Recently, Manus AI has been making waves online. Due to its exceptional performance and powerful features, obtaining an invitation code to try the product is extremely difficult, with some codes even being scalped for exorbitant prices of up to 50,000 yuan.
Manus AI's founder, Xiao Hong, is reportedly a millennial who graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology with a degree in Software Engineering. After graduation, he launched a series of entrepreneurial projects, including an AI assistant product called Monica, which focuses on an "All-in-One" concept and was initially launched as a browser extension. Monica integrates mainstream large language models (such as Claude 3.5, DeepSeek, etc.), providing functions such as chat, translation, and copywriting. Initially targeting overseas markets, the product has amassed over 1 million users, becoming a leading AI plugin.
