OpenManus is an open-source framework for building general-purpose AI agents, created by the MetaGPT team as an open alternative to Manus. It provides a flexible agent framework with tool and API integration, plus a companion RL-tuning project (OpenManus-RL) for LLM agents.

Use cases

• build a general-purpose AI agent without an invite code
• run an open-source alternative to Manus
• connect LLM agents to external tools and APIs
• experiment with agent frameworks in Python
• fine-tune LLM agents with reinforcement learning like GRPO
• automate multi-step tasks with an autonomous agent

When to choose

• you want a fully open-source, community-driven agent framework
• you need a quick, simple Python codebase to extend with custom agent behaviors
• you want to experiment with RL-based tuning of LLM agents

When to avoid

• you need a production-hardened, enterprise-grade agent platform with SLAs
• you want a no-code hosted agent product rather than a framework you run yourself
• you need deep vendor integrations out of the box
