"AI dealmaking isn't slowing down - and it's Meta's turn again. The social media giant is buying Manus, a Singapore-based artificial intelligence startup, the companies announced on Monday. Manus went viral in March when it previewed an AI agent that could autonomously perform tasks like screening résumés and stock analysis. Manus was created in China but relocated to Singapore in mid-2025. Meta paid more than $2 billion for Manus, the Wall Street Journal reported."
"Manus said in December that it had processed more than 147 trillion tokens of text and said its users were in the "millions." It also claimed to have crossed $100 million in annual recurring revenue, achieving both milestones eight months after launch."
""The purchase gives Meta a functioning business with paying customers, meaningful revenue and infrastructure already proven at scale," said Murthy Grandhi, company profiles analyst at research firm GlobalData, in a note."
