Use case overview

A G2 reviewer uses Manus to scrape sites, read images and gather many sources into a summary in the background, but says credits run out fast.

Reported experience

  1. What they did

    A researcher at a large enterprise gives Manus a research question and lets it work in the background. It scrapes websites, opens and reads many sources, interprets images in them, and drafts a structured summary. It doesn't interrupt between subtasks or need real-time replies, so the reviewer works on other things meanwhile.

  2. How it went

    The reviewer says it saves time and produces a well-organised first draft, rating it 4 out of 5. Wide research tasks can interrupt it, and the reviewer calls it very expensive.

  3. Worth knowing

    The reviewer says only 1,000 credits are given at a time, which is not enough for heavy tasks, so budget for credit costs before running big research jobs.

Example prompts

Try with Manus
Research [topic or question] by gathering information from at least [number, e.g. 15] web sources, including pages with data in images or tables. Write a structured summary with headings and a source list with URLs. Stop when you have covered [specific subtopics], and note which sources were thin or conflicting.
