What to Expect
​It’s a hands-on, 4-hour workshop where you’ll build real stuff with AI tools provided on the day. We’ll guide you step-by-step.
​Here’s how it works:

​Problem Research
We’ll help you research using AI agents from 6 hot domains: FinTech, Health, InsurTech, Sustainability, Enterprise, and Education.

Map out your methodology
Use our guided instructions to build a clear, logical plan that actually solves something real.

Turn it into a winning plan
We will help you easily develop a development plan.

Prototype a working demo
We’ll show you how to build multiple quick working prototypes.

​Prizes
​Bring your A-game. We’re rewarding the most useful, well-structured projects:

​🥇 First: 1 month of Manus Pro
​🥈 Second: 1 month of Manus Plus
​🥉 Third: 1 month of Manus Basic

​Winners will be chosen on the day based on project clarity, usefulness, and execution.

​Note: Please bring your laptop!
​What is Manus?
​Manus is the world’s first general AI agent designed to turn your thoughts into action. More than just a chatbot, Manus autonomously executes complex tasks across your professional and personal life – whether it’s conducting deep market research, processing batches of files, planning custom travel, or analyzing data.
​It thinks independently, plans strategically, and leverages tools within its own environment – coding, browsing the web, controlling applications – to deliver complete outcomes, not just recommendations.
​You can hand off tasks to Manus, track progress in real time, and return to find the results ready – so you can focus on what truly matters.
​Why Manus?
​The name “Manus” is inspired by MIT’s motto Mens et Manus – “Mind and Hand.” It reflects the belief that knowledge must be applied to create real-world impact.
​That’s the promise of Manus AI: to extend your capabilities, amplify your output, and serve as the intelligent hand that brings your ideas to life.
