Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has acquired artificial intelligence startup Manus. The move is a sign of the company’s drive to expand its AI capabilities across all of Meta’s platforms.
Although the company is in financial trouble, the deal was reportedly worth more than $2 billion, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.
Singapore-based platform Manus introduced its first “general-purpose” AI agent earlier this year.
The company offers paid subscriptions that users can use for a variety of tasks, including research and coding.
In a statement, Meta said Manus is serving millions of users globally every day.
