Manus, the AI agent startup Meta acquired for $2 billion in late December 2025, announced its first major data partnership on January 13, 2026. The platform now integrates Similarweb’s web traffic and market analysis data directly into its autonomous AI agents.
The integration gives Manus users access to 12 months of historical traffic data — including unique visitors, bounce rates, traffic sources, and geographic breakdowns — without leaving the platform. Users can query the data through natural language prompts, and the AI automatically generates reports, dashboards, or slide decks from the results.
Similarweb’s data feeds into Manus across several categories: traffic metrics (total visits, unique visitors, pages per visit), ranking data (global, country, and industry positions), traffic source breakdowns (direct, search, social, referrals), and geographic distribution.
The pricing structure runs on Manus credits. Basic worldwide metrics cost 8 credits per query, while country-specific or channel breakdown data runs 56 credits. A 12-month unique visitor report for a single domain would cost 96 credits. Comparing mobile traffic sources for two websites over three months hits 336 credits.
Manus says it will soon support Similarweb API key integration, letting existing Similarweb subscribers bypass the credit system entirely.
The target users are founders validating markets, marketers analyzing competitors, SEO specialists hunting keyword opportunities, and investors evaluating company growth trajectories. The pitch: what previously required manual data pulls and hours of analysis now happens through a conversation with an AI agent.
For investors specifically, the 12-month historical traffic access could prove useful for tracking sustained growth patterns — a rough proxy for product-market fit that’s harder to fake than social media metrics.
This partnership arrives just weeks after Meta closed its Manus acquisition. China’s government noted on January 8, 2026 that the deal must comply with Chinese laws, given Manus’s origins in China before relocating headquarters to Singapore.
Meta reportedly plans to integrate Manus’s AI agent technology across its product suite. The Similarweb partnership signals Manus is continuing to build out its data capabilities even as integration discussions with its new parent company presumably continue.
All Manus users can access the Similarweb data immediately using existing credits. No separate subscription required.
