Manus, a virus AI “Agent” platform of China Startup Butterfly Effect, has an unintended side effect. I started to increase the profile of another AI tool called using a browser.
The use of browsers, which allows you to access your website on an agency application that performs on behalf of users, experienced explosive growth last week. Co -producer Gregor Zunic told Techcrunch to the co -producer.
Zunic said through DM, “The last few days were really wild. “We are Github’s largest trend repository (github), and we’ve got all the downloads that actually convert it into a large number.”
Why rise? Posts on how to use the Manus Leverages browser have obtained more than 2.4 million views and hundreds of Roshares about the X. Browser. The use of Browser is one of the components used to run a variety of tasks, such as Manus clicking on the site menu and creating forms.
ZUNIC started a browser ancestor with Magnus Müller in ETH Zurich’s student project house accelerator last year. This pair thought that a web agent (agent that explores websites and web apps autonomously) will be “big things” in 2025.
ZUNIC said, “It was a challenge that started with casual brainstorming with a few lunch. “We collected MVP in four days and took the first place. There was an absolute rocket. ”
The Brower Use extracts the elements of the website (buttons, widgets, etc.) so that the AI model can interact more easily. This tool allows you to manage multiple browser tabs, set up tasks such as file storage and database tasks, and process mouse and keyboard input.
Use browser company The fee for the management plan is free and also offers a free version of its own hosted software. It is a version that flew on the day since Manus released.
Zunic said he and Magnus said they would “sell” to developers who chased the web agent’s gold rush.
Zunic said, “We wanted to create a basic class for everyone to build a browser agent. “In our hearts, there will be more agents on the web than humans until the end of this year.”
It may sound too optimistic, but some analysts predict that the extensive market of AI agents will grow in the next few months. According to research and markets, the division expects to cost $ 42 billion in 2029. Deloitte predicts that half of the company using AI will deploy AI agents by 2027.
Except for Manus Effect, the timing of browser use seems to be coincident.
