What people previously said about Manus

“I stopped paying Manus because all my needs can already be done by Claude CoWork.”

“I'm honestly impressed they were able to manage this massive overhaul”

“Manus gave users roughly 10 days manually back up potentially years of projects, then permanently deleted the data!!!”

“it was hosted on TiDB cloud, using an AWS us-east-1 gateway endpoint. This was a manus-managed development database”

“Manus doesn’t restore third-party databases or databases stored on a cloud computer, as those are not included in the restoration package.”

“Which ai do u use while preparing for cfa to help u? (ChatGPT or Claude or Manus or Gemini or other)”

“Consequently, despite my sending screenshots demonstrating that the account data was backed up, Manus Support are unable to associate the backup data to the account, even though the email address is unchanged. 😵‍💫 What a mess Manus has created.”

“Manus is well documented that its code is from multiple open source donors from github its a fine tuned bits a that sold for 10s of millions if not 100s of millions to meta its now turning into a build stealing money printing machine”

“Manus makes more sense when the value comes from giving it a task and letting it work through multiple steps, while something like Gemini is easier to justify if you're going to use the wider ecosystem and want one general-purpose assistant.”

“Manus gets expensive you’ll run out of credits fast. GPT image generation is the best Gemini for video.”

“Manus is more interesting if your main reason for paying is the agent side of things. It can feel much more useful when you want to give it a task and have it actually work through multiple steps instead of just answering questions.”

“Manus is more “go do the thing,” Gemini Pro is a solid all-rounder (plus YT if you care), Codex is strong for code. SurfMind’s thing is you don’t have to marry just one.”

“Meanwhile, Manus is an AI agent I’ve been using a lot lately.”

“We finally got our service restored. Reach out to manus support on web and on x(twitter). They were most responsive although just retrying restore (worth 3GB) that failed at least 10 times finally worked and we seem to have what we backed up.”

“That makes sense. Everyone with Manus right now”

“Has anyone been able to successfully restore their Manus from backup?”

“He helped me transition my Manus website, and now I have much more control over it. Joe’s website is quietwork.ai”

“I have been using Manus for approximately 1½ years to develop internal software for my company. Although I have made significant progress, I still consider myself a novice when it comes to properly structuring projects, loading information, configuring agents, and making sure I’m using the platform the right way.”

“→ Use Manus AI to find state bar databases”

“For people who find manus useful will know that what they are working on is 100x or 1000x roi vs the cost. You can’t go to Lamborghini complaining any it costs more than Toyota and that both only have the same four wheels.”

“Must improve the token burning issue. You can't charge so much per month and have the tokens burn with just a few relatively simple tasks.”

“Back up your Manus data today before the delay (less than 12 hours from now)!”

“I'm sorry, who uses Manus? It shouldn't even be in your vocabulary, I ran away from that company two months into their debut. Is this even real life?!”

“isn't manus just dead slop?”

“manus is better”

“I think Manus accidentally nailed something the open source agent world struggles with: Normal people can actually use it.”

“For people who moved Manus work into Claude, what still needs another tool?”

“A self-hosted open-source Manus/Perplexity-style tool with research depth controls, PDF/PPT output, Next.js site generation, MCP support and no commercial agenda is still meaningfully different.”

“Is there any interest in a self hosted open source version of manus/perplexity?”
