Chinese artificial intelligence startup Manus has launched a new text to video feature that allows users to create structured video stories within minutes using simple text prompts. The tool is available now to paid subscribers, and will be rolled out to a wider audience soon. Manus, a company that is known for its AI agent, which can perform complex tasks, rose to prominence shortly after its launch earlier this year. This was after DeepSeek, a company with an affordable AI model, made waves. Butterfly Effect, its parent company, attracted attention in April when it secured $75 million from Benchmark Capital, a rare US investment into a Chinese AI company amid rising geopolitical conflicts. Analysts say that as global tech firms race to market video generation, the emerging sector will transform industries from marketing to education to entertainment.[Manus]
