That LEGO slide you're looking at?
I built an 8-page LEGO slide deck. With Manus. With one prompt.

Manus isn't a chatbot. It's an autonomous AI agent, which means you give it a goal and it goes to work on its own. Everything happens in the cloud, so you don't even need to keep your computer on. Once you start a task, Manus keeps working until it's done and then sends you a message with the results.
Think of it like handing a project to a really capable assistant and walking away.

๐ฅBuild full websites and web apps.
๐ฅCreate AI agents.
๐ฅGenerate presentations and slides.
๐ฅDo deep multi-source research.
๐ฅConnect to Telegram, Slack, and WhatsApp.
๐ฅWrite and run code.
It's one of my VERY favorite tools. I use it sparingly because it takes credits to do things, but when I need it, there's nothing quite like it.
๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐? Manus runs on a credit-based system with four tiers:
- Free at $0/month with 300 daily credits
- Standard at $20/month with 4,000 credits
- Customizable at $40/month with 8,000 credits
- Extended at $200/month with 40,000 credits
- Annual billing saves 17%
๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ - a single deep-research task can burn through 900 to 1,000+ credits, and Manus doesn't tell you the cost before you hit go.
๐ฒMy 8 LEGO slides cost me 555 credits.
๐ฒA 1 minute video I created was 6,561 (it was really good though!)
๐ฒThe app I built took about 6,500 credits (I used Claude to write it first)
๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ ๐๐ถ๐ฝ: Have Claude write the slide content first.
Pro tip 2: Break your project into smaller pieces so you can use your free 300 daily credits, or tell it to show you the first 5 slides and wait for your approval to proceed, and then tell it to proceed the next day with another set of slides. You HAVE TO be in Manus Lite for the 300 credits to be pulled first!

I inserted 5 pages of copy from a "history of trade shows" session. I uploaded it to Claude to create the copy for each slide. Then I went to Manus and used 1 prompt.
