Another DeepSeek Moment for China? Manus AI Claims to Be Fully Autonomous

Not all breakthroughs in artificial intelligence are created equal. Some promise smarter chatbots, others faster automation, but every once in a while, something comes along that changes the conversation entirely.

This time, that something is called Manus, and if the claims are true, it could mark one of the biggest leaps in AI history.

Developed by the Chinese startup Butterfly Effect, Manus is described as the world’s first fully autonomous AI. Unlike ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, which require user prompts to operate, Manus reportedly goes beyond simple text generation—it thinks, plans, and executes tasks all on its own.

What kind of tasks? According to its creators, Manus can buy real estate, book vacations, and even develop video games, all without human intervention.

The question is: Can it really do all that?

What Makes Manus Different?

AI tools today are powerful, but they have limits. Most require constant human input and oversight. They can suggest ideas, generate text, or process data, but execution still depends on the user.

Manus, on the other hand, is being positioned as something more—a truly autonomous agent.

🚀 Beyond Text Generation – Manus doesn’t just suggest what to do; it follows through and completes the task.

🎮 Versatile Skillset – From buying property to developing video games, Manus is built for a wide range of industries.

🤖 A Step Toward AGI? – Some researchers believe this could be a preview of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)—AI that thinks and acts like a human.

Yichao Ji, co-founder and chief scientist of Manus AI, put it simply:

"Other AI stops at generating ideas—Manus delivers results."

That’s a bold claim. But does it hold up?

Early Reactions: Hype vs. Reality

Unsurprisingly, tech insiders have mixed reactions. Some are calling it revolutionary, while others are skeptical about the AI’s true capabilities.

💡 Tech researcher Dean Ball called Manus the “most sophisticated computer using AI.”

💡 Victor Mustar, head of product at AI platform Hugging Face, said it’s “mind-blowing” and “the most impressive AI tool I’ve ever tried.”

But not everyone is convinced. Some early users report that while Manus is impressive, it still struggles with accuracy and execution. There are complaints about:

❌ Factual errors – Some users found Manus making incorrect statements.

❌ Incomplete responses – It doesn’t always provide the full answer to a question.

❌ Hype-fueled exclusivity – Invitation codes are selling for thousands of pounds on Chinese marketplaces, raising concerns that marketing is outpacing the product’s actual performance.

So, is this true innovation or just brilliant PR? The truth likely lies somewhere in between.

What Comes Next?

For now, Manus remains invite-only, meaning most of the world can’t test it firsthand. But if its capabilities hold up, it could spark a new wave of AI autonomy that reshapes industries far beyond tech.

If an AI can truly plan and execute complex tasks independently, the implications are staggering. We’re talking about:

🏦 AI managing finances and making investment decisions

✈️ AI booking and optimizing travel itineraries in real-time

🏠 AI handling real estate transactions from search to purchase

🎮 AI developing entire games based on user preferences

Whether Manus is the real deal or just the next overhyped AI experiment remains to be seen. But one thing is clear—the race toward full AI autonomy is accelerating.

And if Manus is even halfway as good as its creators claim, the future of AI just got a lot more interesting. 🚀

How AI Is Already Transforming Real Estate

While Manus is making headlines, the AI revolution is already here in many industries. Today, powerful AI tools are enhancing workflows, automating tasks, and making professionals more efficient—especially in fields like real estate.

🔹 ChatGPT – Helps professionals generate property descriptions, respond to client inquiries instantly, and create persuasive sales scripts.

🔹 HeyGen – Uses AI to create engaging, personalized video content for listings and marketing.

🔹 Suno – Converts real estate listings into catchy, AI-generated songs to make property ads stand out.

These tools aren’t replacing professionals, they’re enhancing their capabilities, making them more effective and efficient.

The AI landscape is changing faster than ever. Whether or not Manus delivers on its bold claims, one thing is clear: AI is evolving rapidly, and those who embrace it will lead the future.

💡 Agents like Gary Giannoni are already leveraging AI in their business:

"I've been utilizing it. I sell a lot in Tarpon Landings where I live. I've got, I think, eight listings, million dollars plus in here, and what I'm doing is feeding it every bit of knowledge that I have about all of Tarpon Landings and the whole development and everything else. I'm really getting extremely knowledgeable. I've been utilizing that and showing that in listings."

"I also have done it for one nice listing I have that's like $1.8 million single-family home. I bounce off the differences. A lot of times, I have customers that are weighing between a single-family home and a condo. It gives me a lot of different ways to look at it and discussion points."
