We designed Manus to be a general AI agent that works for anyone—not just developers or power users. Intuitive, multilingual, and accessible by design. Yash's work through "Bharat Builds with Manus" is one of the strongest proof points we've seen of that thesis in action. He brought Manus to communities across India that are rarely part of the AI conversation—students in government schools, first-generation learners, women in self-help groups, grassroots entrepreneurs—and showed them they could build with it. No technical background required. Just curiosity and a problem to solve. This is what building an accessible product unlocks. Not just adoption, but participation in shaping how AI moves forward globally. Proud of our Manus Fellow Yash Mukesh for making this happen!
In a few hours I board a flight to Geneva, to the United Nations Global Dialogue on AI Governance and the AI for Good Summit. And what I'm actually carrying with me is not a presentation. It's a hundred thousand voices from Bharat. Over the last few months, through Bharat Builds with Manus AI (an initiative I launched as a Manus AI fellow in India) we have introduced Agentic AI to students, young professionals, educators, entrepreneurs, women from self-help groups, and communities that are often left out of conversations about frontier technology. We started with a simple belief: access should not be the privilege of a few. Every person deserves the opportunity to understand, build, and benefit from AI. What surprised us most wasn't how much we taught. It was how much we learned. We heard thoughtful questions about AI hallucinations, data privacy, bias, jobs, trust, and human agency—not only from engineers or policymakers, but from people many would never expect to be part of this conversation. Women from Delhi's informal settlements, students from government schools, and first-generation learners challenged our assumptions and expanded our understanding of what responsible AI truly means. These are not isolated opinions. They are part of a growing collection of grassroots insights that we are taking to the global stage. Our goal is to ensure that as AI governance is shaped, the perspectives of the people who will live with these technologies every day are not left behind. Technology should not only be built for people. It must also be shaped by people. India has around 1 billion Internet users, access is rarely the real gap for the women in Delhi's settlements or the students in government schools. Confidence & Execution are. I really appreciate Manus AI team for making a powerful general AI agent, non-intimidating, intuitive, multilingual, and accessible, it transforms hesitation into confidence and ideas into execution. I am deeply grateful to Manus, not just for making this journey possible, but for believing that empowering communities with Agentic AI and listening to their aspirations are equally important. Geneva, here we come.
