AI startup Manus recently announced the launch of its new "text-to-video" feature, designed to provide users with a convenient experience of generating videos through simple text commands. This feature is currently available for抢先体验 by Basic, Plus, and Pro members. Manus stated on the social media platform X that users only need to input text commands, and their intelligent system can convert these commands into structured and coherent videos within a few minutes, showcasing its powerful capabilities in the AI video generation field.
The release of this new feature brings to mind Sora, which was previously released by OpenAI and also provides similar text-to-video conversion services. The use of Sora requires a paid account through ChatGPT, with costs as high as $200 per month (approximately RMB 1438). In contrast, Manus adopts a more flexible pricing strategy, dividing its membership service into three tiers: Basic, Plus, and Pro. The highest tier, Pro membership, costs $199 per month (approximately RMB 1431), comparable to OpenAI's pricing, but may differ in user experience and functionality.
Manus' goal is clearly to compete with OpenAI in the video generation field. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence today, the creation of video content is gradually transitioning from traditional methods to AI automation. Users hope to produce high-quality videos in a short period of time, and Manus' "text-to-video" feature is precisely designed to meet this demand. The company plans to expand this feature to all users in the future, further promoting the popularization of AI video creation.
Through this feature, Manus not only demonstrates its innovative capabilities in the AI field but also provides new tools for content creators, enabling them to create more efficiently. With increasing competition in the market, users will have more choices, which will undoubtedly promote the development of the entire industry.
