Scrape a conference site into a searchable dashboard
In a workshop demo, a Manus agent scraped about 70 talks, extracted schedules, converted times to UTC, and built a dashboard with recommendations and calendar integration.
- What They Did
- In a workshop demo, a Manus agent scraped a whole conference website of about 70 talks. It pulled out dates, times and descriptions, and converted every time to UTC. It then built a searchable dashboard with a Similar Events recommendation feature and one-click calendar integration. The write-up doesn't give the prompt or say where a person stepped in.
- How It Went
- The demo produced a working dashboard covering the 70-plus talks. The source gives no accuracy checks, timings or cost figures for this example.
- Worth Knowing
- The write-up is a summary of a workshop video and gives no prompt or build time, so watch the recording for the exact steps.
Try it yourself with Manus
Go to [conference website URL] and scrape every talk: title, speaker, time, room, and description. Convert all times to [my time zone], then build a searchable dashboard where I can filter by topic and speaker, plus a list of recommended talks based on my interests in [topics]. You're done when the dashboard works and I can export my picks to a calendar file; show me the picks before adding anything to my calendar.
