Manus is an amazing tool. It's cheaper than the popular ones, and it has a great agentic workflow that allows you to build apps and websites without burning through your tokens.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to use Manus Cloud Computer as your own private web crawler that can keep checking the websites you care about around the clock. Instead of asking Manus to manually revisit the same pages every day and waste tokens on repetitive work, you can set up a cloud computer to do the boring monitoring for much cheaper. Manus helps you build the system once, then the crawler keeps watching the site for changes, updates, or new data in the background.
By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to:
Create the cloud computer
Start a task on a cloud computer
Use a crawler prompt
Run it one time before turning it on
Turn it on for 24/7
Let's dig in!
