Manus shipped Meeting Minutes on January 12, a feature that records live conversations and spits out structured notes without requiring a stable internet connection. The tool is designed for in-person settings only, not Zoom calls.
The pitch: tap once to record, let the AI identify who's speaking, then use those notes as context to generate presentations or social media posts inside the same Manus session. According to the company's blog post, recording continues even when connectivity drops. You only need internet to start and to process the final transcript.
Some limitations worth noting. You can't pause and resume. Close your screen and the recording stops, though you can pick up where you left off. Recording is free, but the AI analysis that produces summaries and action items consumes credits based on your plan.
The launch comes less than two weeks after Meta finalized its acquisition of Manus for over $2 billion. The Singapore-based company hit $100 million in annual recurring revenue roughly eight months after its March 2025 debut, according to TechCrunch. Meta plans to operate Manus independently while integrating its agent technology into Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The Bottom Line: Meeting Minutes extends Manus from research and automation into physical meeting capture, though the credit-based pricing for analysis could add up for teams running multiple sessions daily.
