Frequently asked questions
What is a cloud computer?
A Manus Cloud Computer is a persistent computer in the cloud for your agent. With an active plan, it can run apps, scripts, and bots apart from your own laptop, and you can return to its files in a later task.
Is a cloud computer the same as a cloud PC or a VPS?
Cloud PC and cloud desktop are broad terms for a remote computer. This Cloud Computer is a cloud VM you can select for your Manus agent; with a self-managed VPS, you choose and configure the server and its software yourself. The available operating systems depend on your account.
Can I access a virtual machine online from anywhere?
Yes. This virtual computer is a remote computer separate from your laptop. You can select it for a task, check it in My Computer, and access a Linux computer by SSH or its web terminal when available.
Can I run OpenClaw or n8n on a Manus Cloud Computer?
You can install compatible tools on a Cloud Computer. For OpenClaw or n8n, check the software’s installation requirements against your available computer plan, then test the setup. No ready-made installation for those tools is listed in the current Cloud Computer setup.
How do I host Discord bots or Telegram bots on Cloud Computer?
For Discord bot hosting or Telegram bot hosting, select your Cloud Computer in a task. Ask your agent to set up the bot, add its token, test a message, and show you where to check logs or restart it.
Can I use it for website monitoring or as an uptime monitor?
You can schedule website checks and save reports on the Cloud Computer. For outage alerts, choose a notification method and test it as part of your monitoring setup; a built-in uptime monitor is not listed in the Cloud Computer setup.
Does Cloud Computer keep running after I close my browser?
Yes, when your Cloud Computer and subscription are active, its running processes do not depend on your browser or laptop staying open. A restart, a failed process, resource limits, or a lapsed plan can still interrupt the work.
How much does a Manus Cloud Computer cost?
Cloud Computer uses a monthly computer subscription, with additional storage charges when applicable. Published plan details are in the Cloud Computer plans guide; My Computer shows the current options and amount before you subscribe. Powering off the computer does not cancel its subscription.
Is there a Cloud Computer free plan?
The available plans are shown in My Computer. Team free-tier accounts cannot create a Cloud Computer there; check the choices shown for your account before continuing.
Is Cloud Computer an AI agent hosting service?
It is an AI sandbox with a persistent file system that your Manus agent can use for tasks. You can install software on it; for another AI agent, first check its requirements against the computer you have.
Can computer use AI work on my Cloud Computer?
Yes. Select an available Cloud Computer for a task and your Manus agent can use its browser, files, and installed tools. My Computer shows the computer’s status and resources; your local computer is a separate choice.
When should I use Manus Desktop or Cloud Computer?
Use Manus Desktop for files and apps on your own computer; that work depends on your machine being on and the Desktop app running. Use Cloud Computer for an available remote computer that can keep a bot or script running without your laptop.
Which operating system does Cloud Computer use?
You choose from the operating systems offered during setup. Linux setups include Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Other options depend on the plans available to your account.
Can I access it via SSH or a web terminal?
For a Linux Cloud Computer, its details show an SSH command and a Web terminal button. Open My Computer, select the computer, and look under its connection details.
What happens to my files if I cancel my plan?
A Linux Cloud Computer stays active until its subscription ends, then it is suspended. The cancellation screen warns that if you do not reactivate within 30 days, its data is permanently deleted. Back up important files before ending the plan; other systems can have different terms.
