What I use it for
Deep research with deliverablesInteractive decision frameworksTechnology landscape analysisFeature exploration guides
Pricing
Access via Lenny's Product Pass.
Where it shines
- Research output goes far beyond a single LLM prompt. It does real investigation, not just generation.
- Turns research into an interactive mini-app. You don't just read findings. You explore them.
- Multi-variable analysis is strong. Built me a weighted decision matrix with 20+ variables that was actually useful.
Where it struggles
- Autonomous execution means you wait. Not the tool for quick answers.
Notes
Also via Lenny's Product Pass. The pattern: give Manus a research brief, let it run autonomously, then have it build a clickable website to explore the results. Used it for a decision matrix — 20+ variables, interactive scoring, adjustable weights. It didn't give me the answer. It gave me the framework to quantify my thinking. That's the right use of AI for decisions.
How to try it
Give it a research brief with clear deliverables. Something like "research X, come back with a detailed guide and test cases." Watch the full workflow.
