Why Manus Matters to Meta’s AI Gamble
-

Manus isn’t just another AI acquisition — it’s one of the few agent-based AI products proving it can scale and make money. Meta reportedly began talks after Manus’ revenue surged past $100 million annually, making it a compelling addition amid concerns over Meta’s $60 billion infrastructure spending spree.
Meta plans to keep Manus operating independently while integrating its AI agents into Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, where Meta AI already serves users. The move signals a shift from pure research bets toward deployable, revenue-generating AI tools embedded directly into consumer platforms.
