Enterprises control risk and ROI better than consumer deployments.
I argue to forget fully autonomous AI assistants for consumers anytime soon. Enterprises will adopt AI agents first because they can control deployment, manage risks, and ensure ROI. Leading consulting firms like Accenture and BCG are already rolling out task-specific AI solutions. If we are there, Google and OpenAI will likely dominate this space, not Manus with same-old same-old LLMs. AI success is based on application, not “Made in China” branding. The future of AI isn’t about flashy demos but about consistent, secure, and well-integrated solutions.
