The trend among large model manufacturers is to make their own built-in versions of Agents.

You can see that ChatGPT’s chat already looks like an AI product from the previous era.

Only three years have passed.

ChatGPT Agent has the shadow of Jade Manus.

I remember that some time ago @manusai met and communicated with major foreign mainstream AI leaders and business owners.

I also remember that a certain big boss in Silicon Valley said that he was deeply attracted by Manus at the first sight.
