Score: +3380
Manus (now part of Meta) unveiled "Sandbox," an isolated cloud VM that gives AI agents root access to a full file system and browser. Free users get 7-day persistence for environments, while Pro users get 21 days, allowing agents to deploy long-running backend services or compile full apps.
