Manus AI for Everybody
Manual work is dead. Manus is in. Join us in SF for an evening with Manus — the team building the first AI-native operating system for knowledge work.
Whether you’re a founder drowning in docs, an operator juggling back-office chaos, or a builder tired of reinventing the same workflows, this night is for you. We're bringing together sharp minds, demos, and an honest conversation about how the actual work gets done — and how AI might finally set it free.
This is a window into how work could feel radically different.
What to Expect
A keynote from Tao Zhang, the co-founder of Manus, on the future of work
A candid fireside chat on what “AI-native” actually means — and why it matters
A live demo, powered by your real use cases
Space to ask questions, swap stories, and connect with others redesigning the modern stack
Post-event mingling with snacks, drinks, and new collaborators
Whether you're new to Manus or already building on it, you’ll walk away with a clearer view of where your time really goes — and what’s now possible instead.
