Building an autonomous AI executor (Manus-style, but task-based)

[shadeMSARWE]

Hi crewAI community,

I’m not looking to hire freelancers or sell anything.

I want to build an autonomous AI tool (Manus-style behavior, not UI) that can:

• Understand a task
• Break it into steps
• Execute steps autonomously
• Decide the next action by itself
• Ask the human only when required

Use case: Shopify operators & solo founders who want real automation.

I’m looking for:

• architectural direction
• best practices with crewAI
• contributors interested in building something serious

Any guidance is appreciated.
