 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.

Today, Manus resumes independent operations, entering a new chapter driven by the same spirit of innovation.

A Note to Our Users Manus will soon resume operating as an independent company. As part of this transition and to comply with regulatory requirements in specific jurisdictions, some users will need to back-up their data before 7:59 a.m. on August 23, 2026 (SGT) and then begin restoration starting from 8:00 a.m on August 25, 2026 (SGT) to ensure normal usage. More information can be found in the blog post and we’ve provided detailed guides, including to understand if you’re affected, in our Help Center For affected users, these are the key details: We’ll notify you by email and in the Manus app. If you signed up with an Apple ID or Facebook account, please check your in-app notifications. Back up your data from now until August 23 (SGT) before 7:59 a.m. You can back up more than once, you can create new data after backing up, just run it again. Starting from 8:00 a.m. on August 25 (SGT), the restoration portal will open. Restore your data and pick up right where you left off. Affected users will not be charged during the transition, and we will be providing welcome back bonuses. If your account is not affected, you don’t need to do anything - keep using Manus as usual. You’ll get an in-app notification confirming this. For those affected, we know this is disruptive and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. Supporting you through it is our top priority. In addition to the full guides in the Help Center, our customer service team is ready to help 24/7 with any questions. As we look ahead, we couldn’t be more excited by the future.

🎶 🚖 An Uber driver went viral for playing a custom AI song about his passenger, “Albert.” I wondered: what if any driver could generate custom songs for passenger on the fly, even before the ride ends? One pattern keeps emerging in applied AI: hyper-personalization at scale. So I built it with @ManusAI and @ElevenLabs MCP connector. In one shot: → full-stack app with a retro taxi radio UI → type a name, get a 60-second track in ~3 seconds → 4 languages + database persistence Now any name becomes a studio-quality song before the meter starts running. Turns out AI can make everyday moments feel personal too! (And thanks @lennysan for putting both products in the AI Product Pass — definitely a 1+1>2 combo.)

A pharmacist in South Korea was spending more time in Excel than with his actual clients. He coaches bodybuilders on nutrition. Every week, he recalculated each person’s calorie targets by hand, then messaged them with updated numbers. His client list kept growing and the manual work was burying him.

I’m officially obsessed with building on the go.
