“Remember they tried to buy Manus? And note that Muse Spark and the meta AI platform products clearly seem to prioritize web search, computer/browser use, and vision/language tasks over coding, which is something that had to bake for a long time.”
“Since then further developments and improvements have been deployed via the Manus agent. If Manus goes away for some reason I'm prepared to use another agent as I've thoroughly documented my site via skills etc. In short, you can't blame the tool if you don't use it properly or plan poorly.”
“u/HW_ice I have enjoyed Manus since June but just spent the last hour and a half with "customer support" and received zero support and am infuriated. These "support" agents are clueless.”
“I like(d) Manus a lot but I´ve to quit it - 4 days blocked since lacking credits (and yes, it´s buring much quicker now), not able to buy new ones and support is not existing. A pitty.”
“It’s one of the rare tools that genuinely feels like "research-grade" AI—testing it gave me the exact same feeling as trying Manus for the first time. Instead of keeping a model this good”
“Every email with Manus is just another AI response asking practically the same question, I finally answer the questions in extreme detail than I am informed it is a complex matter, then no further reply. Then HW-ice reaches out on here and it just seems like more questions with no resolution, it seems intentionally deceiving at this point.”
“Good contracts for every feature including master files for all feature ownership/boundaries (indexed) in the repository, and strategic use of project shared files in Manus project. Use GitHub/notion/linear connectors and find a workflow/filing/housekeeping system that works for you”
“yeah same but now manus even failed to complete my task that i just mentioned as well, completely cooked - everyone of us power uses getting burned will never go back again as soon as we solve this for ourselves with other tools, what a complete clown fiesta”
“I don’t even use manus, nor was I replying to you. But all these people whining about it are ridiculous. Why doesn’t NO one backup their shjt on GitHub?”
“The "support" messaging bubble, I did everything they asked me to do. I provided a video showing them that the file Manus sent me is showing a failed error message, I showed them that I got a confirmation email that I bought a domain with Manus, and yet, each support member, from Ram, to Raam, Tracy, Angel, continued to tell me to restore my account, "I CAN'T RESTORE MY ACCOUNT, HERE IS THE PROOF THAT THE RESTORE FILE ISN'T WORKING, I JUST WANT THE DOMAIN TO BE ACCESSIBLE, I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE" and these idiots closed the conversation.”
“Across different projects, different tasks, Manus is sooooo slow at performing tasks, I am using Manus 1.6, not max or lite, but it is painfully slow.”
“Hail the death of Manus, this has been a self inflicted death blow. They never appreciated their customers who was very excited and loyal until we all got screwed by Manus with no KY”
“I’m on gpt, Claude and manus and use each for a specific use case with manus being the most expensive of the three at this point. Depending on how things are going forward I might just upgrade the others to the higher plans or switch to perplexity”
“I got several emails and a time I would open manus the alert banner would pop up about to backup your work. Not sure how this was even possible given as much as they would alert users in backing up your work”
“Manus did me wrong too. Their auto-restoration process corrupted multiple projects I built. Yes, for those who will say, "You should've used Githut," my response is, yes, sure, and I did/do.”
“Support has repeatedly said that the case was being referred to a specialist, but no specialist has contacted me. Instead, I have been passed between agents, asked for the same evidence several times, asked for an invoice despite never purchasing the subscription, and had conversations paused or closed without a decision.”
“Manus is a tool. How you use it is on the user, like most of AI. Building shiny objects for people on a tool that doesn’t provide business continuity should have been a flag when taking on the work.”
“None of that excuses Manus if they handled the shutdown, backups, communication, or support negligently. But I don’t think “many European companies were closed for August” is a particularly strong explanation for missing a window involving business-critical infrastructure.”
