Make a small playable game from one idea
The poster gave Manus 2.0 a single idea: an open-world game where music is your weapon. He says it built the 3D world, characters, combat, music and sound effects, then tested and published the game, which you can play from his post.
A first flight search ran for 16 hours and picked a poor option
The first time the poster tried Manus, she asked it to find flights. It worked for 16 hours and came back with what she calls probably the most expensive option, with a 9-hour layover.
