malleable lays out the steps every run follows. The AI uses judgment only at the steps where you allow it.
