Manus AI is the world’s first truly general AI agent. It doesn’t just respond to prompts like chatbots, it actually thinks, plans, and completes tasks all on its own. It can plan a detailed trip itinerary, analyze stocks, help teachers create coursework, and even compare insurance policies. Manus started getting attention when a demo video was posted on X (formerly Twitter) Within hours, it had over 200,000 views, and people were scrambling to get invitation codes. It kind of reminds us of what happened with DeepSeek R1 a few weeks ago—another AI model from China that made headlines for being super powerful yet cost-effective. Whether it truly changes the way we use AI remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure—it’�s got people talking. It’s not just another chatbot. It’’s like having a smart assistant that actually does the work for you. It browses the web, takes screenshots, records activity, and presents a structured output in real time. It was hosted by Peak Ji Yichao, a Chinese entrepreneur known for creating the Mammoth mobile browser. Not much is known about the company, but it suggests there might be a bigger tech ecosystem at play here. The more you use it, the better it gets at understanding what you like and need. The demo showed Manus in action—browsing the web,. gathering info, using tools, andeven controlling 50 different screens at once. It jumped between X, Telegram, and other platforms effortlessly. This level of automation is something we haven’t really seen before. But Manus AI feels different.
