OpenManus is an autonomous agent framework designed to build intelligent software entities capable of executing complex, multi-step tasks through independent decision-making. It functions as a workflow orchestration engine that uses a central language model to interpret user goals, break them down into actionable steps, and manage the execution flow of agents. The system maintains coherence across tasks through a stateful execution context that tracks progress and intermediate data.
The platform distinguishes itself through a dynamic capability discovery mechanism that inspects tool definitions at runtime to determine which external services are required to satisfy specific prompts. It utilizes an event-driven agent loop to monitor task status and trigger subsequent actions based on previous outputs, supported by a standardized tool-binding interface layer that maps natural language requests to external functions.
This architecture provides a modular environment for workflow automation engineering, enabling the integration of third-party APIs and live data streams. By delegating high-level objectives to specialized agents, the system facilitates the creation of self-correcting processes that operate without constant manual oversight.
