This Saturday, The AI Collective hosted "Manus AI for Everybody", an event in collaboration with Manus AI, designed to jumpstart an accessible and honest discussion on the role of AI in the future of work and take the opportunity to showcase why Manus has become a leading name in the industry, thanks to its first AI-native operating system for knowledge work.
The event featured a keynote by Manus AI co-founder Tao Zhang and Parker Lyman (Chief of Staff at Manus). Zhang shared plenty of insights of how Manus AI's flagship product came to be, from the lessons they while building and sunsetting an AI browser, to drawing inspiration from the popular AI coding assistant Cursor. For his part, Parker Lyman talked about how trying Manus drove his decision to join the team. In addition to going into his own experience building and working with Manus, Lyman also showcased several use cases that back the idea that Manus really is for everybody.

Complementing the use cases highlighted during the keynote, the event also featured two live demos: one in which Manus AI helped a financial consultant research an unfamiliar industry and prepare a thoroughly researched, client-ready slide deck in under an hour, and another in which Manus transforms 10 weeks worth of course materials into a personalized study guide.
