Can't spell Manus without anus.

What is it with AI companies and buttholes? https://velvetshark.com/ai-company-logos-that-look-like-butt...

That was a really good read.

Interesting perspective, but, as with most writing, it seems to say more about the author of the article than the actual subject. Yes, I do get that that butthole is a way to capture attention of the reader and even with knowledge it does not help that you really, really want to see it ( with one exception ) for the analogy to work. Even if it is just a device ( and it does not appear to be ), it feels forced.

With a bit of education one would know that manus is Latin for hand. That's where "manual" comes from.

And their logo is, lo and behold ... a hand!

So it is the Ancient Romans who were obsessed with butts. Got it.

but where has that hand BEEN? And we are back at -anus again.

So full of humility.

So what do they do?

Probably just another AI website generator, like v0 and lovable. Probably no difference.

Setting aside the veracity of the $100m claim: Manus is a spin out of a spin out, building on ~10 years of previous work. The “fastest company to 100m arr” has become a meme so it doesn’t deserve much scrutiny but it seems a somewhat tenuous claim in this case.

After 10 years of hard work, it was an "instant" success.

A service precariously sitting on top of a LLM that can change any minute now. This surely is future proof.

The thing about ARR numbers is that in most cases they didn't really recur, especially for an 8-month-old company. Also, I don't really care about these numbers anymore unless they share how much they spent on marketing.

nrhrjrjrjtntbt•20m ago

Yes if they are losing on unit economics can they make it up on scale (facetious saying but there may be truth to it for some AI startups)

koakuma-chan•35m ago

How much ARR openrouter has?

echelon•7m ago

I would wager much more.

Is this the capacity most people are using Manus in?
