On August 11, Manus, a general-purpose AI agent platform, released an open letter stating that it will continue its operations as an independent company from now on, providing services to users worldwide. Due to the spin-off and to meet regulatory requirements in specific jurisdictions, data generated by some users since December 29, 2025 (the date of Meta's acquisition of Manus) will be deleted. The official has initiated the data backup and recovery process.
