I am sure you must know about the general AI agent, Manus. It was launched a few months ago, and over the months, they have added several new features to their system. Now, you can generate videos, create websites, and do much more with the tool. In this blog, I will be showcasing five diverse tasks that Manus AI can perform.

What is Manus AI?
Manus AI is a powerful general AI agent that functions as a smart, autonomous assistant, bridging ideas and actions. Unlike tools like GPT-4, it completes complex tasks end-to-end, including research, data analysis, and website building, working asynchronously in the cloud. Assign tasks like resume screening (unzip, extract, rank), close your laptop, and get notified when done. With multimodal processing (text, images, code), tool integration, and adaptive learning, it’s like having a dedicated employee.

In the section below, we will be using Manus AI for 6 different tasks.
1. Create Slides
Prompt: “Can you research on why AI Agents are becoming so popular in 2025 and then make a PPT for it?“
Observation:
- Tasks that I asked for were taken care of
- Used appropriate resources for reference
- Slides were of decent quality
2. Generate Videos
Prompt: “Video Subject: Wild Wolves running Please generate an amazing video about {Video Subject}.”
Manus AI offers Veo 3 powered video generation, but only in its paid plans. However, this feature can be highlybeneficial for many users. For example, you could ask the agent to create a social media plan and generateimages and videos for posting. From planning to content creation, Manus can handle it all.

3. Creating Reports
Generating reports is a highly useful task that these general agents perform. If you have a meeting coming up orneed assistance with audits, you can use Manus for these purposes.
Prompt: “I have to choose between two SEO tools – Ahrefs or SEMrush. Conduct a thorough analysis and recommend which one I should select.
Tasks:
– Analyze how my competitors are performing
– Regularly track the top-performing keywords of my website
– Perform a backlink audit“
Checkout the full output here.
This is a helpful feature. Manus can compare different products, create comprehensive reports, and conduct research on any topic. The output it provided for the Ahrefs and Semrush comparison was quite impressive. It accurately detailed the features and pricing for each, with a clear explanation of when to choose which tool.
4. Get Audio Outputs
Prompt: “Look, Rachel, I get it—you’re out here treating social media like it’s the Renaissance and you’re Michelangelo hand-painting every post. Meanwhile, I’m over here living in the future, where AI writes my captions, designs my graphics, and even tells me the best time to post. I’ve got more free time than a sloth on vacation, and my engagement? Chef’s kiss.
You’re still manually hashtagging like it’s 2012, and I’m just… gestures to phone letting robots do the heavy lifting. It’s not cheating—it’s working smarter. Unless you enjoy spending hours on something that takes me five minutes? …Wait, do you? Rachel, are you okay? Do we need to stage an intervention? Because I will 100% use an AI to plan it.
…Wait, do you? Rachel, are you okay? Do we need to stage an intervention? Because I will 100% use an AI to plan it.“
Output:
I tried giving one conversational script prompt to Manus where Sam says a dialogue and Rachel replies, but Manus failed to combine it into a single audio file, giving me separate audio files for each dialogue. The same thing happened with my current prompt: three separate paragraphs were part of a single prompt, but it produced three different audio files instead of a single one. So, you might have to merge these later.
5. Create a Webpage
Prompt: “Create and deploy a website based on the following instructions: Build an interactive Pokédex webpage featuring the first 20 Pokémon, including their animations and types“
You can checkout the website here.
Manus created and deployed the website within 10 minutes. All the features work perfectly, and the website looks great. This feature can be used to create your product prototypes.
6. Create Images
Prompt: “Generate a 4-panel comic strip illustrating this story:
Panel 1: Show Nitika as a non-tech professional looking overwhelmed by technology
Panel 2: Show her discovering Analytics Vidhya’s ‘GenAI for Everyone’ course (include course URL: https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/courses/genai-landscape/)
Panel 3: Depict Nitika confidently using AI tools after completing the course
Panel 4: Show her receiving a promotion and celebrating career success
Moral/Text: ‘Everyone should learn AI for their job!”
Manus AI adhered to the prompt and provided the correct images. However, you may achieve better results using Gemini or ChatGPT.
