Build interactive web games from prompts

Per an influencer's tests, Manus built a role-play web game as Google's CEO in about an hour and a match-three puzzle game with tech logos.

What They Did

The author had no invitation code, so he relied on tests by the Chinese tech influencer Lanxi. Manus runs each agent in a virtual machine, where it plans steps, writes and runs code, and browses the web. It built a role-play web game as Google's CEO, and a match-three puzzle game using tech company logos.

How It Went

The Google CEO game took about an hour. The puzzle game first hit download restrictions on third-party sites. Once the requirements were changed, Manus finished it on its own. Manus still struggles with complex tasks, and server outages sometimes interrupted work.

Worth Knowing

Tasks often take over 30 minutes and sometimes hours. Screen adaptability issues mean you need clear instructions. The source estimates about $2 per task, and access was invite-only at the time.
