AI for Video: A Complete Guide to Intelligence in Video Products: From Real-Time Pipelines and Agents to Serving, Cost, Compliance, and Verticals
Manus AI shows what an autonomous agent can do end to end, and its limits show up in reliability and cost per task. This volume covers Manus AI among agent frameworks and products: primitives of the agent loop, memory and tools, sub-agent orchestration, and the cost of running agents in production. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
