Meta just bought the AI startup everyone’s been whispering about - MANUS 👽
Meta has acquired Singapore-based AI agent maker Manus for over $2 billion — a bold move to shift from simple chatbots to autonomous agents that do work, not just talk. Manus hit ~$100 M ARR in under a year and powers agents that research, code, and automate tasks end-to-end. Meta plans to fold that tech into Meta AI and its apps, while cutting all Chinese ties and operating out of Singapore. This deal isn’t just about tech — it’s about owning the agent layer of the next AI stack.

Manus partners with Similarweb to power AI marketing insights.
The autonomous AI agent platform from Manus now integrates web traffic and engagement data from Similarweb, giving agents access to real market intelligence for tasks like competitor analysis, SEO insights, and data-backed marketing planning — reducing AI “hallucination” and grounding strategic outputs in trusted metrics.

Manus AI agents can now do digital market research with real data.
Through the Similarweb collaboration, Manus sis they offer users an option to gain direct access to global web traffic statistics — including unique visitors, channel breakdowns, and geographic trends — letting the AI generate analytics reports, dashboards, or slide decks via natural language prompts.

The Hidden Cost of AI Subscriptions (How to Decide What’s Actually Worth Paying For)

AI tools suck you in with prices that seem harmless. A few bucks here, a “starter” plan there, maybe a free trial to get your feet wet. At first, you think, “Hey, I can handle this.” Then you actually start using them.

And suddenly, your credits vanish.

You run into limits you never noticed before. Those features you thought you’d get? Turns out, they’re locked behind pricier plans. Before you know it, you’re juggling a pile of subscriptions—five, six, maybe even ten—all quietly charging your card every month.

This isn’t just you. This is what AI looks like right now.

If you’re a creator, marketer, or working on a small team, this gets even messier. Testing new tools is part of the job. You’re not just sticking to one app—you’re trying everything. Image generators, video tools, copywriting bots, ad creators, transcription, automation… Each one promises to save you time or spark some big idea.

But here’s the catch: most AI tools price things with credits, not the kind of usage that makes sense at a glance.
