Our global community tour rolled into Melbourne on April 28th, and it was great connecting with 72 users and AI enthusiasts eager to explore agent capabilities together.

It was inspiring to hear the diverse and practical ways our community is integrating Manus into professional and personal workflows.

Attendees shared compelling stories about boosting productivity and creativity. An engineer showed how they automated work logging and reporting, while an investment banker highlighted saving significant time for their team of junior credit analysts. We even heard from a hobbyist who used Manus to plan a custom AI PC build using locally sourced components, proving the platform’s versatility stretches far beyond typical business applications.

We also made some unique connections. We met an MIT alumna who pointed out the link between the Manus name and her alma mater's motto, "Mens et Manus" (Mind and Hand), which perfectly captures our mission to empower people through intelligent tools. Additionally, a teacher joined us, keen on exploring how AI agents like Manus could potentially improve education for kids.

These interactions really underscore Melbourne's growing Manus community and how we're collectively bridging diverse fields—from engineering and finance to education and personal projects. The enthusiasm everyone brought highlighted the practical impact AI agents are having today. A huge thanks to our Melbourne community for your active participation and insightful contributions – you make building Manus worthwhile!
