Manus AI

What if an AI hackathon started with real-world problems? Not slides, not theory, not demos? We put that idea into the Manus AI AI for All Create-a-thon, co-hosted with Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and Ministry of Digital Development and Information, which was successfully held last Saturday at Nanyang Technological University Singapore. The country-wide hackathon paired 9 local SMEs and freelancers with university and polytechnic students to build practical hands-on AI solutions on the Manus platform. The results: 1,100+ sign-ups from 14+ universities and polytechnics 15 problem statements from 9 local SMEs and freelancers 180 selected students shipped 53 solutions in 4 hours Huge thanks to the leaders who joined us from across Singapore’s tech ecosystem — including Tian Chong Ng (Singtel), Mark LIM CL (Temasek), Ying PANG (Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Min Yan B. (Heicoders Academy), Joshua Wong (Hypotenuse AI) and to Jasmin Lau, Minister of State (MDDI & MOE), our Guest of Honor. As one partner put it: “Students didn’t just give us answers, they helped us see the problem differently.” And that’s the real shift. AI can give answers. The edge now is asking the right questions and finding the right problems to solve. Those problems don’t live in classrooms. They live in the market. If you’re a business looking to transform how you work with AI, talk to us! We’d love to explore real problems together. 👇 Look in the comments for the winning teams’ solutions.

AI agents are only powerful when people know how to use them. Education is the critical last mile. The partnership between Manus AI and Heicoders Academy was designed to close this gap, and the results in just a few months have been incredible. Here’s a look at the momentum: 🎓 1,600+ Heicoders students have integrated Manus AI into their learning. 🏢 50+ corporate teams from Marriott, Changi Airport Group and more have experienced it through hands-on workshops. 🌐 700+ people joined our live webinar to see how AI agents are used in practice. But the real magic is seeing what the community builds. Students are turning ideas into working solutions: - ⁠ Kim Wai built an interactive HR compliance game to move learning beyond theory. - Wei Sin Tok created a geo-economic risk forecasting dashboard for regional analysis. - Anthony Hay developed an autonomous hiking route generator for all 21 hiking trails in Singapore. This is what it’s all about: moving from learning to creation. Huge thank you to the entire Heicoders Academy team for their vision and dedication in making this happen. It was great discussing the future of AI in our fireside chat. Excited to see what this community builds next.
