Software & DevOpsDone with Manus
Write and debug code across eight test tasks
A reviewer had Manus build a currency converter, fix a find_max bug and make a landing page, with mostly strong results.
- What They Did
- The reviewer gave Manus eight self-contained prompts in September 2025. They included a Python currency converter, a broken find_max function, a bubble sort walkthrough, a landing page, a React scaffold and a Guess Who game. Each output was scored on the same checks: whether it ran, edge cases, validation, explanation, accessibility and sample output.
- How It Went
- Manus averaged 4.69 out of 5 and scored 5 on four tasks, including the find_max fix, where it found all three bugs. It lost points for skipping explanations, never running its JavaScript, weak email validation and a Guess Who game that only understood keyword questions.
- Worth Knowing
- Tests ran on an early Manus version, before 1.5 and 1.6. Every lost point was something a developer review would catch, so plan for a review pass.
Try it yourself with Manus
Write a [small program, e.g. currency converter in Python] that [requirements]. Then review this code for bugs and fix them: [paste code]. Run it with a few test cases and give me the final code, the test results and a one-paragraph explanation of what you changed.
