What is Wide Research？
Wide Research is a foundational feature launched by the Manus platform that supports system-level parallel processing and agent collaboration protocols. It enables hundreds of general-purpose intelligent agents (Agents) to work simultaneously, helping users efficiently handle complex and large-scale tasks such as researching Fortune 500 companies or comparing top MBA programs. Each sub-agent is a fully functional Manus instance. Tasks are not limited by fixed formats or predefined domains, offering high flexibility. This feature is currently available to Pro users, with plans to gradually expand access to more user tiers.
