THE BIG IDEA

Is China winning the AI race?

Manus AI is China’s latest entry into the race for autonomous AI agents, and it’s got people talking. Unlike typical AI assistants that need constant prompting, Manus runs in the background, handling complex tasks—like analyzing stock trends or ranking job candidates—without waiting for instructions. It’s built on a multi-agent system that breaks down big problems into smaller tasks, then executes them asynchronously in the cloud. In theory, it’s a step toward AI that works like an actual assistant rather than a glorified autocomplete.

But does it live up to the hype? Early tests show promise, but Manus has already stumbled—fabricating data in financial reports and lifting text directly from existing websites. That raises big questions about trust and oversight, especially as China pushes to make Manus a major player in its AI ecosystem.

If it works as intended, it could be a glimpse into the future of fully autonomous AI agents. If not, well… at least it’ll make for some interesting case studies on what happens when AI gets too independent.

TRENDING DISCUSSIONS

Are software builders going extinct?

AI and no-code tools mean anyone can build something in minutes, so Alex, founder of Questflow, kicked off a debate: Does software still hold value, or is the real challenge everything that comes after?

Some takes from the discussion:

💬 Nika: If an app takes ten minutes to build instead of months, of course, it’s worth less. But now the real cost is in marketing, customer support, and actually getting people to use it.

💬 Alan Rivera: No-code tools are great, but they’re not free. You’re swapping dev costs for a bunch of SaaS subscriptions that add up fast. Cheap at first, but not as cheap as it looks.

💬 Hussein: “SaaS tools feel like magic at first, then you check your billing statement and realize you’re basically funding their Series A.”

So, is software turning into a commodity, or is building just the easy part now?
