Use Manus for travel admin, but keep a close watch

A reviewer tried Manus on travel browser work, but supervision took longer than the tasks and the account credits were drained overnight.

What they did
After roughly a month with Manus, the reviewer put it to work on browser errands tied to travel: finding and booking a flight and a train, pulling trip details from Gmail, and putting them into Google Calendar. They also expected it to obtain an email sign-in code on its own. Instead, the reviewer had to monitor the session closely and sometimes step in directly.
How it went
What looked like a 15-minute task turned into 1.5 hours of oversight, and some of the work ended up being done by the reviewer. One unattended overnight session kept running until it used up the account’s leftover credits while the agent sat at the login-code step.
Tips
For browser agents, require a checkpoint before booking, submitting, or using account access. If a task depends on verification codes or other gated steps, plan to supervise it rather than leaving it alone.

Try it yourself with Manus

Help me with travel admin in the browser. Use [Gmail/calendar/websites] to collect details for [flight/train/hotel] between [place A] and [place B] for [date range]. Compare the best options by [price/duration/stops] and show me the results in a short list. Pause before any booking, payment, submission, deletion, or account change, and wait for my approval before taking that step. If a verification code or sign-in check appears, stop and ask me what to do next.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
