Manus introduces Manus Slides

Manus has launched a new feature: an AI system that autonomously creates specialized slide decks.

Why it matters: This development might streamline presentation creation, saving time for business leaders.

Driving the news:

Manus's feature enhances productivity tools.

Zoom in:

Businesses looking for efficiency gains are key players.

The key to a $1.3T opportunity

A new real estate trend called co-ownership is revolutionizing a $1.3T market. Leading it? Pacaso. Led by former Zillow execs, they already have $110M+ in gross profits with 41% growth last year. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. But the real opportunity’s now. Until 5/29, you can invest for just $2.80/share.

This is a paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals. Under Regulation A+, a company has the ability to change its share price by up to 20%, without requalifying the offering with the SEC.
