Manus

Manus is a Singapore-based company specializing in autonomous artificial intelligence agents capable of executing complex, end-to-end tasks. Their flagship product, Manus, autonomously plans, researches, writes code, and delivers finished products, operating asynchronously in the cloud. Manus integrates with external tools, including web browsers, code editors, and database management systems, to handle tasks such as advanced data analysis, report generation, and content creation. The agent's multi-modal capabilities allow it to process and generate various data types, including text, images, and code, catering to diverse user needs.

Founded in China and later relocating to Singapore, Manus has experienced significant growth since its launch in March 2025. The company reported a revenue run rate of approximately $125 million by December 2025. In April 2025, Manus raised $75 million in a Series B funding round led by Benchmark, valuing the company at around $500 million. The acquisition of Manus by Meta for over $2 billion in December 2025 marked a significant milestone, aiming to integrate Manus's autonomous AI agents into Meta's platforms. However, in April 2026, Chinese regulators blocked the acquisition, citing national security concerns, leading to the unwinding of the deal.

Manus's autonomous AI agents have been recognized for their ability to perform real-world tasks, such as advanced analytics, long-term planning, and web-based operations. The company's technology has been compared to OpenAI's DeepResearch and Google's Project Astra, positioning Manus as a significant player in the AI agent market. Despite facing challenges, including the unwinding of the Meta acquisition, Manus continues to develop and deploy its autonomous AI agents, contributing to advancements in AI-driven task automation and human-computer interaction.
