Manus says it has formally resumed independent operations, with its founding team continuing to lead the company and drive its work on general AI agents. The company made the statement in a blog post published Tuesday.
The post acknowledges that some users faced a temporary interruption to data access during the transition, requiring them to back up and restore their information. Manus points affected users to a restoration portal and says there is no deadline to complete the process. It does not explain what caused the interruption or how many users were affected.
Manus says it plans to embed itself more deeply into daily workflows and handle complex tasks more proactively. The company gives no specifics on product timelines or scope.
For anyone still holding an unrestored backup, the portal stays open with no deadline. The vague framing of the interruption itself means its real scope remains unknown.
According to Manus’s own blog post, “Manus Resumes Independent Operations,” published September 1, 2026.
