## What it is
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

## Facets
