​This isn't another AI meetup. It's three hours to build something real.

​Whether you're a complete beginner, an experienced AI user, a founder, creative, healthcare professional, student, or technical builder, you'll have a clear place to start—and room to take your project as far as you want.

​Bring an idea, an existing project, or simply a problem you want to solve.

​Use Manus to research, plan, design, build, code, automate, and iterate toward a real first version you can actually use.

​You could leave with:

• ​🌐 A website

• ​📱 An app

• ​🤖 An AI agent

• ​🎮 A game

• ​📊 A business or healthcare tool

• ​🎨 A creative project

• ​✨ Or something completely unexpected

​No coding required. No startup required. Half-built ideas are welcome.

​Beginners will have guided pathways and hands-on support. More experienced builders can push further with advanced workflows, automations, integrations, agents, and technical experimentation.

​What You'll Leave With

​✨ A working first version

​🚀 Something you can actually test or share

​🤖 AI workflows that continue working after the event

​🤝 New builder connections

​💡 Clear next steps for your project

​🌯 Complimentary dinner

​🥤 Drinks + dessert

​🎁 5,000 complimentary Manus credits

​🛠️ Hands-on support

​🤝 Austin builder community

​Small Room. Real Building.

​Attendance is intentionally limited to 25 builders so everyone has room to build, ask questions, collaborate, and receive support.

​When the room fills, registrations will move to a waitlist.

​What Is Manus?

​Manus is a general AI agent designed to turn thoughts into action.

​Unlike a traditional chatbot, Manus can research, plan, analyze, code, build, and complete multi-step work.

​You give it a task, let it work, then return to review and guide the result.

​The name Manus comes from MIT's motto, Mens et Manus — "Mind and Hand."

​You bring the idea.

​Manus brings another set of hands.

​Let's see what we can build in one night.

​This independent community event is hosted by Peyton Webster in her role as a Manus Fellow.
