Create a research-backed trends deck
A user had Manus 1.6 Lite assemble an 11-slide AI trends presentation after it gathered web sources and generated charts.
- What they did
- They opened Manus 1.6 Lite on the free tier with a single subject to work from and left the default setup unchanged. Manus then pulled material from the web by itself, citing Deloitte, Stanford HAI, and KPMG, and turned that into an 11-slide outline before building the deck without asking for a check-in. When the draft was done, the author requested chart additions wherever they fit.
- How it went
- The source gathering ran for more than 10 minutes and produced traceable references. The slide design was repetitive, using the same text-card format across the deck, with no pictures and just one bar chart. The later chart pass lasted 7โ8 minutes and inserted three simple charts.
- Tips
- Plan for each revision to trigger a fresh round of source collection, which makes even small tweaks slow. Because the outline cannot be edited before the slides are generated, it helps to give a very specific first request.
Try it yourself with Manus
Put together a [number]-slide deck for [audience] about [topic]. Start by finding up-to-date, credible web sources and list them as you go. Share the outline first and wait for my approval before creating any slides. After I approve it, generate the presentation with varied layouts, and add charts or images where they improve clarity. Before anything is sent, purchased, deleted, or published, pause and ask for my confirmation. Then export the deck and include a brief source list.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
