The AI That Actually Does Your Work: Manus Browser Operator
By Julia McCoy
Summary
## Key takeaways - **Manus Controls Your Browser Autonomously**: This thing actually takes control of your browser and completes tasks for you autonomously. I'm talking about logging into websites, navigating complex workflows, filling out applications, scraping data from premium platforms, things that used to take hours. [00:19], [00:37] - **3-4 Hours Research in 8 Minutes**: This single task would have taken me 3 to four hours. Manis did it in 8 minutes by logging into CrunchBase, extracting funding data, employee count, and key executives for the top 20 AI companies, then organizing it in a spreadsheet. [03:43], [03:51] - **10 Job Apps in Under 30 Minutes**: Something that would normally take four to 5 hours of mind-numbing form filling completed in under 30 minutes. It opened each application, filled out forms using my resume, drafted unique cover letters, attached my resume, and submitted all 10 applications. [05:16], [05:33] - **Uses Your Existing Logins Securely**: It works with your existing browser, Chrome or Edge, using your saved login and sessions. Everything runs locally through your browser with your IP address, no storing passwords or credentials anywhere. [01:58], [05:43] - **Social Media Managed in Background**: It checked my LinkedIn messages, drafted replies to collaboration requests, created a Twitter thread in my writing style, and scheduled it, all working in the background without interrupting what I was doing.

You know what's wild? We've been
promised AI assistants for years, but most of them just talk. They give you answers, sure, but they don't actually do anything until now. I just discovered
something that legitimately shocks me in the best way possible. It's called Manis browser operator, and it's not another chatbot. This thing actually takes
chatbot. This thing actually takes control of your browser and completes tasks for you autonomously. And I'm not talking about simple stuff. I'm talking
about logging into websites, navigating complex workflows, filling out applications, scraping data from premium platforms, things that used to take
hours. Hey, if we haven't met, I'm Dr.

Here's the thing. If you're running a business, managing a side hustle, or just trying to stay on top of your work, you're probably spending 10 to 20 hours a week on tasks that are completely
soulcrushing. copying data between
soulcrushing. copying data between platforms, filling out the same forms over and over, researching competitors across multiple sites, managing social media posts, applying to opportunities,
extracting information from paywalled sites. These aren't hard tasks, they're
sites. These aren't hard tasks, they're just tedious, mindnumbing, the kind of work that makes you question your life choices at 11 p.m. on a Tuesday. Man,
browser operator solves this in a way I've never seen before. Instead of
making you switch to some new AI browser or upload your credentials to the cloud, it works with your existing browser, Chrome or Edge, using your saved login
and sessions. Think about that. It's not
and sessions. Think about that. It's not
recreating your digital life in some new ecosystem. It's augmenting the one you
ecosystem. It's augmenting the one you already have. Here's the pattern that
already have. Here's the pattern that makes this revolutionary. First, it uses your authentic local IP address and network connection. That means it can
network connection. That means it can handle strict security checks and access controls that would break other automation tools. Second, it works
automation tools. Second, it works within your active browser tabs using your existing loggedin sessions. No
compromise on security. Third, it plans and executes multi-step workflows across different websites without constant supervision. You give it a task, it
supervision. You give it a task, it opens a new tab, and gets to work while you do something else. Use case number one, research automation. Let me show
you something concrete. Say you're doing competitive research and need to pull data from Crunchb, a premium platform with a payw wall. Normally, you'd spend
hours logging in, searching each company, clicking through profiles, copy pasting data into a spreadsheet. Repeat
50 times. with Manis. I just said log into CrunchBase and extract funding data, employee count, and key executives for the top 20 AI companies. Then
organize it in a spreadsheet. Watch what
happens. It logs in using my saved credentials, navigates to each company, extracts the exact data I need, organizes everything, all while I'm
recording this video in another tab.
This single task would have taken me 3 to four hours. Manis did it in 8 minutes. Use case number two, social
minutes. Use case number two, social media management. Here's another one
media management. Here's another one that'll blow your mind. Social media
management. I told Manis, "Check my LinkedIn messages, draft replies to any collaboration requests, then create a Twitter thread about the Manis browser operator feature and schedule it for
tomorrow at 900 a.m." It opened LinkedIn in a new tab, checked my unread messages, used AI to draft contextually appropriate replies based on the message
content, then switched to Twitter, logged in, and created a thread using my writing style. The wild part, it didn't
writing style. The wild part, it didn't interrupt what I was doing. It worked in the background, then asked for my approval before sending anything. This
is what true autonomous delegation looks like. Use case number three, job
like. Use case number three, job applications. But here's where it gets
applications. But here's where it gets really crazy. Let's talk about job
really crazy. Let's talk about job applications, something that literally everyone has suffered through. I gave
Manis a list of 10 remote software engineering positions and my resume.
Then I said, "Apply to all of these jobs using my resume, and tailored the cover letter for each position." It opened each application in sequence, filled out
the forms using information from my resume, analyzed each job description, drafted unique cover letters that matched the specific requirements, attached my resume, submitted the
applications. all 10 applications.
applications. all 10 applications.
Something that would normally take four to 5 hours of mind-numbing form filling completed in under 30 minutes. And this
works for any formbbased process. Visa
applications, grant proposals, client onboarding, vendor registrations, anything. Now, I know what you're
anything. Now, I know what you're thinking. This sounds amazing, but what
thinking. This sounds amazing, but what about security? This is where Manis
about security? This is where Manis really separates itself from everything else on the market. First, everything
runs locally through your browser with your IP address. Nothing is simulating or spoofing your identity in the cloud.
Second, Manis always asks for authorization before accessing your browser. You can enable auto
browser. You can enable auto authorization for trusted tasks, but by default, you're in control. Third, it
uses your existing loggedin sessions.
It's not storing your passwords or credentials anywhere. They even have a
credentials anywhere. They even have a full trust center at trust.mmanis.im IM
that breaks down their security architecture. Compare this to other
architecture. Compare this to other automation tools that require you to hand over your login credentials or work through remote cloud browsers. This is
fundamentally more secure because it's working within your authenticated environment. And the setup is stupid
environment. And the setup is stupid simple. Three steps. One, install the
simple. Three steps. One, install the Manis browser operator extension from the Chrome web store. Takes 30 seconds.
Two, open the Manis app. go to
connectors and toggle on browser. You
can also enable skip authorization if you want fully hands-off automation.
Three, run a task. When Manis needs browser access, it'll ask permission.
Grant it and the agent takes over.
That's it. No complex integrations, no technical setup, no coding required.
Here's why this matters beyond just saving time. We're in this weird phase
saving time. We're in this weird phase of AI where everyone's talking about agents, but most agents are just chat bots with better marketing. They can't
actually do anything without you doing the work. Manis represents something
the work. Manis represents something different. It's the first system I've
different. It's the first system I've seen that can understand complex goals, plan multi-step processes, execute across different platforms, adapt when
things don't go as expected, deliver readytouse outcomes. This is what Sam
readytouse outcomes. This is what Sam Alman means when he talks about AI that will really transform things. This is
what true autonomous delegation looks like. And here's the pattern I'm seeing.
like. And here's the pattern I'm seeing.
Just like how we adapted from horses to cars, but this time it's better, faster, safer, and cheaper. Manis is showing us what the next evolution looks like.
Look, I've tested hundreds of AI tools.
Most of them end up gathering dust after the initial excitement wears off. But
Manis browser operator is different. My
team is using it every single day for research, for content, for client work, for all the tedious tasks that used to drain 10 to 15 hours of my week. If
you're ready to turn your browser into an AI powered automation machine, click the link in the description for 1,000 free credits to get started. And here's
my challenge. Try to break it. Give it
your most tedious, time-consuming task.
a thing you've been putting off because you know it's going to take hours of mindless clicking, then watch it get done in minutes while you do literally
anything else. The future isn't going to
anything else. The future isn't going to be owned by the people who can talk to AI the best. It's going to be owned by the people who can delegate to AI
effectively. Manis browser operator is
effectively. Manis browser operator is the first tool I've seen that actually makes that possible. Don't forget to click the link in the description to get
your 1,000 free credits and start automating your workflows with Manis.
