Overview
- Meta says it will continue to operate and sell Manus from Singapore and will integrate the agent into its products.
- Manus executes end-to-end tasks such as travel bookings, CV sorting, market research, programming, and data analysis, distinguishing it from chat-only assistants.
- Meta did not disclose the purchase price, while Bloomberg Intelligence estimates the value at $1.5–$2 billion.
- The service uses a subscription model and claims millions of users, offering Meta a pathway to recurring AI revenue.
- Analysts warn the transaction may draw regulatory review due to Manus’s Chinese origins, against a backdrop of U.S.–China tech tensions and chip export controls.
