Meta Platforms Acquires Manus to Accelerate Business and Consumer AI

MT Newswires Live12-30 06:45

Meta Platforms (META) said late Monday that AI startup Manus has joined the company to help accelerate the rollout of general purpose AI agents for consumers and businesses.

Manus has developed an autonomous AI agent for tasks such as research, coding, and data analysis, and Meta will continue selling the service while integrating it across its products, including Meta AI, the report said.

Meta Platforms added that the Manus team will join its AI unit to expand agent-based capabilities across consumer and business products as it scales AI tools globally.

Shares of Meta Platforms were down 0.4% in recent after-hours activity.

Manus’s Annoucement:

Manus Joins Meta for Next Era of Innovation

The news is out, and it's big: Manus is joining Meta.

This announcement is more than just a headline—it's validation of our pioneering work with General AI Agents.

Since the launch, Manus has focused on building a general-purpose AI agent designed to help users tackle research, automation, and complex tasks. Through continuous product iteration, we’ve been working hard to make these capabilities more reliable and useful across a growing range of real-world use cases. In just a few months, our agent has processed more than 147 Trillion tokens and powered the creation of over 80 Million virtual computers.

We believe in the potential of autonomous agents, and this development reinforces Manus’s role as an execution layer — turning advanced AI capabilities into scalable, reliable systems that can carry out end-to-end work in real-world settings.

Our top priority is ensuring that this change won’t be disruptive for our customers. We will continue to sell and operate our product subscription service through our app and website. The company will continue to operate from Singapore.

Our solution is driving value for millions of users worldwide today. With time, we hope to expand this subscription to the millions of businesses and billions of people on Meta’s platforms.

“Joining Meta allows us to build on a stronger, more sustainable foundation without changing how Manus works or how decisions are made,” said Xiao Hong, CEO of Manus. “We’re excited about what the future holds with Meta and Manus working together and we will continue to iterate the product and serve users that have defined Manus from the beginning.”

     Manus is a Chinese startup! Manus is primarily known as a new type of autonomous AI agent that executes complex, multi-step tasks in the cloud, acting like a digital assistant to handle research, content creation (like coding or writing reports from data), scheduling, and data analysis without constant human input, bridging the gap between idea and execution. Meta will operate and sell the Manus service, as well as integrate it into its consumer and business products, including in Meta AI, the company said. The exact financial terms of the deal have not been officially disclosed by the company.
