This NEW AI Cloud Computer is INSANE! 🤯
The video introduces Manus, an AI agent with a new 'cloud computer' feature that runs bots, databases, and scheduled tasks continuously without requiring coding skills. Unlike standard AI chatbots that reset after each session, Manus's cloud computer persists files, tools, and automations indefinitely. The presenter argues this removes the technical barrier that previously required developer skills to build always-on AI workflows.
Summary
The video, presented by a digital avatar of Julian Goldie, introduces Manus's newly launched 'cloud computer' — a persistent, always-on cloud environment for running AI-powered automations without any coding knowledge. The presenter begins by framing the historical limitation of AI tools: they were tied to a user's local machine and stopped working the moment a tab was closed or a laptop shut down.
Manus is described not as a chatbot but as an AI agent — one that takes a goal and executes it step by step using a real browser, real tools, and real code. The cloud computer differentiates itself from a standard AI session by maintaining persistent file storage and installed tools across sessions, functioning more like a personal laptop in the cloud than a one-off chat interface.
The presenter outlines five major use cases: (1) Always-on bots for platforms like Slack, Discord, Telegram, and WhatsApp that handle customer service, lead management, or news summaries; (2) Persistent knowledge bases and databases that accumulate data over time and can be queried by Manus for trend reports; (3) Installation and configuration of open-source tools like WordPress, Home Assistant, and Plausible, which Manus handles automatically; (4) Scheduled tasks such as nightly competitor website scrapers that deliver morning reports; and (5) Command-line developer tools made accessible without touching a terminal.
The video also distinguishes between Manus's three environments: the regular sandbox for one-off tasks, the desktop app ('My Computer') for local file work, and the cloud computer for persistent, always-on operations. The presenter identifies target users as small business owners, content creators, operations professionals, and freelancers. Practical tips are offered, including starting small, using plain language, and periodically checking on running automations. The video concludes with promotions for two paid communities: AI Profit Boardroom and AI Success Lab.
Key Insights
- The presenter argues that Manus's cloud computer solves the fundamental limitation of AI tools being tied to a local machine — meaning automations stop the moment a laptop is closed or Wi-Fi drops — by hosting everything in a persistent cloud environment.
- Unlike standard AI chat sessions that start from zero each time with no memory, the Manus cloud computer maintains files, installed tools, and ongoing tasks across sessions indefinitely, functioning more like a personal laptop than a chatbot.
- The presenter claims Manus can install and configure complex open-source tools like Home Assistant, WordPress, and Plausible automatically — handling terminal commands and configuration files that typically cause non-technical users to give up.
- Manus is described as part of Meta, which the presenter argues gives it 'serious backing' that distinguishes it from other AI agent tools in the market.
- The presenter outlines three distinct Manus environments with different purposes: the regular sandbox for disposable one-off tasks, the desktop app for local file management, and the cloud computer specifically for bots, databases, and scheduled tasks that must persist when the user is offline.

[0:00] This new AI cloud computer is insane. What if your AI could keep working while you sleep? What if you could build a bot today and it just runs forever without a single line of code? Most people think you need to be a developer to do this. You don't. Not anymore. There's a brand new tool that changed everything and almost nobody's talking about it yet. Hey, I'm the digital avatar of Julian Goldie and I help people learn and actually use AI tools in their work. This video, I'll break down a brand new AI cloud computer that just launched. What it does, why it's a big deal, who needs it and how to use it. Stick…
