Welcome to the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, with me Dave Roberts. Today we are exploring yet another an exciting evolution in AI, this being the integration of Google DeepMind’s Veo 3 into the Manus AI ecosystem.

If you have been following the advancements in multi-modal artificial intelligence, you know Manus AI made headlines earlier this year with its autonomous decision-making and natural interaction capabilities.  Now, with Veo 3 in the mix, which is a powerful video generation model, Manus takes a major leap toward full sensory intelligence.

In this episode, I will discuss how this integration works, the real-world benefits it unlocks, and the jaw-dropping possibilities it creates for industries like film, gaming, robotics, and even remote work.

So, let’s start with a quick primer.  Veo 3 is DeepMind’s latest generative video model.  It creates highly realistic, coherent videos from text prompts, image sequences, or semantic instructions.  What makes it stand out from earlier versions, and even competitors, is its temporal consistency, physics-aware motion, and ability to maintain storylines over longer sequences.

We are not talking about short, blurry clips anymore.  Veo 3 can generate 4K-resolution videos at 30 FPS, with subjects and environments that remain consistent and realistic over time.  It understands camera angles, emotional cues, and even lighting changes.

In other words, Veo 3 does not just create video, it creates cinematic logic.  Now, Manus AI, as many of you know, is a cutting-edge agent architecture designed to simulate human-level reasoning, task execution, and conversational flow. Manus can plan, execute, and adjust its approach in real-time.  It is not just reactive, it is proactive, predictive, and increasingly self-directed.

What is different about Manus compared to most LLM agents is its emphasis on sensor fusion and environmental awareness.  It already interprets audio, documents, commands, and web content.  But until now, its visual understanding, especially dynamic visual understanding, was limited.

This is where Veo 3 changes the game.

So, how does one access this powerful new integration?  The integration of Veo 3 into Manus AI is primarily facilitated through the Manus platform itself.  Users interact with Manus AI, and Manus, in turn, leverages Veo 3's capabilities as its visual imagination.

For current Manus AI users, the integration is seamless.  When you prompt Manus with a request that requires visual generation or simulation, Manus intelligently routes that request to Veo 3.  This means you do not need to learn a new interface or switch between different tools.  Manus acts as the central orchestration, translating your needs into actionable prompts for Veo 3 and then interpreting the generated visual output back into a coherent response or action.

However, it is important to note the subscription requirements.  While Manus AI offers various plans, access to the advanced capabilities powered by Veo 3, particularly for high-resolution and longer-duration video generation, typically falls under a premium tier.  Based on recent information, access to Veo 3 and its tools is available through a Google AI Ultra subscription.

Manus itself has also recently launched paid plans.  It is crucial for users to check the latest subscription details on the official Manus AI and Google AI platforms to ensure they have the necessary access for Veo 3 integration.

Veo 3 is currently available on Manus AI to any of the paid subscriptions, be that Basic, Plus, or Pro members.  This tiered approach ensures that users who require the most sophisticated visual AI capabilities have access to them, while also supporting the continued development and maintenance of these cutting-edge technologies.

So how does Manus integrate Veo 3?

Through a multi-modal interface, Veo 3 acts as Manus’s AI imagination.  Manus can prompt Veo to generate scenes, simulate scenarios, or even analyse visual outcomes from hypothetical instructions.

For instance, if you ask Manus, “What would happen if we redesigned our office layout to reduce distractions?”, Manus can now generate a simulated walkthrough video, powered by Veo 3, showing how people might move, interact, and work in that new environment.  It is no longer just giving you a bulleted list, it is giving you a film preview of your future decision.

On the backend, this works through the Veo 3 API stream, interpreted and contextualised by Manus’s planner and reasoning modules. The two models collaborate, not just in serial, but in looping feedback.  Manus adjusts prompts, and Veo 3 generates new outputs, and the reasoning engine evaluates which versions align best with the user’s goals.

So, let’s talk about the benefits.

Architects and product designers can simulate real-time use of spaces and products. Say you want to know how a store layout affects customer flow?  Manus and Veo 3 can show you how this may look.

Imagine training materials generated on the fly.  A safety training video tailored to your specific factory layout.  A customer service simulation based on real-world scenarios.  It is personalised learning at a cinematic level.

Writers and filmmakers now have an AI collaborator, who can visually storyboard an idea in minutes.  You write the prompt, Manus refines it, Veo 3 creates the footage.  It has got to be the fastest pre-visualisation tool ever invented.

For robotics, Veo 3 helps Manus simulate how robots might move in new terrains or environments.  It adds a layer of video-based foresight to motion planning, which is incredibly valuable in logistics, agriculture, or defence.

So, where does this go next?

We are entering an era where AI agents like Manus do not just understand, they visualise, simulate, and empathise.  Soon, Manus won’t just write your presentation, it will create a video explainer for it, with branding, tone, and voice tailored to your audience.

Game studios might prototype storylines with Manus generating characters, while Veo 3 animates scenes in real time.  It is rapid concept testing on steroids.

And in telepresence, imagine a Manus-powered avatar guiding a remote team through a live Veo 3 simulation of a site inspection, with voice, visuals, and interactivity all baked in.  The line between physical and digital workplace? Completely blurred.

We are also seeing early experiments where Manus adapts Veo’s video outputs based on user emotional feedback.  Say the scene feels off, too dark, maybe too flat, Manus detects that, re-prompts Veo 3, and delivers an improved version instantly.

So, to wrap it up, the integration of Veo 3 into Manus AI is not just a technical upgrade, it is a real paradigm shift.

I believe that we are watching the birth of cognitive visual AI, where agents do not just talk or act, they see, create, and collaborate visually.

This opens up tremendous opportunities, and yes, some complex questions about creativity, authenticity, and ethics, but the potential is undeniable.

I will certainly be watching closely as this integration evolves.  If you are a leader in tech, design, or innovation, now is the time to start exploring how this kind of cognitive-video synthesis can empower your teams and future-proof your strategy.
