The launch of Meeting Minutes signals Manus’s shift from being a “research agent” to an “execution partner.” The feature is specifically optimized for real-world, in-person settings—such as boardrooms, coffee shop brainstorms, or field interviews—rather than virtual Zoom calls.
Key Capabilities: Action Over Accuracy
While standard AI note-takers focus on word-for-word accuracy, Manus focuses on what happens after the meeting.
- Intelligent Speaker Recognition: The AI identifies different participants and listens for names to assign to-dos with high precision.
- End-to-End Execution: The most significant innovation is the “Living Context.” Once a meeting is summarized, the user can immediately prompt Manus to “Build a landing page based on these notes” or “Create a pitch deck for the investors we just spoke to” without leaving the task.
- Collaborative Shared Space: Teammates can be invited to the specific Manus task, allowing a group to watch the AI build the requested assets in real-time on a shared “digital canvas.”
- Offline Resilience: Recognizing that meetings often happen in areas with spotty Wi-Fi, Manus continues to record and transcribe offline, only requiring a connection to “Finish” and generate the final analysis.
Step-by-Step: From Voice to Web
- Tap to Record: A single button in the Manus app starts the session.
- Live Analysis: Manus captures key points, decisions, and participants as they speak.
- The “Finish” Prompt: Once ended, the AI delivers a structured summary and a list of to-dos.
- Instant Deliverable: The user selects an output (e.g., “Draft a Social Media Campaign”) and Manus executes it using the meeting’s specific context.

Availability and Credit System
The feature is now available to all Manus users (Free, Pro, and Team).
- Recording is Free: Users can record as many meetings as they want without consuming credits.
- Analysis Costs Credits: The actual AI “thinking” required to summarize the meeting and generate follow-up assets consumes Manus credits, varying by the length and complexity of the discussion.
Conclusion: The “Meeting-to-Market” Pipeline
By integrating real-time voice capture with its autonomous browser and design capabilities, Manus is attempting to eliminate the “post-meeting lag.” For startups and fast-moving teams, this means a 60-minute brainstorming session can result in a live teaser website or a refined project plan before the participants have even left the room.
