Manus AI claims to be that general AI assistant which people are calling the &#8220;Next DeepSeek Moment&#8221; in the AI world. This is because it is developed by a Chinese startup, called Monica, and they say they are even better than OpenAI&#8217;s tools. Whether this is true or not can be checked when people test it, and here are some of those use cases!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10 Amazing Real Work Tasks Completed by Manus AI<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What sets Manus AI apart is that it doesn&#8217;t just provide recommendations, but can complete tasks on its own.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A general-purpose AI agent that interacts with its environment, gathers data, and uses it to complete tasks aligned with specific goals is widely considered the future of AI applications. Based on its demo, Manus can autonomously browse websites, utilize various tools, and showcase its workflow in real-time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to understand it is with examples, so here they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1) Stock Analysis in 1 Hour<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the official demo, one of the highlighted tasks is Stock Analysis. Such analysis requires days or even weeks to complete, but Manus did it in less than 1 hour. Here&#8217;s the complete process for Tesla Stock Analysis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Manus, the new AI product that everyone&#39;s talking about, is worth the hype.<br><br>This is the AI agent we were promised.<br>Deep Research+Operator+Computer Use+Lovable+memory.<br><br>Asked it to &quot;Do a professional analysis of Tesla stock &quot; and it did ~2wks of professional-level work in ~1hr! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qipMcWPIX6\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/qipMcWPIX6<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Deedy (@deedydas) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/deedydas\/status\/1898444603071795378?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">March 8, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the OpenAI&#8217;s o-series reasoning models, it did the planning on how it will complete the task. Then, it executed every step, like an OpenAI&#8217;s Operator AI Agent. Then, it developed a website like a coding AI assistant. This means, you don&#8217;t have to juggle through multiple AI tools; everything is in one place. You can check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/pljclduq.manus.space\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">dashboard here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2) Coding a Game<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Coding is the most common task that users like to test AI agents to see how well they can plan and code. Here is one such example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prompt:<\/strong> &#8220;code a threejs game where you control a plane&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Output: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Manus AI just killed vibe coding yesterday.<br><br>People can&#39;t believe how mind blowing this agentic AI is.<br><br>Unlocking new possibilities.<br><br>10 wild examples:<br><br>1. prompt: &quot;code a threejs game where you control a plane&quot;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BEwliwQ8EV\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/BEwliwQ8EV<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Min Choi (@minchoi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/minchoi\/status\/1898780175438942642?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">March 9, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It did a fantastic job!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3) The UI Shortcut<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In this demo, Manus was provided with a website. Based on the design and style of the website, it has to create icons that match the style. For example, they asked it to generate icons for the TechCrunch website, which they can use for their PowerPoint presentations:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1379\" height=\"557\" src=\"https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Capture-1.jpg\" alt=\"Manus AI creates icons\" class=\"wp-image-7195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Capture-1.jpg 1379w, https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Capture-1-768x310.jpg 768w, https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Capture-1-750x303.jpg 750w, https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Capture-1-1140x460.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1379px) 100vw, 1379px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>While they are not looking so great, all this is done with a single prompt and in a few minutes. So, at least small businesses can reduce graphic design costs with this AI agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4) Planning a Trip<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All the AI agents launched recently have focused on a specific use case: planning a trip. This is a great task for AI because it involves figuring out lots of things, looking for flights, to planning a complete itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The user asked Manus AI for a 2-month family trip in 4 countries with proper flight, accommodation, and food arrangements, as well as create a travel book: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">manus is the craziest AI agent!<br> <br>it was asked to: <br>\u2022 Plan 2-month family trip <br>\u2022 Australia \u2192 NZ \u2192 Argentina \u2192 Antarctica <br><br>watch it self-assign tasks, browse the web, research, and then creates a stunning itinerary with stays, budget &amp; a food guide!\ud83e\udd2f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DcGysCj7mV\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/DcGysCj7mV<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Lamar (@LamarDealMaker) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LamarDealMaker\/status\/1898454061277458498?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">March 8, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It browsed through many websites for research and finally generated a complete guide in just a few minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5) Lectures to Notes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Manus has multimodal capabilities: You can prompt it with images, video, and audio files as well. Here, it was given a 50-minute recording of the MIT OpenCourseWare and it had to generate lecture notes. for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It first transcribed the lecture with almost 95% accuracy and organized them into notes. But then, it was asked to design an engaging HTML-based interactive course presentation. And well, it excelled in that too:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1040\" height=\"834\" src=\"https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Capture2.jpg\" alt=\"Manus AI creating interactive websites\" class=\"wp-image-7196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Capture2.jpg 1040w, https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Capture2-768x616.jpg 768w, https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Capture2-750x601.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1040px) 100vw, 1040px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This is just a snapshot from the <a href=\"https:\/\/pages.manus.im\/?sId=FqeNfalZjnlLW4BIkrYITB&amp;filename=numerical_integration_course.mdx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">presentation<\/a>. It covers all the key concepts from the MIT OpenCourseWare lecture interactively and engagingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6) Conducting Research<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With a simple text prompt, the AI Agent can do research as well as generate code to validate results. In the end, it gives you a detailed report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the given prompt, Manus AI conducted online research, generated Python code, validated all results, and published a detailed report in 47 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prompt: <\/strong>&#8220;Calculate the optimal Hohmann transfer orbit for a spacecraft traveling from Earth to Mars, including the required delta-v (change in velocity) at each maneuver, considering the current positions of Earth and Mars in their orbits as of March 2025. Also, account for gravitational influences from the Sun and other planets.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Manus AI is freaking insane and I have not used anything like this before.<br><br>Disclaimer: I am not paid by Manus AI to write this, I just feel lucky to have gotten access.<br><br>For the given prompt, Manus AI conducted online research, generated Python code, validated all results, and\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8Q4L0DOOUv\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/8Q4L0DOOUv<\/a><\/p>&mdash; AshutoshShrivastava (@ai_for_success) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ai_for_success\/status\/1898393871698301208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">March 8, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For scientists and researchers, this can save them a lot of time. All they will require is proper prompting, and days of work can be done in minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7) Manage Your Business<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Manus AI was given last month&#8217;s sales data (in Excel format) of an Amazon store to analyze it thoroughly. It was also asked to create charts and graphs with specific, data-driven strategies to boost next month&#8217;s sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a few minutes, it did all the work:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"915\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Capture3.jpg\" alt=\"Manus AI creating charts\" class=\"wp-image-7197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Capture3.jpg 915w, https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Capture3-768x438.jpg 768w, https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Capture3-750x428.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 915px) 100vw, 915px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Instead of using multiple tools to generate charts and searching for growth strategies, everything was done with a single prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8) Creating Tweets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The user asked Manus AI to create 4 weeks of content for his Twitter\/X account about a specific topic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I just created 4 weeks on content in 2 minutes with Manus! <br><br>This is the closest I&#39;ve felt to AGI. <br><br>Manus creates separate docus with each \ud835\udd4f post\/thread saved in as drafts. <br><br>Final step: copy over to Typefully or any post scheduler and automate your social media growth. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/z00m388yU1\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/z00m388yU1<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Clintin Lyle Kruger (@Lyle_AI) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Lyle_AI\/status\/1898538952186851663?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">March 9, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part is that it also recommended the best time to post them as well as hashtags to be included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9) Creating Animation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another cool test users do with AI agent is for creating Animations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prompt: <\/strong>&#8220;Create an amazing animation using p5.js&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Output: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Manus AI is really strong.

Then, a website with lots of JavaScript animation is something that AI agents can easily do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the prompt given to Manus: &#8220;I am a middle school physics teacher preparing to teach the law of conservation of momentum. Could you create a series of clear and accurate demonstration animations and organize them into a simple presentation HTML?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This not only required the AI to research all the key points for this lesson, but also generate animations in an HTML format. It gave us all the files for such an interactive website:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Sequence-02.gif\" alt=\"Manus AI Animations\" class=\"wp-image-7198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Sequence-02.gif 810w, https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Sequence-02-768x512.gif 768w, https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Sequence-02-750x500.gif 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Each animation includes interactive controls where students can adjust parameters like mass, velocity, and other variables to see how they affect momentum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you can imagine it, Manus AI can make it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On their website, Manus has showcased how it has outperformed leading AI models from OpenAI&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/chatgpt-deep-research-use-cases\/\">Deep Research<\/a> on the GAIA benchmark.
