Manus My Computer for local desktop integration and Meeting Minutes for intelligent meeting observation are the 2026 updates that extend what it can access

My Computer allowing Manus to interact with local files and applications for tasks like organising folders or executing code is the local operation layer that extends the agent beyond web-based tasks into your actual working environment. The difference between an agent that can research the web and an agent that can also read, write and organise your local files is the gap between a research assistant and a genuine operational assistant.

Meeting Minutes providing intelligent meeting observation with summary and action item extraction is the meeting intelligence feature that joins a crowded category but adds it within the Manus context where the action items can be automatically fed into subsequent agent tasks rather than requiring manual transfer.

The MCP integration for extending agent capabilities with external tools is the ecosystem connection that makes Manus compatible with the growing Model Context Protocol tool library rather than requiring Manus-specific integrations for every new capability.

The evolution from chatbot to comprehensive AI agent being the stated direction is the product trajectory worth evaluating in terms of which specific new capability would most change your current usage.

Which Manus capability would most change how you use it: local file access, meeting intelligence, or MCP tool integration?
