Meta Acquires Manus Triggering Customer Exodus

Meta agreed to buy Manus for a reported $2 billion at the end of last year, intending to scale the startup's subscription AI agents into its consumer and enterprise products. Despite Manus saying it has reached millions of paying customers and a revenue run rate above $125 million, several customers and consultants are abandoning the platform over data and trust concerns, highlighting challenges for Meta's enterprise AI strategy.
