OPPO has partnered with AI agent platform Manus to bring agentic AI to smartphones. Manus' capabilities will be built into OPPO's AI Mind Pilot, announced on October 13, 2026. The feature debuts in AI Mind Pilot's new Agent Mode on the upcoming OPPO Find X10 Series with ColorOS 17. It can break a user's goal into steps, pick the right tools, and deliver a finished result, such as a day-by-day itinerary built from bookings scattered across apps. ColorOS 17 uses on-device models for local tasks, so files and photos are not shared with Manus. AI Mind Pilot asks for explicit confirmation before uploading or sharing content for external processing. OPPO will announce details on availability and supported markets at launch.

Manus expands AI agent lineup with Manus 2.0, Cue. Manus on September 28 announced Manus 2.0 and Cue, expanding its AI agent product lineup. Manus, a China-founded AI startup now based in Singapore, said Cue is a standalone app that lets users create and deploy personal agents with their own email, phone number, and digital wallet. The startup said Manus 2.0 is designed to be faster and better able to work independently, improving its ability to handle tasks such as research, coding, website creation, and presentations. Manus drew widespread attention after its 2025 debut with technology designed to carry out complicated jobs. The launch follows a failed deal in April after China blocked Meta's planned US$2 billion acquisition of Manus. Recent Manus developments.
