With limited time and 10 weeks of biology lectures to review, they uploaded lecture PDFs, practice exams, and past test results into Manus. The result? A personalized study guide with section-by-section breakdowns, high-yield topics, and instant answers to context-specific questions — all without having to build a custom GPT.
If you're overwhelmed with study materials and short on time, this workflow is a game-changer.

Great. Thank you, everyone. So my demo today is like I just finished my sophomore year, being pre-med, a lot of stuff to study for for finals. So, okay, I want to see if I can pause this. Oh, OK, maybe not. So OK, as you can see at the top here, I just want to show that a lot of people talk about, OK, you use Manus for something. But what are the thresholds of this? So what I did here is I took my Canvas course for my biology class. OK, there we go. And I pretty much downloaded all the PDFs. So this is my lecture. This is a whole 10 weeks worth of all the lectures. Because I was like, OK, I can study my notes, but what if I miss something? Or what if I have a question? And I don't want to just ask ChatGPT because it can access the whole knowledge of all the internet. And maybe we didn't cover that. So I really want some context-specific stuff. So I gave it all of these files. And I really just asked it, OK, here's practice exams. So it's not only lectures. They're practice exams, my past midterms, so actually the test that I actually took, as well as the score and the result. So I found this was a huge study hack, because now when I go down to the bottom, you can see it's just preparing a lot of stuff. And it gives you this detailed report. Obviously, this took quite a bit of time. OK, hopefully, I can get to the bottom eventually. But you can see that it has this entire study guide where it outlines the most important things. It even has high yield topics and stuff. So it's really just easy for me to go through. And there's also study guides based off of each section here. So you can also see they have…we did a lot of physiology. So these are study guides by each section. And then let's say, oh, I don't know about a certain thing. I have another question, a follow-up question about a certain part. So I asked it, what are the beta and alpha agonist and antagonist functions? This is something very specific we covered about, and it should be in one of those slides. So you can see it very clearly kind of breaks that down. So now I didn't have to train a GPT. I didn't have to make a custom GPT just for my studying purposes. And actually, even now I'm realizing I could have had it log in to my course website and actually download all the files itself and read through them. So I wouldn't even have to upload it. But in this case, I did upload them. And you can just see the amount of context able to just support, go through everything very concisely, but also detailed, create a summary of it, and then I'm still able to ask it specific questions afterwards. So I think this is a huge, huge test. And personally, for me, after I kind of had this, I was like, wow, this is a game changer for studying. And it just proved, really, the capabilities of how deep and far Manus can go. Thank you, everyone.
