"Meta is now buying the hyped AI startup Manus for about $2 billion, TechCrunch reported. Founded in Singapore by former Chinese entrepreneurs, Manus gained widespread attention after a viral demo video showing an AI agent that could handle everything from job interviews to stock analysis. Manus also recently announced that it had reached over $100 million in recurring annual revenue, and had several million users."
"This is despite the service costing between $39 and $199 a month. Meta will let the company continue to operate independently but will integrate its AI agents into Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp."
