TaglineOpenAI's browser agent. Clicks and types on websites for you.Wire Cursor's full coding-agent runtime into your own apps, scripts, and CI/CD pipelines with a few lines of TypeScript.Open weights + strong photorealism. The open-source answer.Autonomous AI agent that actually finishes tasks.
CategoryAgentsDev PlatformImageAgents
PricingIncluded with ChatGPT Pro $200/moToken-based; requires Cursor plan (Pro from $20/mo). Composer 2 at $0.50/$2.50 per M tokens (in/out); fast variant $1.50/$7.50 per M tokens.API + open weights (Schnell is Apache 2.0)Free tier + $39-$199/mo
Best forPower users willing to pay $200/mo for a browser bot.Engineering teams who already use Cursor and want to embed its coding-agent runtime into CI/CD pipelines, backend services, or internal developer tools without building agent infrastructure from scratch.Developers + power users who want control and privacy.People who want to hand off tasks entirely — trip planning, research, spreadsheet building.
Strengths
  • Actually uses websites — fills forms, clicks, checks out
  • Built into ChatGPT
  • Good for repetitive web tasks
  • Same runtime as the Cursor IDE — no reinventing sandboxing, context management, or model routing
  • Three execution modes: local machine, Cursor cloud VMs (isolated per-agent), or self-hosted workers for air-gapped teams
  • Cloud agents are durable — keep running even if your laptop sleeps or connection drops, and can open PRs automatically on finish
  • Full harness included: codebase indexing, MCP servers, skills, hooks, and multi-agent delegation via subagents
  • Visible in Cursor's Agents Window — programmatic runs can be inspected or taken over manually in the IDE
  • Runs locally on a beefy GPU
  • Very photoreal
  • Best open-weight model
  • General-purpose agent — research, book, build, analyze
  • Parallel task execution
  • Web browsing + file creation + coding
Weaknesses
  • Slow vs doing it yourself
  • Breaks on complex auth flows
  • $200/mo gate
  • TypeScript-only SDK — no official Python or other language bindings at launch
  • Public beta status means API surface and pricing can shift without much notice (Cursor has a track record of surprise pricing changes)
  • Cloud VM costs layer on top of subscription credits, making cost estimation non-trivial at scale
  • Harder to use than hosted tools
  • Needs infra
  • Still hit-or-miss on complex multi-hour tasks
  • Can burn credits fast
Kai's verdictB-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.If your team is already in the Cursor ecosystem, this is a genuinely compelling way to turn ad-hoc AI coding sessions into durable, automated workflows — but the beta label and Cursor's history with opaque pricing mean you'll want to set hard budget guardrails before going to production. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.
