Stop prompting. Start delegating.

Meta's latest $2-billion-plus acquisition of Manus AI is proof that the chatbot era is ending and the era of AI agents is beginning.

Imagine an AI that doesn't just offer advice but actually handles your background tasks while you focus on what matters. Old AI: "Here is how to plan a trip ..." New AI, like Manus: "Your trip is planned, flights are compared and I've drafted the itinerary."

Meta is betting that the future of social media and business is autonomous, so if you don't want to be left behind, it's time to stop just chatting with AI.
