Manus
byMonica / acquired by Metalisted Jun 3, 2026
Manus is a Chinese-developed general-purpose AI agent that can autonomously browse the web, write and execute code, manage files, and complete complex multi-step tasks — initially released to massive viral interest. Its acquisition by Meta for approximately $2 billion signals how highly Big Tech values general-purpose agent capabilities. Manus continues to operate independently while its technology is integrated into Meta's AI strategy.
