Meta (META) said on Monday that it will buy Manus—a Singapore-based AI startup specializing in general-purpose AI agents—to integrate advanced AI into consumer and business products.
The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, with Manus set to continue operating from Singapore.
Currently based in Singapore, Manus was originally founded in China by Butterfly Effect Technology before relocating its headquarters. The startup achieved a $125 million annual revenue run rate shortly after launching its subscription-based AI agent for tasks like research, coding, data analysis, resume screening, and stock analysis.
The acquisition aligns with Meta (META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s priority on AI infrastructure, data centers, and monetization beyond metaverse efforts. This marks the company’s fifth AI-related acquisition in 2025 and signals the company’s intensifying focus on agentic AI skillset development.
