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.
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.

The full post, including what it costs us and what we're building next: manus.im/blog/rebuilding-man…
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:
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 👇

Hi Bret, co-founder of Manus here. We'd love to join Personal Agent Protocol as a design partner on the personal agent side. Manus handles a lot of real tasks at companies for our users, mostly by clicking through websites today. That puts us in a good position to implement Draft 0.2, stress-test it, and help with sign-in and push notifications. We haven't managed to connect with the right person yet. Could you point me to them? Thanks!

It was great seeing everyone pull up to our SF Tech Week event earlier this week! Hope the Manus 2.0 deep dive gave everyone a hot start and got you just as hyped as we are 🔥
Thanks to all our friends who came by, shared a conversation, and made the night so much fun 🫶
Got our brand new @CueAgents stickers 2 hours before the roadshow.
Asked @ManusAI to bring them to life.

Made a 3-minute video version of this article with Manus, the quick version.@a16z
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)

Literally hundreds of events during @token2049 and @F1NightRace week in Singapore. So I used @CueAgents to create this dedicated Event Agent to scrape and recommend events across event portals for me

If you got a LinkedIn connection request from me after signing up for our events, it's probably my @CueAgents (by @ManusAI) at work. Here's what I did:
1️⃣ Created a 📅 Luma Agent that logs in as host and pulls the guest list
2️⃣ Created a 💼 LinkedIn Agent that sends connection requests to all of the registered guests
3️⃣ The 📅 Luma Agent passes the list to the 💼 LinkedIn Agent, which automated hundreds of repetitive workflows for me
All that ran on my cloud computer while I slept.

I’m hiring a Technical Account Manager to help support some of Manus’s most strategic customers.
You’ll help power users get more out of Manus, pushing the frontier of what people can actually get done with agents. You’ve built something useful with AI, and you’re good at teaching others how to use AI tools. You probably have ~3 years of experience in a technical or customer-facing role.
This is a full-time, in-person role in San Francisco or Singapore.
If this sounds like you, please reach out with a short explanation of what you’ve built with AI and anything else that would help me understand why you’d be a fit.
Interesting chart.🤔
