Cloukrus, a cloud and AI management specialist, said on Sunday it has signed a partnership with global AI agent company Manus as part of an effort to expand its enterprise AI solutions.

According to Cloukrus, Manus provides a general-purpose AI agent that turns a goal presented by a user into a finished output.

When a user describes what they want, Manus can plan and carry out the necessary steps and perform tasks that require multiple stages, including research, data analysis, web-based work, presentation creation, application development and automation of repetitive work.

Cloukrus has supported enterprise adoption and use of AI through partnerships with global cloud, AI and data technology companies including OpenAI, Microsoft, Google Cloud and Databricks. Through the partnership, Cloukrus plans to add Manus to its enterprise AI solution lineup and support corporate customers in adopting and using Manus.

Tao Zhang (타오 장), co-founder and chief product officer of Manus, said, "Korean users adopted AI agents early on, and now companies are starting to use them for team-level work beyond the individual level." He added, "Cloukrus has built experience by building and operating cloud and AI environments for Korean companies. The two companies will support more Korean companies and organisations in using Manus in everyday work. When a person sets a goal, Manus completes the work."

Hong Seong-wan (홍성완), CEO of Cloukrus, said, "Companies are demanding from cloud and AI partners not only cost efficiency and infrastructure operations, but also the capability to support new AI technologies and workloads quickly and stably." He added, "In line with these changes, Cloukrus is increasing accessibility to global AI technologies and platforms and strengthening its capability to apply them to customers' real business environments. Cooperation with Manus is also part of this strategy," he stressed.
