Demand for 'AI agents' on Google skyrockets 900% in a year

The interest in AI agents has seen a significant increase in 2025, as shown by a 900% rise in search activity for 'AI agents' on Google Trends. East Asia, particularly China, dominates the search activity, with the top five countries in the region showing the most interest. The rise in interest can be attributed to the novel Manus AI agent, developed in China, which is promising to disrupt the established dominance of Silicon Valley. Manus is unique in its ability to perform a variety of complex tasks with minimal input and oversight. However, the availability and capabilities of the product are still unknown, and there is uncertainty about the regulatory framework and impact on the workforce.
