Manus is a general AI agent that bridges minds and actions: it doesn’t just think, it delivers results. Manus excels at various tasks in work and life, getting everything done while you rest.
Manus AI, developed by the Chinese startup Monica, has garnered significant attention for its innovative AI capabilities.
Manus AI’s parent company, referred to as “butterfly effect” in some reports, has successfully completed two rounds of financing, raising a total of over $10 million. The first round was led by ZhenFund, a prominent Chinese venture capital firm that had previously invested in the founder Xiao Hong’s earlier startup and reinvested proceeds into Manus. The second round included participation from heavyweight investors such as Sequoia China, Tencent, ZhenFund, and individual investor Wang Huiwen, signaling strong confidence in Manus AI’s potential. These details were revealed by Xiao Hong, the founder and CEO.
