Manus

Give an AI agent a bounded task, then check the result before using it or letting it change another app.

How can Manus help with a small set of signup notes?

Give Manus the goal of turning a short list of notes into a draft summary. Ask for a label beside each supplied ID, then compare the result with the original notes.

  1. Start with three invented notes
    On paper, make three fake signup IDs. Give one a request for a demo, another a pricing question and the third an unclear request. Leave all real accounts disconnected.
  2. Decide what a useful draft looks like
    Expect one row per ID, a suggested label and the short note it comes from. Leave the unclear one for a person to decide.
  3. Review and apply one change yourself
    Check that each ID appears once and the label matches what was said. Make any approved change in the pretend list. Keep messages and external actions out of the exercise.

What can Manus do when you connect another account?

A connector can let Manus use an outside app and can enable actions as well as reads. Check the exact account and access it requests. A project can reuse a connected account across tasks.

If you only want a draft, keep real write accounts disconnected. Review a proposed action with its input and destination before doing it. After an uncertain result, look at the destination before asking the agent to repeat the task. Manus documents removing a connector to clear its stored connection credentials.

What uses Manus credits?

Credits depend on the active work a task performs. A longer or more involved task can use more credits. A fixed number of credits per task is not documented.

In November 2026, Free listed 300 daily refresh credits for the eligible Lite model, with a 1,500 monthly limit on using those credits. Sign in each day to claim them and use them that day. Unused daily credits expire. Check the current plan rules for other credits and models. A published WebDev app has a separate usage bill for the work it does after deployment.

What should you save outside a Manus task?

Keep the original inputs and the reviewed result in a place you control. Manus documents downloadable output for supported task files. A workflow, a file and a deployed app have different recovery needs.

For an old task affected by Manus’s August 2026 account transition, its restoration instructions require a previously saved backup package. The company announced that it resumed independent operations in September. Check what your account can still recover.

If you rely on a deployed app, verify separately how to keep its editable code, saved records and connected accounts. A code copy can be useful without bringing every running service with it.
