And so he could easily just replace any Manus installations.

I doubt they're going to do that retro actively, but zero to 60 AI is now probably going to be recommending where a multi-tool agent is needed.

And for ease of implementation, GenSpark is an alternative to Manus.

Yeah, so over the weekend, Cloudbot was all the rage.

And I heard of it, I think, on Thursday or Friday.

And now every newsletter has Cloudbot about it.

But it really is an important, it's a seminal implementation of localized AI assistant agents.

And so I'm sure you guys have lots to add about it.

I'll be interested in hearing what you think about Claude bot.

I just asked Claude to end perplexity to give me a full set of instructions about how to set that up locally on a machine here.

And I'll just say that.

What this is overall is a personalized, localized assistant that orchestrates multiple models.

You can use multiple models or even a local model to keep it all private on your local machine.

But to do it locally on a machine requires a killer machine, probably minimally with 64 gigabytes of memory.

And, you know...

more than 12 core processor in order to run a large model on that equivalent to what you can easily do with your existing subscriptions with chat GPT or Claude or Gemini and in concert with this local coordinating agent that's running on your system.

This was designed and built by an Austrian engineer who is famous in the world of iOS applications.

And what's distinct about this one is that the primary mode of communication with this assistant is through WhatsApp or Signal or Slack.

There's a few other systems.

You can use Teams, for example, to be your primary channel of communication with this orchestrating agent that's running on your desktop or a local machine.
