Hands-on: Manus Cue gives agents their own identity, but not always-on usefulness
A week-long hands-on by Qidian Research (published by TMTPost) examines Cue, the personal AI assistant Manus launched on September 28, in which each agent gets its own email address, phone number, digital wallet and dedicated computer and can keep working after the user logs out. Email triage and replies were the smoothest part, but phone calls and payments stalled because they require international accounts, multi-agent collaboration needed overseas app integrations and produced muddled group-chat handoffs, and calendar management could not plug into WeChat or QQ. The piece notes Cue launched for overseas users with a China version still in preparation, and that Cue membership is not shared with Manus 2.0.
The review frames the central question for personal AI agents: who grants an agent its identity, how far its permissions reach and who is accountable when it errs, and whether a self-owned agent identity can win acceptance from outside platforms.

AI助理开始给自己配“身份证”了。
9月28日，Manus推出个人AI助理Cue：每个Agent都可以拥有独立邮箱、电话号码、数字钱包和专属电脑，即使用户退出登录，它也能继续工作。Cue想做的已经超出一个随叫随到的工具，它要以自己的身份，替人处理邮件、接打电话、安排日程，甚至在预算范围内付款。
这套设想把Personal AI推向一个更具体、也更难回避的问题：当AI开始替人行动，它究竟该以谁的身份办事？身份由谁授予，权限如何划定，出了差错又由谁负责？
我们开通Cue Pro会员实测了一周，邮件处理是目前最顺畅的一环，电话与支付被国际账号挡在门外，多Agent协作需要繁琐配置，日程管理又接不进国内用户常用的微信、QQ等信息流。
