Find outperforming YouTube videos and newsletter advertisers
Observed in the wild: the builder ran two research tasks in Manus at the same time. One had it browse YouTube for AI-tool videos from the last month that beat their channel size on views. Manus returned a trends summary and a spreadsheet of advertisers with ad copy and contact details.

Why it matters
Email is where a lot of admin quietly piles up. An agent that can read, sort, draft and follow up turns an inbox from a to-do list into something closer to a summary. It is one of 106 sightings filed under Email & Inbox on Agent Sightings (number 76 by interest), and one of 22 involving Manus.
How you could try it

Go through my mail for this goal: find outperforming YouTube videos and newsletter advertisers. Propose labels, drafts, and unsubscribes as a checklist; change nothing until I approve.
Tip: Start with read-only access or 'draft, don't send', and check a few drafts before trusting it to send anything.
