Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
At Web Summit 2026, Manus AI co-founder and CPO Tao Zhang said the company needs fewer headcount-driven hires and more people capable of working alongside AI agents, describing a shift in the skills required of engineers rather than any halt to recruiting. Zhang made the remarks during his “The age of agents” session in Lisbon, scheduled for 6:35–6:55 p.m. local time on the 9th (3 a.m. KST on the 10th), according to the official agenda. The comments matter because they signal how AI-agent developers are redefining engineering roles as agentic tools take over more workplace tasks. What to watch next is whether Manus translates that philosophy into concrete hiring targets and how other AI startups adjust their own recruiting criteria.
