Manus New Features

Course Outline

You already use Manus. You run tasks, brief it properly, and you've watched it produce real deliverables rather than paragraphs about deliverables. You know the loop.

The product has moved a long way in a short time, and most of the change is not cosmetic. Manus can now run on your own computer with access to your local files, or on a persistent machine in the cloud that never turns off. It can capture your workflows as reusable Skills, connect to the tools your work already lives in, pull premium market data without a subscription, edit inside your Google files with precision, and hold context across scheduled runs instead of starting fresh every time.

This course covers ten of those features, one per chapter. Each chapter stands on its own, so you can take the whole course or go straight to the two features that solve a problem you have this week. Every chapter ends with you doing the thing on your own work, so you finish with the features actually in use rather than noted down for later.

What You'll Learn

My Computer and Cloud Computer — Running Manus on your own machine with local file access, and on a persistent cloud machine that stays awake

Skills — Capturing workflows you've already refined so Manus repeats them exactly, and scoping them to a project

Connectors and Data Sources — Attaching live tools to a project, plus SimilarWeb market intelligence built in with no subscription

Google Workspace Precision — Real editing inside your Docs, Sheets, Slides and Forms rather than only creating and reading files

Scheduled Tasks 2.0 — Runs that continue in the same task and carry context forward, and schedules that live inside the apps Manus builds

Slides, Meeting Minutes and Design View — Image-model decks and branded templates, in-person meeting notes that become deliverables, and an actual canvas for refining images
