Manus, Round 2 :)
The first time I wrote about Manus, they still had a super long waitlist. Well, waitlist’s gone and Manus is dangling 1 000 bonus credits + 300 fresh credits every midnight for everyone.
You can test a real AI side‑kick today without opening your wallet.
TLDR
Manus is a cloud‑based AI assistant you chat with.
Type a task - “find broken links on my site,” “draft a 30‑day Instagram plan,” “compare my prices to competitors” - and it opens a virtual browser, clicks around, writes, or crunches data until the job’s done. In practice, that means quick site audits, social‑media calendars, draft emails, competitor snapshots, tidy spreadsheets and much more.
Quick setup (skip if you’ve already poked around)
-
Sign up → New Task. No waitlist, no credit card.
-
Look in the top‑right corner: you’ll see 1 000 “welcome” credits and 300 daily refresh credits.
-
Think “outcome,” not tech. Manus understands plain English. The more specific the outcome, the fewer credits it burns.

Little prompt tweaks that save credits & tears
|
Habit |
Why it helps |
|
Cap the length → “Max 50 words per item.” |
Fewer tokens = fewer credits. |
|
Number your asks → “Give me exactly five ideas.” |
Avoids a 3‑page brain dump you’ll never read. |
|
Attach small samples (one URL, tiny CSV) |
Manus focuses on your data, not the entire internet. |
|
Iterate, don’t restart |
Use the “Retry from step” button. Fixes typos without repaying the full credit bill. |
Pick one prompt and watch Manus grind through the grunt work. Then tell me what you automated - I’ll spend tomorrow’s free 300 credits testing your next idea. ☕️
