Good for
- Gathering an early research overview
- Breaking a larger task into steps
- Drafting a first-pass report to review
Five safe steps
- Visit the official Manus site and check current access and plan details.
- Give a narrow, clearly bounded task with a defined output.
- Do not grant access to accounts, payments or private files.
- Review every source it lists and open the links yourself.
- Treat the output as a rough draft that needs human editing.
Starter prompt
Research [narrow question] using publicly available sources. Return a one-page summary with a source link for every claim, and clearly label anything uncertain.
Replace the bracketed parts with your own details. Leave out private information.
Cautions
- Agent tools can take wrong steps; keep tasks small and supervised.
- Never let an automated tool make purchases or send messages on your behalf.
