"It also aims to use Manus, a Chinese-founded AI firm it agreed to buy in December for a reported $2bn (£1.46bn), in its subscription plans, according to TechCrunch, which first reported the story. The company will also continue to offer standalone Manus subscriptions to businesses. At the time, Meta said the deal would help improve its own AI by giving people access to "agents" - tools which can do complex things with minimal user interaction such as planning trips or making presentations."
"Based in Singapore after relocating from China, Manus has sought to set itself apart from rival AI developers with what it claims can be a "truly autonomous" agent. Unlike many chatbots which need to be repeatedly asked for things before a user can get their desired response, Manus says its service can plan, execute and complete tasks independently in accordance with instructions."
Meta announced Vibes in September as part of the latest Meta AI app. Meta aims to integrate Manus, a Chinese-founded AI firm it agreed to acquire in December for a reported $2bn (£1.46bn), into its subscription plans while continuing to sell standalone Manus subscriptions to businesses. Manus promotes a purportedly "truly autonomous" agent that can plan, execute and complete tasks with minimal user prompts. Meta said acquiring Manus would provide access to general-purpose agents for complex tasks like trip planning and presentations. Beijing opened an inquiry in January to assess potential export control or national security concerns. Meta has tested link-sharing limits and rolled out paid verification.
