Hi, everyone. My name is Ellen. I'm a Manus Fellow. And I've been using Manus for a while, both professionally and personally during my day work, I'm working as a management consultant in the finance industry trying to help fast-growing companies to solve their complex issues and a lot of times my life involved doing a quick research of an industry I have no idea of in a very short time like a day I need to quickly understand a biological industry or a lot of other industries and I need to turn my results into a very beautiful deck beautiful not in the sense of just having a lot of icons or pictures but also being very professional and then having a very consistent beauty style. So today in my demo I will be showing you how do I quickly learn about the Australian dog food industry with Manus and then creating a really decent slide deck in my perspective. Oh no it's showed already. That's my final result. It would be really nice to show after I tell you my process. So now I'm just first telling Manus, hey I'm I'm trying to learn about the dog food market in Australia. And then can you do a comprehensive research for me? And I tell Manus, here are some areas I'm interested in. For example, the market size, the product categories, because I don't know any type of dog food, and then the customer segments, and then the competitors. So Menus helped me do a very in-depth research and generate a report for me. I read the report. It looks very comprehensive to me. And I definitely learned so much about an overview of the market of every section I care about. And then after the report, I was telling Madness, hey, now this looks good. Can you now help me make a slide deck? Because that's the final deliverable I want to make. And then I had some ideas after reading the reports. I was like, OK, I want several slides. So for the first slide, for example, I want an introduction of the pet food because I don't know anything. My client may not know anything. And then I wanted to tell them the different customer segments. I don't really know what type of customers exist there. And at the same time, I upload three different styles of slide deck that I think are really cool or good looking or satisfy the professional standard I need to meet. So then I tell my Manus, now just follow the style of this slide deck so you can make it pretty in the professional service standard. So then the first task Manus does was analyze the slide references provided by my examples, which Toa mentioned before. It's really awesome that it actually just analyzed the style for me. So after all the analysis, Manus created me a first version of slide deck. And I think the content looked very amazing in this first version. But then there is some style that I wanted to improve. For example, some layout has a really giant picture on the left-hand side that I don't feel good about. And there are some pictures that are a little too goofy for my client to look. So just a lot of random design stuff like that. So I give some feedback in a very random strain of thought. And then Manus helped me to improve the site deck. After giving a few rounds, like two to three rounds of feedback, I get the final deck here. So it looks pretty awesome. It has a title for every page. And then I require it to have the source in the footnote so I can know the data are actually credible. And then I have the different type of food introduction. It segments different customers for me. So I know, oh, actually, there are different type of Australian people who love to buy different type of dog food. And then the market side with a very clear growth chart over the past 10 years. And the regulations, which will take me so much time to search by myself and even tell me the status of the regulation. And then lastly, on competitors, it not only tell me the key brands or the market share, and also tell me some customer reviews. So I don't actually need to go online to read every single customer review. I can know what are these competitors doing. So I think overall, from my standpoint, the whole process took me around 45 minutes to write the prompts, wait for the processing, and then give feedback. And normally in my life, it will take me 45 minutes to make every single slide by myself manually. So I think this is a really, really big time saver. And it's definitely a very decent presentable slide to the client and the professional service industry. So yeah, if you're thinking, how do I make my pitch like a little prettier, just give Manus a try. That's my demo. 

All right. Thank you.
