In under an hour, you’ll go from “What is Manus?” to producing real artifacts. You’ll see Manus plan tasks, browse like a human, log into accounts (with permission), run wide research in parallel, and hand back polished outputs you can share with stakeholders.

Manus New Features

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

Working in Manus as a Team

You already know Manus. You've run tasks, seen it produce real deliverables, and you know it works less like a chatbot and more like a capable coworker. Now your organisation has put you on a Team Plan, and a layer of new capability has appeared around the Manus you know: shared projects your whole team works inside, skills that make one person's best workflow everyone's standard, real-time collaboration inside tasks, and internal tools only your team can reach. Your tasks stay private, your credits come from a shared pool, and the features you've refined for yourself can now compound across the whole team. This course shows you how to actually use all of it. Six short chapters take you from checking you're in the right workspace to publishing live internal tools for your team, with real submissions along the way so you finish having genuinely worked as a team in Manus, not just watched someone else do it. What You'll Learn The Team Layer — What changes on a team plan, what stays private, and exactly what admins can and can't see Sharing & Collaboration — Working in the same task live with teammates, sharing finished work for viewing, and bringing in free guests Shared Projects — Building one project with your team's context so every member gets usable output from their first prompt Team Skills — Sharing your refined workflows to the team library, and what the lock on an enforced skill means Production Outputs — Publishing dashboards, tools, and deliverables with team-only access, kept live and updatable

Manus Team Plan for Admins

Your team is already getting value from Manus, or you've decided it's time they did. Either way, someone has to make the call on the Team Plan, set the workspace up properly, and run it well. That someone is you. The Team Plan changes three things about how your team uses Manus: how you pay (one plan, pooled credits), how the work flows (shared projects, skills, and connectors that compound across the team), and how much control you have (roles, usage analytics, sharing policies, audit logs). This course takes you through all of it in four short chapters: what the Team Plan gives you, setting up your workspace, loading it with your team's tools, and running it day to day. By the end, you'll have a workspace that's configured properly, governed sensibly, and ready for your team. What You'll Learn The Team Plan Offering — Pooled credits, add-ons, free guest seats, plan comparison, and Manus' security certifications Workspace Setup — Creating the team, inviting members, the five roles, SSO and SCIM, and migrating personal data into the team Provisioning Capability — Publishing shared connectors, sharing and enforcing team skills, and enabling cloud computers with spending limits Running the Workspace — Usage analytics with CSV export, billing, per-resource sharing ceilings, and the audit trail
