Manus AI is a general-purpose autonomous artificial intelligence agent that bridges the gap between intention and execution. Originally developed by the Chinese startup Monica (Butterfly Effect Pte Ltd) and launched in March 2025, Manus quickly gained global attention for its ability to execute complex, multi-step workflows autonomously.
Within 72 hours of launch, Manus attracted over 180,000 users — making it one of the fastest-growing AI products in history. Following its rapid adoption, Manus was acquired by Meta Platforms in December 2025 for an estimated $2–3 billion.
Unlike conversational chatbots that wait for step-by-step prompts, Manus operates within a sandboxed virtual computer environment. It can browse the web, write and execute code, manage files, build websites, create presentations, and synthesize data to deliver complete, ready-to-use outcomes — all from a single prompt.
