It’s an honor be the first human guest speaker on stage🤣 next year maybe I have to learn dancing with robots to secure my place for this stage.
Are traditional tech roles dead? 🤔
At #WebSummit, Tao Zhang of Manus AI revealed that internally, they've scrapped traditional job titles like front-end or back-end engineer. With AI, PMs are writing code and designers are committing to the codebase. The one skill that matters now? Your ability to co-work with AI.
A year ago, an engineer would read my request, work out what I meant, then write the code.
Now our engineers often has 10–20 requests running at once.
In September I found my Slack message pasted word for word as an engineer's prompt.
What changed when we rebuilt Manus with Manus:
1/ There's no halfway point.
Before 2026, we added AI to how we already worked: AI summaries, coding assistants, bots in channels. Each was useful, but nothing was connected.
It was the old way of working, with a lot of AI talking over each other.
2/ Context did more than prompts.
We built Mono: one entry point to all our repos, plus a manual written for the agent. How the system fits together, how we test and release, and why past decisions were made.
Our 7-person mobile team now maintains 4 apps across 2 products.
3/ We closed the loop on bugs.
One agent triages a user report and traces it to the change that caused it. The owning engineer hands it to their own agent. A third agent verifies the fix.
A person makes the calls in between. Nothing ships without human approval.

See you in Lisbon!
Next Stop: Lisbon.
Manus 2.0 is coming to Lisbon. Join the Manus team for a relaxed evening with the local AI community. Meet new people, swap stories about how you’re using AI agents, and share what you’ve been building (or want to build next).

Happy to see more teammates can start their own crazy idea with Manus🥰 and the Lego idea is really amazing!!!
Manus is paying me to run my own startup 🧱
I turn real places, or ones from a kid's drawing, into custom LEGO sets. @ManusAI built the whole thing: site, 3D builds, brick checks, Stripe, domain, email, launch video. I just clicked verify!
Domain to first order in 2 days 👇
Got our brand new @CueAgents stickers 2 hours before the roadshow.
Asked @ManusAI to bring them to life.
Interesting chart.🤔
The seventh edition of our Top 100 Consumer AI Apps is here.
New this time: a revenue leaderboard, alongside the usual web and mobile traffic rankings.
Three years ago we published the first edition. ChatGPT was #1, Claude was unranked, and the entire category was chatbots, image generators, and not much else.
In today's edition:
- ChatGPT still holds the throne, now with 1B+ monthly actives on mobile
- Claude has climbed to #3 on web with nearly 1B monthly visits
- The category has expanded to vibe coding (Lovable, Cursor, Replit), music (Suno), design (Figma), voice (ElevenLabs), video (Higgsfield, Kling), agents (Manus), and even hardware (Plaud)
Full breakdown from @omooretweets: a16z.news/p/top-100-consumer…
I have to admit, I was the one playing the skeptic at first. Before handing him the task, I never expected this high quality.
Everyone really needs to reevaluate AI video generation. It is completely different from the kind of AI video you think you know from the past.
I made the launch video for @CueAgents
literally 24 hours before it launched.
All in @ManusAI Studio.
Got the brief at 9pm.
Boss: "Need a launch video tomorrow. You've got 24 hours."
Me: how am I supposed to pull this off??
A few hours of polishing in Manus later, it was done. I love how it turned out, especially the soundtrack and the little animations. Exactly the vibe.
The hard part of a launch video isn't making a video.
It's matching the brand tone and the brief. That takes a million small details.
Manus Studio already had all that context: our meeting notes, Notion, Slack, Figma, repos, and everything it remembers about how I work. It pulled it together and helped me shape the idea, the storyboard and the final cut.
It just passed 1.4M views. My second million-view video ever.
AI didn't replace my creativity. It multiplied it.
I've already started editing my vlogs in Manus too. So satisfying.

This video was made with Manus Studio, with some human touch from @Nin19536.
If someone had told me three months ago that an agent could make a launch video like this, I wouldn’t have believed them.
And yet, here we are.
While building @ManusAI 2.0, our engineers had a favorite way to chill during the busiest days: playing mini-games in our game development mode—all made by our talented engineer, @roxasorag .
Surprisingly relaxing—and maybe a little too addictive.😆
Cue by Manus is free for a limited time now! You can try Android&Mac&Windows version now, iOS is submitted for review and will be available soon. If you need invites, drop a message here.
Today Manus is independent again..and the team is fired up!
We never stopped building and in the last few weeks alone, we’ve shipped [Cloud Computer for Manus, Scheduled Tasks 2.0, Manus for Small Business and a bunch of other features].
Now, we’re shipping faster than ever, and what’s coming next is the most ambitious product work in our history. I can’t wait to share it.
You’ve placed your trust in Manus. We aim to pay that back in the product, where it counts.
