Amazon Web Services (AWS) said the general-purpose AI agent "Manus" has chosen AWS as its strategic cloud service provider. AWS said Manus is expanding development of autonomous AI agents and global services based on AWS's global infrastructure, Generative AI services, and security and compliance frameworks.

Manus said it launched a "fully autonomous AI agent" on AWS in Mar. 2025 and, four months after introducing a subscription model, reached an annualized revenue run rate of $90 million. Manus said it is rapidly rolling out features such as natural language understanding, task decomposition, planning, and code generation and debugging by leveraging model governance and an enterprise-grade security architecture in Amazon Bedrock.

For operations, it said it created an isolated sandbox environment with the open-source lightweight virtualization technology "Firecracker" and combined it with E2B scheduling to enable millisecond-level instance execution and isolation between tasks. It said it built a managed serverless architecture with Aurora Serverless, EKS, AWS Glue, and MSK to handle traffic fluctuations and lower expense. Manus added that it reduced demand for development and operations personnel by about 60%, improved operational efficiency by 70%, and cut computing expense by 68%. AWS said Manus manages tens of thousands of sandboxes with a team of three operations staff, achieving 125 milliseconds per instance execution and 5 MiB of memory usage. Manus said it is providing services while maintaining data security, stability, and compliance.

Carol Potts, AWS head of North America ISV sales, said, "Amazon Bedrock's flexible model accessibility and secure, scalable infrastructure contributed to Manus's global expansion." The two companies plan to expand their cooperation.
