The $2.5 Billion Multi-Agent Orchestrator

Published: December 31, 2025

The Architecture of Action

Large Language Models excel at generating text but cannot act. Ask an LLM to book a flight and it provides instructions. Ask a Large Action Model and it books the flight.

Manus operates on a Computer Use framework allowing AI agents to interact with interfaces directly. The agent sees screens, clicks buttons, types text, and navigates applications exactly as a human would. This transforms AI from passive advisor into active operator.

The Orchestration Layer

Manus achieves autonomy through a three module architecture.

The Planner Agent functions as strategist. It decomposes requests into subtasks, sequences dependencies, and establishes success criteria.

The Execution Agent carries out the plan by invoking tools, interacting with browsers, databases, and APIs. It performs the actual work of each subtask.

The Verification Agent provides quality control, reviewing outcomes and prompting corrections when results fall short.

The system executes one action per iteration, awaiting results before proceeding. This prevents runaway sequences and enables monitoring.

The Fulfillment Gap

Many businesses have strong AI search visibility but lack machine accessible fulfillment. They appear in ChatGPT recommendations, yet when an agent attempts to book, it hits a dead end: phone calls required, no API access, human intervention mandatory.

In the agentic era, visibility without executability equals missed revenue. AI agents will route users to competitors offering frictionless automated booking.

Sovereign Execution

Meta plans to integrate Manus across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The 100 person team, led by CEO Xiao Hong reporting to Meta COO Javier Olivan, continues operating from Singapore. This establishes the city state as neutral territory for multi agent orchestration infrastructure.

For service businesses, the imperative is clear: audit your digital infrastructure for agent accessibility. Can AI navigate your booking flow without human assistance? The businesses that answer yes capture the agentic economy.
