Thanks for highlighting this Todor,
I particularly liked playing around with Manus which I have found to be very impressive (even the lite version). If anyone has not already set up a demo to build an App or platform that would otherwise have been done in Excel, then I recommend playing around with it.
Given some recent discussions - is this an idea for an event? Develop a dashboard for different use cases (investment research, portfolio optimization, idea generation...etc) across different AI Agent platforms? Claude / Manus...etc.
Here is a very quick example of a demo on a dashboard which shows long-term capital market expectations for investors: https://capmarkdash-epfbzbb6.manus.space/?code=DQdCoGDWeN975jUMwwpFZc
This took 5 minutes to create - just imagine how many add-ons could be built here!?

Subject: The Top 100 Gen AI Consumer Apps - 6th Edition (a16z)
Release update from a16z posted this week:
The Top 100 Gen AI Consumer Apps
Key details*:
ChatGPT crossed 900M weekly users and still dwarfs every rival, but the gap is tightening - with Claude and Gemini growing paid subs over 200% last year.
The new list included "AI-enhanced" consumer apps for the first time, with CapCut, Canva, Notion, Grammarly, and others now slotting into the rankings.
The report found three distinct AI ecosystems forming: Western, Chinese, and Russian, with sanctions accelerating the split as local alternatives fill the gaps.
Agents are gaining ground, with Manus (#44) and (#47) Genspark making the cut, while OpenClaw is absent due to the report's time frame.
