Meta just acquired an AI company for billions of dollars.
00:00:03.600
The reason? It doesn't just give you answers, it actually does the work for you.
00:00:08.000
The tool is Manus AI. This company went from zero to $100 million in revenue in just eight
00:00:13.940
months, the fastest any startup has ever done. I've been obsessively testing AI tools for years,
00:00:20.160
and this one is different from anything I've ever seen. My whole team considers it a non-negotiable,
00:00:25.680
and I truly believe you should too. So in this video, I'm going to walk you through seven use
00:00:29.980
cases that will absolutely blow your mind. Tasks that used to take hours or cost thousands of
00:00:34.980
dollars now done in minutes. From building websites and apps without writing a single
00:00:38.820
line of code, to never running out of content ideas ever again, to how to spy on your competitors
00:00:44.000
and how to recover revenue that you thought was gone. And at the end, I'm going to tell you about
00:00:48.060
a feature within Manus that nobody's talking about that'll change your whole experience.
00:00:52.120
Starting with what makes Manus completely different
00:01:04.040
you chat with it and then it gives you a response.
00:01:06.600
It tells you what to do once you give it a chat prompt.
00:01:11.780
I know this sounds crazy, but it will open up tabs.
00:01:17.180
It'll send emails, post on Slack, listen to the replies.
00:01:26.660
it never calls in sick and it costs you $39 a month.
00:01:38.640
there's a tendency for you to want to leave Manus
00:01:45.280
and have the tool do whatever you're about to do next.
00:01:50.080
to do all your work before the AI and other people do it to you.
00:01:59.460
Use case number one, a $10,000 website in minutes.
00:02:06.940
you had to find somebody who was like an agency or freelancer.
00:02:10.980
I mean, most people spent $3,000, $5,000, $10,000 on a website
00:02:23.780
The other day, my friend Stephanie was with us in Mexico.
00:02:26.260
I was explaining to her kind of the cool new things
00:02:33.580
she left and built a new website she'd been putting off,
00:02:36.960
a new registration page to help her sell her processes.
00:02:48.640
First, you just got to go to manis.im and create an account.
00:02:52.080
The second thing is we need to select the build website feature.
00:02:57.440
So here's a pro tip though, is that I use voice to text.
00:03:02.600
So I'll say, build me a website for my landscaping business in Austin, Texas.
00:03:07.480
I need a homepage, a service page, about page, and a contact form.
00:03:12.840
Make it modern and clean, green and white colors.
00:03:15.840
Use the URL below as a reference for look and feel.
00:03:19.260
Ask me questions if anything is unclear before you start.
00:03:22.260
Then I'll just give it the URL for the reference website.
00:03:36.600
So I might say something like, oh, that looks cool,
00:03:39.000
but let's make the design feel more minimalistic and modern.
00:03:42.440
We might say reduce the amount of text on the homepage
00:03:47.180
And then we hit enter and then poof, it's done.
00:03:56.480
just ask it and it'll walk you through the steps.
00:04:00.300
Manual, this would have took you two to four weeks
00:04:05.960
With Manus, that's less than 20 minutes worth of work
00:04:13.480
But here's where it gets even freaking crazier.
00:04:20.420
Use case number two, your first app and no developer needed.
00:04:30.400
You have an idea, you think I need to find a developer,
00:04:50.560
months of development, bugs, delays, scope creep.
00:04:54.040
Most people honestly just give up before it ever gets built
00:05:03.420
And we spent months and almost a quarter million dollars
00:05:12.540
Then we found out there was features that we build that nobody used.
00:05:15.540
I personally watch founders in my life, because I'm a software guy,
00:05:19.560
burn through buckets of cash, hiring developers and interface designers
00:05:24.500
to build features and products that nobody wants.
00:05:27.320
And now you can take what used to take months and get the full app,
00:05:31.800
the full thing built using these AI agents in less time than it would take you to eat lunch.
00:05:40.980
We wanna talk about who's gonna be the customer,
00:05:46.900
what information is the app gonna give it back?
00:05:51.400
We select develop apps and then you give it your prompt.
00:05:57.400
build me a client intake app for my consulting business.
00:06:09.360
if anything's unclear before you start the crazy part is you can include any drawings that you
00:06:13.760
might have drew in the planning phase you could take screenshots of existing apps and you can give
00:06:17.920
it all that as attachment so now you just wait till it's done and relax maybe go get a coffee
00:06:22.960
and come back while it's doing its work and once we come back we just test it and we give it some
00:06:27.360
feedback it's got everything you asked for the questionnaire the project status all of it it'll
00:06:32.160
design things that you didn't even know you should have in there the coolest part is manis will now
00:06:36.320
give you a deployment link that you can share and connect to any domain that means you can share it
00:06:40.320
with your co-workers you can share with a client to test it out and get even more feedback the fun
00:06:44.640
part for me is i use it to build disposable apps things that i might use for a couple days or a
00:06:49.120
week and then it serves the project's purpose and then i just get rid of it because it was worth the
00:06:53.200
time and cost to develop it to use it for that week with my team and then i don't need anymore
00:06:57.440
in the past manually we're talking two to six months if it ever shipped costing you easily
00:07:02.240
10 to $50,000. And with Manus, under an hour, and it'll save you 10 to $50,000. Is that not a good
00:07:08.660
deal? And look, if you're thinking, I need to start using AI in my business, but you don't
00:07:13.740
know where to start, I have a playbook and I call it the AI business cheat sheet. It's got everything.
00:07:18.260
It shows you how to turn your whole team into AI power users so they can do 10x more, 10x better,
00:07:24.560
10x faster. It even includes the full templated prompts so that they can learn how to use AI best
00:07:44.020
and they were willing to give me a thousand free credits
00:07:54.160
Use case number three, infinite content machine.
00:07:56.680
before without a tool like this we had to sit down stare at a blank screen spend hours brainstorming
00:08:05.160
maybe you'd sit down and write out a week of ideas next week same struggle do it again the
00:08:10.820
worst part is you're inconsistent not only in the work but in the ideas because the process was so
00:08:15.440
freaking exhausting with manis one prompt you get a full 30-day calendar built from what's actually
00:08:21.560
working in your space. So here's how we do this. So now in Manus, for this one, let's select wide
00:08:26.960
research feature. And now you want to give it a prompt. So for example, you might say, I run a
00:08:31.200
personal training business. I want to target busy professionals. Research the top 20 fitness creators
00:08:36.320
on Instagram and YouTube. Find the posts and videos that significantly outperform their average
00:08:41.540
and use those patterns to build me a 30-day content calendar for Instagram and LinkedIn.
00:08:46.460
in. Include the post ideas, the hooks, the captions, and best posting times. Focus on weight loss,
00:08:52.580
meal prep, and home workouts. The key is the prompt. See what I did there? I told it to go
00:08:58.180
to the internet, do the research, and find what's called outliers, where things performed higher.
00:09:03.700
Use that as an input. Don't copy it, but be inspired by it, and then have Manus create your
00:09:09.300
content outline. It talks about the platform that you want to post on, the content type, the hook,
00:09:13.340
the caption, even the CTA. Now you have 30 days of ideation done, all pre-validated. Manually,
00:09:20.340
this would have stressed you the freak out. It would have took you 12 to 15 hours every month.
00:09:24.680
Now with Manus, we're talking 15 minutes of your time. The rest is AI. Now here's where it gets
00:09:30.260
really freaking interesting for my fellow business owners. Manus will help you know exactly what your
00:09:35.100
competitors are doing before they even do it. Which brings us to use case number four,
00:09:39.060
spy on your competitors in the past this process you had to find mentions of their competitors
00:09:45.480
and then people would clip it and they put it in a binder and they'd read it or use social media
00:09:49.520
tools to monitor and bring it to you same thing it was a messy document it didn't make any sense
00:09:54.960
and it wasn't structured kind of reminds me of this quote by Andy Grove who is the founder and
00:09:59.160
CEO of Intel and he used to say this mantra all the time which is only the paranoid survive see
00:10:05.100
Intel didn't stay on top because they were the nicest. They knew what their competition was
00:10:10.440
doing before the competition even knew. How? Well, they would tell their portfolio managers.
00:10:15.340
If you aren't tracking your competitors' pricing, their features, every week you're walking across
00:10:20.340
a highway with a blindfold on. The difference now, it takes one prompt to your AI agent and you're
00:10:26.140
done. So let's look on how we actually do it. First off, we want to go into Manus and we want
00:10:30.100
to choose the feature wide research then again we give it the prompt for example using the same
00:10:35.840
five competitors from before that was our first project we want to pull their pricing their
00:10:40.400
positioning we want to take their customer reviews their social media strategy their ad campaigns and
00:10:45.660
their website structure i know it doesn't feel fair but who cares and just ask it deliver me a
00:10:51.120
comparison spreadsheet and sections with the top five opportunities where my business can
00:10:55.560
differentiate. Now you watch it. It's kind of crazy. It opens up each website. It scrapes the
00:11:00.920
data. It checks for reviews. It pulls social content. It even scans ad libraries. It finds
00:11:06.540
information and shows you what it's doing and things you didn't even know was available. Now
00:11:11.520
you've got a spreadsheet. So then sort the spreadsheet and use the differentiating
00:11:15.140
opportunities. Now the next step is to tell it, put the top five differentiating opportunities
00:11:32.560
So now you know what your competitors are doing,
00:11:34.980
even things that they don't know what they're doing,
00:11:38.400
that I know every entrepreneur or business owner
00:11:48.060
hire the best while you sleep i don't know how you hire but most people they have an open role
00:11:55.200
they know they need to hire probably too late they post the job once they finally spec it out
00:11:59.440
they get flooded with a bunch of resumes with people that are desperate what they may not
00:12:04.120
realize is it took them 15 to 25 hours to process all information to finally circle back with the
00:12:09.980
people and the truth is the best candidates they're already gone with manis it builds the
00:12:14.840
hiring brief for you, and then it goes find candidates that are awesome. Let me show you how.
00:12:20.740
So this time we just go to Manus and we give it this prompt. So I'll say something like,
00:12:24.360
I need to hire someone for my business. Create a form for me to fill out that gathers everything
00:12:28.940
you need to find my ideal candidate, right? Talk about the roles, the skills, the experience,
00:12:32.820
the location, maybe the hours, things that are deal breakers. That's a big one. Nice to have,
00:12:37.640
salary range, anything else. Then it's going to create that form. Step two is to fill out the
00:12:41.520
form and then let it search. It'll scan LinkedIn, Indeed, poll profiles, and then it'll rank all
00:12:47.980
those people by fit. So now you got to review it, review their name, their LinkedIn, their experience,
00:12:52.740
the skill, and specifically the fit score. Now have it draft a personalized outreach message
00:12:58.240
to your top picks. This is the game changer. Most of you put a job posting and you wait for people
00:13:03.800
to apply. What we're doing here is we're saying, no, no, no, no. Let's tell Manus to go sort through
00:13:09.040
all the noise, come back to us, find their email, find their contact info, write the message, and
00:13:14.380
then send it to Start Creating Pipeline. Manually doing this would have easily taken 15 to 25 hours.
00:13:21.200
And if you had to pay for a recruiter, you're looking minimum $5,000 to $10,000 in recruiter
00:13:25.220
fees. With Manus, we're talking 45 minutes, and it saves you $5,000 to $10,000 or way more,
00:13:31.420
and it's done in real time. And you pocket all that money. But here's an interesting question.
00:13:40.800
which brings us to use case number six, leads for days.
00:13:45.100
Today, if you even do this, you might be on LinkedIn,
00:13:49.020
you might be Googling, you might be looking up directories,
00:13:51.480
you're manually trying to find companies or individuals,
00:13:53.800
you're looking up decision makers, you're copying emails,
00:13:56.660
you're putting this all into a spreadsheet of your CRM,
00:13:59.300
and you're trying to find maybe 200 qualified leads
00:14:02.340
that you could spend 30 to 50 hours of work doing.
00:14:14.900
we had a team of people where they had multiple monitors
00:14:31.540
40 hours a week, just to maybe find 100 decent leads.
00:14:37.380
it sends the first email, all from one conversation.
00:14:47.500
doing a million to 10 million in revenue in the US.
00:14:54.920
I need their name, their email, their LinkedIn profile
00:15:03.620
and it comes back and then you have that spreadsheet.
00:15:06.500
Then if you connect the Gmail connector in Manus,
00:15:11.400
So I'll say draft me a personalized three sentence email
00:15:21.320
And then the last step is just tell it to send the first one
00:15:23.520
and watch Manus send it directly from your inbox as you
00:15:32.680
I mean, it would take me 30 to 60 hours of effort.
00:15:43.720
All of it is done and it'll save you so much cash.
00:16:12.420
what about the leads that you've already talked to
00:16:14.500
and they've gone cold or you forgot to follow up with?
00:16:17.320
This last point might be the most profitable thing
00:16:26.540
These are leads that went dark, people that didn't reply.
00:16:37.080
Most businesses lose 30 to 50% of their deals this way.
00:16:49.040
For example, I've been in sales for nearly 30 years
00:16:52.080
and three words kill most deals almost every time.
00:17:16.820
If they're smart, they're gonna reply and they go,
00:17:22.520
They're just bored of getting bullsh** messages from you
00:17:25.580
and you have the opportunity to make it dynamic
00:17:29.800
With Manus, you can give it access to your CRM,
00:17:38.620
Go into Manus and you give it this simple prompt.
00:17:47.780
Find all the open deals that haven't gotten a reply
00:18:00.460
reference some part of our previous conversation,
00:18:11.260
Hey, I just read this and I was thinking about you.
00:18:13.140
You can use any CRM that you use for this example.
00:18:26.120
Then you tell it to use the Google Calendar Connector
00:18:28.360
and tell it create a reincurring one hour block
00:18:41.120
For example, I have a chief of staff calendar analysis prompt
00:18:47.020
But essentially it looks at my goals for the year.
00:18:49.820
It looks at my calendar and then it does some analysis
00:18:55.300
I should be doing to get those kinds of results?
00:18:57.620
And it is wild because it makes it almost gamified
00:19:02.720
because I know next week it's gonna run the audit
00:19:06.200
It even makes sure that the calendar is accurate
00:19:26.300
because they're so busy trying to get the new deals.
00:19:28.180
With Manus, guaranteed, focus, 30 to 45 minutes a month,
00:19:32.920
and it could easily recover 25 to 50K in lost revenue
00:19:39.580
Now, those are seven game-changing business growth,
00:19:49.340
So you've probably heard of these agentic systems.
00:19:55.660
so that you can actually chat with Manus from your phone.
00:20:11.220
that you could do for me and suggest them every morning.
00:20:24.020
Use the Telegram connector and treat it like a friend.
00:20:31.900
So basically this is like a personal assistant.
00:20:41.400
that most people have never experienced with AI.
00:20:43.220
And the best part of it is that you can use the voice mode,
00:20:45.700
you can chat with it, you can send it pictures,
00:20:47.700
all through telegram so this was a big video and i did it on purpose i mean we talked about how do
00:20:53.420
we build websites how to launch an app how to plan content for months spy on competitors hire faster
00:20:59.280
generate leads and recover lost revenue all with one tool in zero code a year ago this would have
00:21:05.800
cost you six figures in a full-time team it's wild now it costs you an afternoon and the truth
00:21:10.740
is the gap between people who use ai and people who are still just talking about it thinking about
00:21:16.720
getting ready to use it, it's getting bigger and bigger.
00:21:19.980
But you seeing and knowing this is a game changer for you.
00:21:38.900
and use those to actually go try something today.
00:21:42.100
And remember, if you wanna turn your whole team
00:21:44.080
into AI power users, just DM me AI Cheat Sheet on Instagram
