Recently, Manus AI partner Zhang Tao released a statement on the platform, sharing the team's unexpected adventure over the past 17 hours. Zhang Tao explained that the team initially only wanted to share their progress in exploring the agent product form, so server resources were prepared according to industry standards for releasing a demo. They hadn't anticipated such an overwhelming response.
Faced with the sudden surge in user enthusiasm, Zhang Tao admitted the team significantly underestimated everyone's expectations. Currently, to address the limited server capacity, Manus AI has implemented an invitation code system and spent all night making technical adjustments. Zhang Tao stated that the team hopes to allow more users on the waiting list to experience Manus in the coming days.
Regarding recent discussions about invitation codes and promotion, Zhang Tao also clarified the situation on social media. He emphasized that Manus AI has never opened any channels for paid acquisition of invitation codes, nor has it invested in marketing budgets. During the internal testing phase, due to limited system capacity, Manus AI will prioritize the core experience of existing users and gradually release invitation codes in an orderly manner.
Manus is defined as a general-purpose AI agent that can translate users' ideas into actions, possessing the ability to think and deliver results. Whether at work or in life, Manus can efficiently complete various tasks, helping users relax easily. In the GAIA benchmark test, which evaluates general-purpose AI assistants in solving real-world problems, Manus achieved new state-of-the-art results at all three difficulty levels.
In response to the enthusiastic support from users, Zhang Tao stated that the team will continue to focus on product development and continuously improve user experience to meet everyone's expectations.
