Use Manus to plan, mock up, and code a new feature area
Mufasa used Manus to inspect an older version of Genesis, test mockups for a new AI automation section, and generate code for v2.0.
- What they did
- Mufasa worked with Manus on Genesis by first going over what was weak in v1.0 and discussing how a new AI automation section could fit. They then tried several platform mockups before asking Manus to turn the chosen direction into code for v2.0. Mufasa stayed in charge of the overall direction and fixed issues as they came up, while Manus handled the review and build steps.
- How it went
- The work produced a v2.0 update in progress, but no finished release or measurable outcome was shared. The post treats the update as a major step forward and says more detail will come later.
- Tips
- This works best when you want an agent to move through design and implementation in stages, not all at once. If you use it for a product update, keep a human in the loop for scope decisions and any final changes.
Try it yourself with Manus
I’m working on [platform or app], which serves [short description]. First, review the current version and point out the main weak spots. Then suggest a new section for [feature area], show me 2–3 mockup options, and help me choose one. After I approve the direction, generate starter code for the selected version. Stop before any action that would publish, send, delete, or deploy anything, and ask me to confirm before continuing. Finish with a brief recap of what you built and what I should check next.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
