I wanted to share something truly mind-blowing with the ProductHunt community. This project represents a significant milestone in AI development: I simply prompted Manus AI to create its own open-source alternative, and it built ANUS (Autonomous Networked Utility System) entirely from scratch. My role? Just writing the prompt and using Cursor to push to GitHub. That's it. Manus designed the architecture, wrote all the code, created documentation, even made the logo—100% AI work. While people are paying up to $20K for Manus invites, we're making this completely free and open-source. The project combines single and multi-agent capabilities with a comprehensive tool ecosystem and model flexibility. I'm especially grateful to @eugeneshilow for the brilliant idea! Would love to hear your thoughts on what this means for the future of AI and software development. Are we entering an era where humans are primarily prompt engineers?
