What an incredible time at our Singapore meetup on April 13, 2025! Thanks to all 140 attendees who joined us and made the afternoon so special.

Our team was thrilled to share the latest developments in Manus' autonomous AI capabilities and our vision for human-AI collaboration. We walked through our development journey, from the early days of the Monica.im browser extension (which launched just one week before ChatGPT) to our current evolution as a general-purpose AI agent.

During the presentations, we explained our "Less Structure, More Intelligence" philosophy: how we allow our models to learn naturally rather than constraining them with rigid parameters. This approach has led to impressive emergent behaviors, like our agent teaching itself YouTube keyboard shortcuts!

We were also proud to highlight Manus's exceptional performance metrics, including completing GAIA benchmark tasks better and cheaper than previous state of the art results. Many attendees were interested to learn that our name comes from the Latin phrase "mens et manus" (mind and hands), reflecting our mission to be the hands that help users accomplish tasks.

The showcase of community projects truly blew us away. Seeing how you're all using Manus in such creative ways just three weeks after launch was inspiring. Special thanks to the brave creators who shared their stories on stage—your passion is what makes this community so amazing!

We loved the engaging conversations during our open dialogue session and appreciate all your thoughtful questions and valuable feedback. Your insights will help shape what comes next for Manus as we continue our rapid development pace. As we like to say, "Our future is coming in hours."

Hope you're enjoying your exclusive Singapore-themed Manus merchandise! Stay connected on Discord and keep tagging #ManusCommunity in your posts. We're already looking forward to our next meetup!
