On October 26, 2026, Manus co-founder Zhang Tao published the article "Transforming Manus with Manus: Practice and Reflections on AI-Native Organizational Transformation," reviewing the company's practice of transforming its organization with Agents while building Agent products. The article notes that engineers often hand the original text of Slack requests directly to a row of Codex/Manus Sessions, with one person running a dozen or more requests in parallel; the content unfolds along four lines: the Manus-mono unified entry point, product managers writing code and using videos as PRDs, the marketing team's digital colleagues, and per-capita AI spending of about $10,000, and it states that the human role is shifting from Human in the loop to Human on the loop, responsible for setting rules, watching key nodes, and being accountable for results. An October 27 report further introduced Manus-mono: rather than merging multiple repositories, it creates a unified entry point with an instruction manual for AI to read, enabling a single builder to complete frontend, backend, and mobile development with the same agent context, while approvals remain the responsibility of humans; each request goes from about 5 people plus 5 independent-context agents compressed to about 1 person plus 1 shared-context agent, and local verification goes from waiting 5–10 minutes to a few seconds.

In terms of results, each requirement went from about 5 people plus 5 independent-context agents compressed to about 1 person plus 1 shared-context agent; local verification went from waiting 5–10 minutes to a few seconds. The mobile team of 7 people supports 2 products and 4 apps, with progress basically in sync with the web version.
