Prompt
Handle this errand for me: [task]. Budget: [amount]. Use your phone number and email to contact [business], chase any replies, and send me a summary when it's done.

Visual breakdown

Manus Cue (heard as "Manas Q") gives an AI its own phone number, email address and wallet so it can run errands for you. You give it a job and a budget and it sees the whole thing through, answering calls, chasing email replies and leaving you a summary.

The problem: Errands drag on because someone has to make the calls, chase replies and keep the conversation going until the job is done.

How an errand runs

  1. Job + budgetYou give the assistant a task and how much it can spend

  4. Team hand-offs (optional)Several in a group chat with one goal hand the work off to each other

Hand off an errand

The video describes it as a free personal assistant that lives in your phone.

  1. Give it a job
  2. Set a budget
  3. Let it handle calls and email follow-ups until the job is done
  4. Read the summary it leaves you
  5. For bigger goals, put a few of them in a group chat with one goal

What stands out

  • Its own phone number lets it pick up calls and leave you a summary.
  • Its own email means it can chase replies instead of stopping after the first message.
  • A budget lets it finish the job rather than just plan it.
  • Several assistants with one shared goal split the work between themselves.
