first_img a16z General Partner David Haber: Long-cycle intelligent agents can charge based on results

David Haber, a general partner at a16z, stated that long-cycle intelligent agents can now progress towards goals across dozens of steps and various interaction methods over weeks to months. He noted that AI previously handled short tasks with clear boundaries, where customer service was implemented earlier due to verifiable results and edge cases manageable by humans; now, intelligent agents can guide insurance clients from the initial call to payout, mortgage clients from pre-approval to closing, and business leads from demonstration to signing, gaining returns based on revenue growth rather than just cost savings.He used the example of plaintiff lawyers preparing cases, stating that the process resembles a relay race, where value can easily be lost at handoff points. Potential clients often contact multiple law firms simultaneously, and slow responses or evaluations can lead to loss; after signing, evidence collection is limited by manpower, and firms may not follow up with witnesses who did not answer the fifth call, making it difficult to review low-value cases item by item. Missing bills or unexplained treatment gaps can also lower settlement amounts. Long-cycle intelligent agents can assess in real-time around the clock, utilizing sub-agents to advance evidence collection and client updates via phone, email, or text, while maintaining complete records from call logs to medical records.Haber proposed three commercialization paths: selling platforms to existing teams, taking over outsourced services, or vertically integrating as a full-stack service provider, such as purchasing debt portfolios and completing collections. He mentioned that most states in the U.S. prohibit non-lawyers from sharing attorney fees, so the plaintiff legal scenario needs to align pricing with settlement amounts but cannot directly share profits.

Xiao Hong, the founder of General Intelligence Manus, stated that preparations for a domestic version are underway

The founder of the general-purpose intelligent agent Manus, Xiao Hong, stated that when Manus was born, Codex and Claude Cowork had not yet appeared in the market, and the product positioning has always been a general-purpose intelligent agent. He likened Manus to a computer-selling business, believing that users may primarily purchase computers for work, but if they cannot watch videos or play games, the experience will be quite limited; therefore, it should not be confined to office tasks.Xiao Hong indicated that videos and games are important scenarios for unleashing creativity, which need to be perfected through the local client Manus Studio. The related videos for Cue are entirely produced by Manus Studio, without using video generation models; instead, the agent first writes the code, which is then converted into video. With the help of cloud computers, Manus can also create online games that support user participation with friends.In terms of infrastructure, Manus cloud computers can provide cloud-based Linux, Mac, and Windows environments. Xiao Hong stated that when the agent operates the computer in the cloud, it will not compete with the user for the local mouse cursor, and he anticipates that individuals will be able to control large-scale computing clusters in the future to satisfy curiosity and conduct experiments and explorations in fields such as mathematics and science. He also described Cue as having an independent phone number, email, payment capability, computer, and sufficient intelligence, and stated that if such agents could be regarded as humans, there might be more changes in upper-level interactions. Xiao Hong mentioned that building product experiences in an overseas open ecosystem is relatively easier, and Manus is actively preparing a domestic version.
