What if you can have the perfect assistant, right? Someone who understand what's going on. Someone who can break down a problem, plan out how to tackle this problem, use all the frameworks in the right ways in order to help you exactly flawlessly execute on tasks. I mean, this was the dream of the MBA intern, right? Like we all thought, okay, they learn all of these frameworks. They learn from the best of the best and we're waiting for them to show up and show us real world problem solving. What are you going to bring? And unfortunately, most of the time it doesn't work somehow, right? Like the things that they're learning don't really translate. A lot of them maybe have a little bit of NBA flare. And you know, at the workplace where politics does happen, right, it creates all sorts of issues. I mean, it's the same with AI. We keep on saying it's like a smart intern, but it doesn't quite work until I think we've already hit that point where AI can be better than the MBA intern. And I'm not talking about TGBT or Claude. I feel like those at some points still remain interns. So, let's see what the new models they'll bring out this year can do. But in this moment in time, uh the software I found, I've been using it for the past year. it has consistently outperformed uh compared to all of the LLMs, the major ones in the output. And I'm talking about Manis AI. I feel like YouTube at least has been pretty quiet about this tool. I don't know why we're gatekeeping it, but I feel like this was the number one tool outside of LLM that I used. And recently, they came out with something that I feel like for framework thinkers, it is topnotch. So let me show you how I use this tool to get really phenomenal like above average output every single time. Let me show you. All right, we are in Manace and in a nutshell this is an AI agent. So basically whenever you give it a prompt a task it will identify it break it down and plan out how it's going to do it. Then agents are actually going to conduct whatever it is needed like research or compiling Excel sheets or do whatever it is that needs to be done and then they give you the output. So the point is to help you do stuff autonomously, right? It will course orchestrate all of the different agents to get things done. I mean I really think Manis is my colleague uh at my work. It helps me break things down. It helps me do things, by the way, without a complicated prompt. And I'll show you an example in a moment. If for one second, we can remember the last video I did where I talked about, okay, we're moving away from prompt engineering towards context engineering. Right? So, the prompt you give is no longer very important, but you need to give a good context. And we talked about how, you know, you got to get the documents together, you got to take notes, and I think the there's still some work to be done if you don't already do it. Whereas, what I'll show you today is even if you don't have that note-taking stuff done, you can still get, you know, 8020 of the power of having the right context. And this wasn't available, this feature when I filmed the last video, but it's here now. So, give this a try. All right. So let me show you an example just so it's easier to uh visualize what I mean by this. I am currently writing a book. And so one of the things I'm doing is I want to make sure that the book is not just like another drawing on four pages about a story and then you know you get some somewhat actionable but not really actionable thing towards the end and you know the book gradually gets worse because all authors know most people don't read past like the first chapter. I didn't want to do that. So I thought about okay, what kind of frameworks can I use and to me James Clear's Atomic Habits, he's put so much thought into how each of the chapters set up so that people actually read through it, people actually take action on it and you know you actually get the transformation as a reader. So I wanted to use his framework but you know he hasn't shared it anywhere. So I thought, okay, I want to and I think this is the one I want to actually figure out his frameworks. So what I did was I gave it this terrible prompt, right? I just said, "Hey, I'm writing my sample book chapter and I want to use the structure in atomic habits. So help me analyze the structure and what's the role of each section and how they link to each other so that the reader is engaged and reads to the end. see the chapter attached and I attached chapter one of Atomic Habits uh from James Clear. Okay, this prompt

you know, this is the stuff I cringed at. My mom puts prompts like this into Chachi PT. Okay, but just with the simple prompt, man went ahead and started to, you know, read through the PDF. started to analyze and then it helped me then create this structure analysis of what are the frameworks that uh James is using in his book. So then I then asked her to do a next chapter because each of the chapters have a different um intention right the first chapter is kind of setting the scene the second chapter starts to get into the frameworks and stuff. So I asked it to do the second chapter. So it did the second chapter, went through it and then uh it compiled something. So then um I asked it to comp asked it to analyze chapter 2 compared to chapter 1. So it gave me this awesome document. Let me show you at least a preview of it where it went into opening technique, primary mode, story count, visual diagrams. It went through argumentation styles, emotional arc, meta commentary that it now has. I personally think I'm a pretty strong framework thinker, right? If I took the frameworks, I took the chapters, I can't analyze it. But no way can I analyze two chapters across 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 categories and be able to map it out in I probably this probably took I don't know like five minutes. Okay, like I is that crazy or is that crazy? Okay, that and this by the way I'm not even talking about the new feature I was thinking of sharing with you today. This is just simple how to use manis. Okay, 8020. You just put in a task and it will just do it better than you expected. Okay. Now, here is the feature I want to talk to you about which is skills. So, skills in a nutshell is basically a modular place to capture how to do something. Okay. So it's a onboarding guide so that every time you just tell menace hey if you are helping me do market research this is the workflow I want you to use right basically you're creating you know a standard operating procedure of sorts for manis but the cool thing is and it comes already pre-installed with certain skills but the cool thing is if you do something like what I did here just now I can make it into a skill so that whenever I am writing my book chapters. I can now simply say choose skill. I could choose my where is it engaging chapter writer skill and I say okay help me edit this chapter and I just paste in the chapter here and it will know to go through the 10 things that we talked about here and start to give me suggestions. It's not making things up, right? is not averaging down to whatever is most generic and start to predict. It actually has the context of how I want this thing to be done and we can use it again and again. That's where you have consistent output at a standard that you set which is how you're going to stand out, right? Because I talked about using frameworks last time in your AI in order to not deal with the generic stuff. But this skills feature take it even further is every single thing that you do in Manis, you can say this is how I like it done right and you can refer to that or you can edit it as you go. So that not only are things consistent, they can consistently outperform average results. Then what you're able to do is, you know, continue to refine the framework that you use. Let's say, you know, right now I use James Clear's version and I think, okay, it's pretty good, but as I'm reading, maybe I read another book. Let's say I read I'm currently reading, okay, how to solve it, you know, it's a math problem solving book, but anyway, let's say, you know, for then I think, oh, how he's written the book is even better. So now I get Manis to analyze the frameworks of how um Puya writes his books and then I can compare right first I give it my chap sample chapter and I say okay analyze this across you know how James Clear thinks through his chapter I get an edit following a very specific framework then I say okay take the same sample chapter now analyze it against PIA's uh framework then I can physically compare the results Right? And I can say, okay, I like this part from James Clear. Polia. And I and then I can create my own framework based on the best parts of other frameworks, right? I used to do

this very manually, but now just think about all the things. As long as you can dream it, you can have it. How wonderful is this? Like this is music to the framework thinker. And the easiest part is you don't even need to come up with the framework, right? If you know zero frameworks, you just have a bunch of examples that you think are good, but get managed to analyze it. The frameworks it came up with was like was much better than what I could have done physically. So this is, you know, supercharging those of us who are doing knowledge work to expand our capabilities, right? We're really getting good leverage out of AI and not mind mindlessly just accepting whatever output it gives. Right? This is actually helping me think which is what I mentioned in the last video as well. Like we I truly believe we can actually enjoy knowledge work and go further from it because we can have this fast feedback loop of building on skills and getting to something like this in a few minutes. Manis is free to start. Uh you out of all the models, you get to use 1. 6 light. I am currently on the paid plan because I use it a lot, but I can never finish my credits. So, you know, just give it a try. And when you download it with my link, you'll get another 500 credits for free. Every single day, they reset the I think it was 300 credits. So, you can have plenty to do something as simple as this. Even though you know it's analyzed two whole chapters, I use probably like less than 100 credits. So you it's free to start. Give this a try. I really think we can move now away from the technical prompt engineering and into more deeper thinking with good context. And now giving context if you don't have everything prepped at least you can start to give it frameworks inside skills. Now I'll show you a few more features that I like while I have you here. Even though this won't be like a how to use Manis video. There are so many use cases for Manis. Oh, and I forgot to mention it recently got bought by Meta. Even before they got bought by Meta, they were pushing out so many easy to use features that felt very different from a lot of the other LLMs like this is focused on getting things done. So what you can see is what are the type of things that can get done and their use cases all of them are super awesome. Like you can use it as a teleprompter. I don't use one but I think a lot of my YouTube friends use it. So actually I will be sending this to them so they don't have to buy the super expensive um equipments for that you can get it to navigate YC companies right for data analysis this thing is a beast okay like oh man it you don't even need to expand just like the terrible prompt I shared with it knows how to get you the things that you want it intuitively understands what are you actually trying to get at. And I think that's really their strength. I mean, they have very clear frameworks on how they set something up. So, when you say something like, "Hey, help me build an app. " Which, by the way, is another thing that you can do uh just with easy prompts to build mobile apps, then you can publish at on the Google Play Store or on iOS. What you can say is, "Build me an app for, you know, learning frameworks. " and it will understand the all of the things that it needs to do in order for the mobile app to actually work. So, it's got frameworks pre-installed, the workflow pre-installed, right? That's what I mentioned earlier on. It comes pre-installed with rigorous thinking processes. So, you don't have to explain from the beginning of an app needs 1 2 3 4 5 6. It will actually create a to-do list and be able to go through things one by one. uh productivity again um being able to do scheduling, being able to proofread contract reviews. I've used it to review legal documents. What can I say? I am a huge fan. So, give this a try. Let me know how you find it. I'll leave the links down below. And yeah, I love this tool. Let me know what you think.
