Phone stores to check if items are in stock
Poster tried Manus on several tasks including calling stores to check stock; every task failed and it made no calls.
What they did
In the Reddit post, the user says they tested Manus Lite on several agent-style errands, including asking it to check whether a product was in stock by calling local stores. Instead of placing calls, Manus appears to have relied on other methods and returned wrong availability information; the user verified at least one result themselves and found the item was not actually in stock.
How it went
The stock-check task failed: Manus reported an item was available when it was not, and it made no phone calls despite being asked. The broader takeaway in the post is that all of the user’s trial tasks failed on the free tier.
Worth knowing
The only concrete caveat given is that this was done on Manus Lite, the free tier.
