Method:
How we verify

Evidence: Described by posterThe person describes what happened in words, without screenshots or video.

FailureThe source says the agent did not get the job done.

What went wrong: Delivered plain copy-pasted text; a retry changed only the background and font.

Outcome

Asked to create a professional PDF brochure from the poster's website, Manus browsed and analyzed the site but delivered what was essentially copy-paste into a plain Google Doc; after feedback it only added a coloured first-page background and a different font, and the poster cancelled.

Prompt Improved prompt

Strengthened by us to avoid the problem in the source. Not tested by the poster. It doesn't change what happened in the source.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Turn my website into a designed brochure I can send to clients.

Quick-check questions: Who's it for, how many pages, and what should it make them do?

What I need from you:
- Website link
- Logo, colours and fonts
- Target client and key offers

Rules:
- First propose a page-by-page outline with short headlines. Wait for my OK.
- Rewrite content for print; don't paste website text.
- Use my brand colours and a clear layout with images.
- Show a 1-page sample before doing all pages.
- Use only text and images from my site; don't invent claims or statistics.
- Check the PDF opens, the pages are in order and the text isn't cut off.

Output: An outline, a sample page, then the full PDF.

If my answers leave a gap, make a sensible choice, say what you assumed, and keep going.

You'll know it worked when: it looks designed, not like a pasted web page.
The prompt they actually used

The exact prompt from the source.

Go to my website and create a professional PDF brochure I can send to potential clients.
