Bottom line

Cue is Manus's personal agent app: each agent gets its own email, phone number, wallet and computer, takes calls for you and can work with other agents. Free in early access with an invite code; later pricing is not published.

Stands out for: Giving each agent a real phone number and inbox is unusual. An agent can field calls, follow up by email and report back, which suits recruiters drowning in scheduling and callback admin.

Watch out for: It is invite-only early access with no published pricing, phone numbers only work in some countries, and agents that can pay and message on your behalf need tight budgets and permissions. Security researchers reported a prompt-injection flaw in Manus in 2026.

Overview

Cue is a standalone personal-agent app from Manus, the Singapore-based AI agent company, released alongside Manus 2.0 on September 28, 2026. It runs on the web, desktop and Android, with iOS awaiting App Store review at launch.

Its core idea is giving each agent an identity: an email address, a phone number, a wallet and its own computer. With these an agent can send messages, take your calls and leave a summary, and pay within a budget you set.

You can run several agents and put them in a group chat around a shared goal, for example one handling inbox follow-ups and another researching companies, with you keeping the final say.

Cue is free during early access with an invite code. Manus has not said what it will cost afterwards, so treat it as a trial rather than a budgeted tool for now.

Who it's for
