For Manus
Manus can plan, browse, and deliver work.
It still needs a dedicated capability runtime.
Manus is excellent at autonomous, browser-driven, multi-step execution. The gap appears when a workflow needs repeatable image generation, video generation, image understanding, or video analysis without turning every task into fresh provider setup. AnyCap adds that missing runtime through one skill, one login, and one CLI, so you keep Manus and expand what it can reliably deliver.
Keep Manus. Standardize the capability layer.
Capability gap
Where Manus still benefits from a dedicated runtime
Manus can stay focused on autonomous execution while AnyCap standardizes generation, analysis, search, storage, and publishing across tasks.
| Capability | Manus alone | Add with AnyCap | Best next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Image generation | General-purpose workflow | Generate visuals and mockups via anycap image generate | Image Generation page |
| Video generation | Task-by-task setup | Create walkthroughs and clips via anycap video generate | Video Generation page |
| Music generation | Task-by-task provider setup | Create background tracks through the AnyCap music runtime | Music Generation page |
| Image understanding | Ad hoc visual reasoning | Read screenshots, diagrams, and visual references | Image Understanding page |
| Video analysis | Ad hoc review workflow | Inspect recordings from the same CLI | Video Analysis page |
| Audio understanding | Ad hoc audio review | Transcribe and analyze audio through one runtime | Audio Understanding page |
| Web search | Search behavior varies by task | Search the web from the same capability layer | Web Search page |
| Grounded web search | Grounded search varies by task | Run grounded search when the answer needs citations | Grounded Web Search page |
| Web crawl | Crawl setup varies by task | Crawl pages and extract content from one CLI | Web Crawl page |
| Drive storage | Asset storage depends on each workflow | Store outputs with public URLs in AnyCap Drive | Pricing page |
| Page hosting | Publishing setup varies by task | Publish simple pages through AnyCap Page | Pricing page |
| One auth flow | Capability access varies by task | One login across the capability stack | Get Started page |
This page is the Manus hub. Until more Manus-specific deep pages exist, the next steps route to the capability pages or pricing page that closes each gap fastest.
Install in 3 steps
Step 1
Install the skill
npx -y skills add anycap-ai/anycap -y
Manus supports reusable skills. This gives Manus a durable entry point into the AnyCap runtime instead of re-explaining the same capability stack in every task.
Step 2
Install the CLI
curl -fsSL https://anycap.ai/install.sh | sh
The CLI becomes the stable execution surface for image, video, and vision workloads across Manus tasks.
Step 3
Log in and verify
anycap login && anycap status
After authentication, Manus can reuse the same capability runtime without fresh provider setup every time a task expands.

FAQ
Why add AnyCap to Manus?
Manus is strong at autonomous, end-to-end execution. AnyCap adds a dedicated runtime for image, video, and vision workloads so those capabilities stay reusable, predictable, and easier to route across tasks.
Does AnyCap replace Manus?
No. The point is to keep Manus and add a stable capability layer for image generation, video generation, image understanding, and video analysis.
Can Manus use AnyCap through a skill?
Yes. Install the AnyCap skill, install the CLI, log in once, and then Manus can invoke the same capability layer across multiple workflows.
What should I start with for Manus workflows?
Most teams start with the first missing capability in the workflow: image generation for assets, image understanding for screenshots, video generation for demos, or video analysis for recordings.
