  • Audit trails: Saving task histories, exporting outputs, and documenting agent actions.
  • Credit discipline: Sizing tasks appropriately, using Chat mode for simple queries, and preventing runaway tasks.
  • Discussion: Drafting a one-page team usage policy.

Module 6: Capstone and Next Steps

  • Each participant builds one workflow based on their specific job responsibilities.

  • Personal 30-day usage plan: Migrating two tasks to Manus and building one Skill.

Cerințe

  • Basic proficiency with web applications; no prior AI experience is necessary.
  • Participants must sign in to their own Manus license using a work laptop with Chrome or Edge. As Manus is a cloud-based service, no virtual machines are required.
  • Verify the Manus plan status and credit balance prior to the course. Ideally, schedule the session early in the billing cycle, as a full day of hands-on work may consume a significant portion of monthly credits.
  • Confirm with IT which connectors are approved (e.g., Gmail, Google Drive, Notion) to ensure demonstrations align with post-course capabilities.
  • The instructor utilizes a separate paid Manus account for preparation and live demos.
  • All exercise data is synthetic and provided by the trainer; participants should not bring client data.
  • Pre-course survey (approximately 10 minutes): Identify one or two repetitive tasks from current workflows, to be submitted at least one week before the session.

Target Audience

  • Finance Associates
  • Forensic Accounting Specialists
  • Corporate Finance Professionals
