Manus Cue: The Personal Agent App With Its Own Email, Phone & Wallet
Cue (launched Sep 28, 2026) is Manus's standalone personal-agent app — and the most aggressively "agent-native" design of the 2026 wave: every agent you create gets its own email address, phone number, wallet and virtual computer, so it can message, pay and work autonomously. Currently invite-only. Here is how it works, how to get in, and how it compares.
What Cue can do
- Every agent has a full identityEach Cue agent ships with its own email address, phone number, wallet and virtual computer — it can send messages, make payments within budgets you set, and run long jobs on its own machine.
- Multi-agent coordinationCue can dispatch several agents on one goal — the same "team of agents" pattern as Grok Bot, but consumer-priced and phone-first.
- Built on Manus infrastructureCue runs on the same infrastructure as Manus (the agentic platform that went viral in 2025 for completing entire projects). Manus separated from Meta in Aug 2026 and resumed independent operation.
- Launched with Manus 2.0Cue shipped alongside Manus 2.0 (Sep 28, 2026), covered by Bloomberg as "Manus Unveils New Personal Agent App in Challenge to Meta's Muse".
How to get access (invite waves)
Cue is invite-only. There is no public signup form, and codes are not sold through any official channel. Three realistic paths in:
- 1Join the official Manus channelsInvite codes are distributed through Manus's official channels first: the Manus app (existing users get priority), the Manus Discord community, and the official X account. Announcements about Cue access waves appear there before anywhere else.
- 2Be an active Manus userCue access has been prioritized for existing Manus subscribers and active users. If you have a Manus subscription, check your in-app notifications — Cue invitations appear there for eligible accounts.
- 3Watch regional rollout newsCue launched Sep 28, 2026 with regional access waves expected. Bloomberg, The Information and TechCrunch cover each access expansion — those reports reliably precede wider availability.
Warning: no official code resale exists. Listings on secondary markets are scalpers or scams.
The Tencent connection
Manus's team has Chinese origins, and Chinese media widely cover Cue as the "Tencent-affiliated first personal agent" — Cue launched the same week Tencent's Yuanbao personal-agent plans leaked, alongside Handy Bot and LightVela. Regardless of corporate ties, Cue's architecture (full agent identity + payments + virtual computer) is the most complete consumer implementation of the personal-agent pattern announced so far.
FAQ
What is the Cue app?
Cue is a standalone personal-agent app from Manus, launched Sep 28, 2026. Each agent you create gets its own email address, phone number, wallet and virtual computer — so it can message, pay and execute long tasks autonomously. It is built on the same infrastructure as Manus and launched alongside Manus 2.0.
How do I get a Cue invite code?
Cue is invite-only at launch. Invite codes flow through three channels: (1) existing Manus subscribers get priority invitations in-app, (2) the official Manus Discord community distributes codes in waves, (3) regional expansion announcements follow press coverage. Beware of scalpers selling codes on secondary markets — there is no official resale channel.
Is Cue made by a Chinese company?
Manus was built by a team with Chinese origins (it went viral globally in March 2025) and was acquired by Meta in Dec 2025; the deal unwound and Manus resumed independent operations in Aug 2026. Chinese media call Cue "the Tencent-affiliated first personal agent" because of the team's ties, and it launched the same week Tencent's own personal-agent products (Yuanbao plans, Handy Bot, LightVela) entered the race.
Cue vs Meta Muse — which is better?
Different architectures for different needs. Cue gives each agent a full identity (email/phone/wallet/VM) and is phone-first; Muse runs tasks inside isolated Linux VMs with eBPF-monitored egress and virtual payment cards, and is backed by Meta's distribution. Cue is invite-only; Muse is broadly available in US/CA. A full architecture breakdown: see our personal agents battle guide.
