London – Manus AI, a leading general artificial intelligence agent, is set to host an "AI Engine x Manus AI Vibe Hack" event in London on Tuesday, August 5, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM GMT+1. The three-hour hackathon, held at the London Business School - North Building, aims to empower participants to build practical, AI-driven tools using Manus AI's autonomous capabilities.
The event, as announced by Manus AI on social media, encourages attendees to "make something that actually helps you out," ranging from "serious research" and "marketing campaigns" to "slide decks" and "a working web app in five minutes." The tweet emphasizes the potential for participants to create "something weirdly useful (or your next startup) with Manus!"
Manus AI, launched in early 2025, has garnered attention as a general AI agent capable of bridging "mind and action" by executing complex tasks autonomously. It excels at turning ideas into actions, leveraging its own environment for coding, web navigation, and application control to deliver complete results rather than just suggestions. This functionality positions Manus AI as a powerful tool for "vibe coding," a practice where developers describe problems to an AI and use the generated code, refining and testing the output.
The "Vibe Hack" event underscores Manus AI's commitment to fostering a developer community and showcasing the practical applications of its technology. Participants can expect a collaborative environment with food, drinks, and networking opportunities, alongside prizes for the best use of Manus AI. The objective is for attendees to "walk away with a tool that's useful to you beyond the evening."
This hackathon follows Manus AI's recent advancements, including a $75 million funding round and the introduction of features like "Wide Research" for large-scale information gathering. By providing a platform for hands-on creation, Manus AI aims to accelerate innovation and demonstrate the real-world utility of its autonomous AI agent in diverse professional and personal contexts.
