Turn a conference website into a searchable schedule dashboard
A Manus agent scraped a conference site, normalized talk times to UTC, and assembled a dashboard with search, recommendations, and calendar export.
- What they did
- In a workshop demo, a Manus agent visited a conference website with roughly 70 talks and extracted each session’s date, time, and description. It also changed all times into UTC. After that, it built a dashboard that let users search the lineup, see similar events, and send selected talks to a calendar.
- How it went
- The demo ended with a working dashboard for more than 70 talks. The write-up does not mention any verification step, build duration, or cost, so those details are unknown.
- Tips
- If you try this yourself, check that the agent handles time zones consistently before relying on the schedule. Ask it to show any calendar selections for approval before it creates or exports anything.
Try it yourself with Manus
Scan [conference site URL] and collect every talk you can find, including the title, speaker, date, start time, location, and description. Convert all listed times into [time zone] and build a searchable dashboard with filters for topic and speaker, plus a small recommendations panel for talks similar to [my interests]. Before you add anything to a calendar or export an event file, stop and show me the exact items for approval.
