Meta just acquired Manus AI for over $2 billion, and this isn’t just another AI acquisition. Manus doesn’t answer questions—it completes entire workflows from start to finish. Screen job candidates, build market research reports, analyze competitors, deliver finished work products. And here’s what almost nobody is talking about: this acquisition reveals a business model shift that separates people who get paid for time from people who get paid for deliverables.

In this video, I’m breaking down exactly what Manus AI does, why Meta moved this fast, and the workflow hidden in this shift that could completely change how solo creators compete with agencies.

The AI agent race is just beginning, and the people who figure out how to package autonomous agents into client-facing services are going to have an unfair advantage over everyone still selling hours.
