But let's give an example just so people can wrap their head around it, 'cause you've got a really good example.

Kate VandervortGUEST
So we used to manually, I laugh when I say this, but manually using AI, do this process.

Kate VandervortGUEST
So we would have a potential client come to us, and I would go to Perplexity and I'd say, "Please write a highly optimized prompt for Gemini Deep Research to research this company and this person.

Kate VandervortGUEST
I want to explore what their KPIs might be, what their past tech transformation history is, what their future AI ambitions might be." And so Perplexity will write me the really in-depth prompt.

Kate VandervortGUEST
Gemini Deep Research would then create that whole deep research, so like 30 pages, maybe 40 pages, on all of the bits of information that I need in order to be able to show up and do the first call.

Well, talk to us a little bit about some of the skills that are kind of included with Manus, because I think they have some, and then maybe talk about some of the skills you've created and then any other tips that might come to your mind about skills.
