Comparative Review of Kimi OK Computer, Manus, and Lovable: What are the differences between manufacturer-based agents and third-party agents?

A few days ago, Kimi quietly posted a tweet, officially announcing Kimi's arrival. Agent The "OK Computer" mode has begun a small-scale gray-scale test.

The name OK Computer is quite interesting. Those who know, know; it's the name of Radiohead's legendary 1997 album.

At that time, the internet was just beginning, and this album seemed to be a harbinger of an unknown future. Anxiety, alienation, and the coldness of technology blended together to become the most representative voice of that era.

More than 20 years later, OK Computer has reappeared. This time, Kimi positions it as a full-stack white-collar worker, capable of searching, planning, and calling tools. Users are responsible for proposing ideas, and OK Computer is responsible for producing reports, PPTs, apps, and web pages.

K-sister also got her hands on it and did a hands-on test as soon as possible, comparing the OK Computer with two other popular models on the market. Agent—Manus and Lovable conducted a comparative evaluation together.

Next, let's experience the differences together.

For those with beta testing privileges, you'll see an "OK Computer" button in the chat box on the Kimi homepage. Clicking it activates Kimi. up to dateof Agent model.

OK Computer, Manus, and Lovable are the three models. Agent Actually, they represent different things. Agent model:

Kimi's OK Computer is a manufacturer-type product. Agent ,yesLarge ModelThe company personally took charge, integrating the coding capabilities of the K2 model and the ability to call over 20 tools into a complete experimental mode to create a solution. Agent product.

Manus and Lovable rely on existing resources.Large Modelthird party Agent product;

The difference is that Manus does it within a virtual browser.automaticStreamlined execution, focusing on "smooth operation throughout the entire process";

Lovable, on the other hand, takes a vertical approach, focusing on "generating MVP websites in one sentence".

Given the same task, which one will perform closer to a deliverable state?

Case 1 Data Analysis

Prompt wordsPlease analyze Muji's business model and financial performance, including its revenue structure, profit margin, cost control, and market positioning.

fromYahoo FinanceObtain specific financial data through various channels to ensure that all data is accurate.

Based on the analysis results, create a website that embodies Japanese minimalism, with a clean, minimalist style and a clear structure. The website should include rich and intuitive charts and visualizations, drawn using Plotly (financial trends, comparative analysis, key indicators), accompanied by concise text explanations to ensure data-driven, professional, and credible content. Use icons appropriately to enhance clarity.

3 models Agent They found the financial data of Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd., the parent company of MUJI, but K-sister only realized after a closer look that their data was completely different.

First, let's look at OK Computer:

K compared the data online and found that the data published on the official website and in public media was basically consistent with that of OK Computer.

Data found through Manus:

Lovable's data:

Lovable's report data is simply unbearable to look at. The unit of measurement is one billion yen? The proportions are accurate to more than ten decimal places... I'm speechless.

The bar chart wasn't drawn clearly either...

Manus directly provided textual analysis andSimpleThe table.

OK Computer has a lot of charts, but the text is relatively concise, probably to improve the visual presentation.

After Manus's analysis, he gave me a written design proposal and summary.

But what about the website I want?

Let's compare Lovable and OK Computer:

(Left: Lovable; Right: OK Computer)

The page layout is pretty good, and the aesthetics are on point, but the image quality seems better than OK Computer's.

Functionally, they all allow users to select fitness goals and programs to create a fitness plan. OK Computer also thoughtfully includes a recharge function.

The fitness tutorials on the details page for Lovable are not displayed at all. While the OK Computer tutorial is complete, it only provides a starting pose and doesn't adapt to different exercises, leaving room for improvement.

Case 3: Cloning the TikTok app

Prompt wordsCloning the Douyin (TikTok) app

Once the task begins, OK Computer will first plan and list out detailed instructions. Todo listThen, the process involves searching for relevant information online, creating a project outline, collecting and generating materials, and displaying the current progress in real time.

OK Computer completed the cloning of the app in about ten minutes, which is quite fast.

Let's compare the three models.AgentResults:

The apps developed by OK Computer and Manus have more complete functions.

For example, Manus's discovery page allows users to continue watching videos, although some of the content is slightly repetitive; OK Computer's discovery page not only...PopularThe video was also made.PopulartopicrecommendIt feels like they are pursuing complete functionality.

Case 4: Creating a PPT

Prompt wordsCreate a Chinese-style PPT.

Topic: A Study of Ghosts and Monsters from Liaozhai

Content elements: 6 carefully selected typesStrange Tales from a Chinese StudioRepresentative monsters. Each monster occupies 2 pages, including its ancient painting image, original text description, and a brief summary of its abilities and symbolism.

Visual style:AIIt generates a style reminiscent of Song Dynasty ink wash landscape painting, incorporating the texture of antique-style Xuan paper. The composition is ethereal, making extensive use of blank space, with vigorous brushstrokes. The colors are primarily burnt and light ink, with only light ochre or vermilion used as accents. The atmosphere is set as simple and elegant, mysterious and fantastical, with a scholarly feel.

OK Computer still provides a detailed to-do list, searches for information online, and generates relevant image materials.

The PPT generated by OK Computer:

PPT generated by Lovable:

PPT generated by Manus:

All three products performed well on this question, especially OK Computer and Manus, which provided rich content and clearly explained the ghost story, the ghost's abilities and characteristics, background, meaning, original source, etc.

Lovable's unedited photos seem to have a bug; they actually drew a cartoon fox to fill in the blanks...

Overall,Large ModelThe company took the lead. AgentThe advantages are obvious.

First, there's speed. The OK Computer mode has the fastest generation speed, which is most likely based on K2-Turbo.

Secondly, there's the level of development completeness. Whether it's an app, a webpage, or a PPT, OK Computer, while not without its imperfections, has basically achieved a balance between functionality and aesthetics.

In comparison, Manus can complete the process, but it doesn't offer many surprises; Lovable excels at...fastThey may have a prototype that looks impressive, but they can't withstand scrutiny in complex tasks. Their strength lies not in their limits, but in identifying the specific niche where they can excel.

Overall, my impression after using it is that OK Computer can truly complete a whole task, unlike many other systems nowadays.AgentThe resulting products are either unusable or aesthetically displeasing. OK Computer seems to be trying to differentiate itself from other products by achieving both.

OK Computer is a good start, indicating a manufacturer-oriented approach. Agent It has a greater advantage and delivers better results.

Some people say that Kimi has started charging fees, but in my opinion, charging fees is not terrible in itself; what is terrible is not being able to create anything of value.

OK Computer proved that,AgentDelivery standards are still on the rise.

In the future, anyone who wants to enter this field will have to face a question: can they live up to these standards in terms of experience, completion, and even aesthetics?
