Today, Manus, the world's first general-purpose AI agent, officially joined Weibo, sparking enthusiastic attention and discussion among netizens. According to Weibo's AI official account, Manus is not just a smart assistant; it's a "hands-on" super colleague. Requiring only a simple instruction, it can handle tasks ranging from resume screening and travel planning to data analysis, PPT creation, and even coding and deploying web games, making it an efficiency booster for office workers, students, and entrepreneurs alike.
As a general-purpose AI agent, Manus bridges the gap between thought and action. It not only possesses the ability to think but, more importantly, can directly deliver results. Officially, Manus excels at handling various work and life tasks, completing everything while the user rests, truly embodying the concept of "knowing and doing." Monica's co-founder and chief scientist, Ji Yichao, stated that Manus isn't merely a chatbot or workflow; it's a truly autonomous entity that can bridge the gap between conception and execution, unlike other AI that often stops at idea generation. Manus delivers results. Therefore, Manus is considered a paradigm shift in next-generation human-computer collaboration, offering a potential glimpse into the future of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).
Due to Manus's impressive performance and powerful capabilities, access currently requires an invitation code, leading to a high demand and even a skyrocketing price of up to 50,000 yuan for a single code. Following the launch of Manus's official Chinese Weibo account, netizens have flooded the platform with requests for invitation codes, eager to experience this truly helpful AI agent.
Addressing the issue of invitation code speculation, Manus AI partner Zhang Tao responded on social media. He expressed gratitude for the support and attention, acknowledging the workload while emphasizing his enthusiasm. He clarified some misinformation, stating that the company has never established any paid channels for obtaining invitation codes and has not invested any marketing budget. Due to limited system capacity during the beta testing phase, the company will prioritize the core experience of existing users and gradually release invitation codes in an orderly manner. Zhang Tao's response aims to alleviate concerns about invitation code speculation and demonstrate the company's commitment to product improvement and development.
With Manus's official arrival on Weibo, more users will likely have the opportunity to learn about and experience the powerful capabilities of this general-purpose AI agent.
