Eric Siu tests Manus, an AI tool that automates outreach and content creation. It found podcast advertisers, personalized emails, and generated Instagram carousels by learning from examples. Siu says the tool handles tasks that used to take hours.
Earlier last year, middle of last year, I made a Manus video on YouTube. It got like 200,000 long-form views, right? It's like how Manus will make you rich. Boom. It was really good. But then I churned off of it. When the acquisition happened, I was like, I wonder how good it's gotten. So I started using it last week. I signed up again. And let me give you an example. So remember how I was talking about how the Nine Operators Podcast makes like $5 million a year? I was like, you know what, Manus, help me find all the advertisers on the Nine Operators Podcast and find out the right person to reach out to. And I want you to personalize the email and schedule it for tomorrow and send it from my Gmail. It did it. It did it this morning. That was my prompt. It literally did all of that. So So in my mind, I'm like, hey, anybody who's complaining about there's not enough leads, how about you just go to Madison? You can just query this stuff now. And I'm saying it's a really good general agent. It's been good at making custom carousels for me. So I saw the Instagram CEO, he made these carousels, right? I was like, hey, just copy these carousels. Madison copied it and it made it into a really nice format.
