I think China's second DeepSeek moment is here.

This AI agent called 'Manus' is going crazy viral in China right now.

Probably only a matter of time until it hits the US.

It's like Deep Research + Operator + Claude Computer combined, and it's REALLY good.
We noticed Manus gaining some traction @TheRundownAI and wrote about it in the newsletter this morning

Shortly after publishing, one of the cofounders reached out with an invitation code. Thanks @peakji!

So I dropped my work for the morning (emails can wait) and tested it out:
@TheRundownAI @peakji For my first test, I asked Manus to create a biography on Rowan Cheung and deploy a website based on that biography

Insanely impressive watching it go through my social channels, browse articles, and deploy the site

And it was 100% accurate, info up to date as of today
