Manus Academy Just Launched — Get Free Credits Before the 500 Spots Fill Up
One-Line Flow: Sign up → Start “Manus Fundamentals” → Speedrun the 2-hour course → Get 8,000 free credits (~$100 value) → Profit.
The Deal
Manus AI (that fancy autonomous AI agent everyone hyped) is giving away 8,000 Pro credits to the first 500 people who complete any course on their new Academy.
That’s roughly $80-100 worth of AI credits. For free. For watching some videos.
Academy Link: https://academy.manus.im
Fastest Path (Speedrun Mode)
Pick this course: Manus Fundamentals
Why? It’s the only beginner-level course. Same 2-hour duration as the “Advanced” ones, but way less brain damage.
Steps:
- Go to https://academy.manus.im
- Login (Google/email works)
- Enroll in Manus Fundamentals
- Watch the short “build-along” videos
- Complete the course
- Check your email for Pro credits confirmation
The videos are short demos, not boring lectures. Try 1.5x-2x speed if the player allows it.
Stack More Credits (Big Brain Moves)
Don’t stop at 8K. Stack these:
| Source | Credits | How |
|---|---|---|
| Course completion | 8,000 | First 500 only |
| New account signup | 1,000 | One-time bonus |
| Daily refresh | 300 | Resets at midnight |
| Referral codes | 500-1,500 | Hunt on Reddit/TikTok |
| Student? | Free tier | https://manus.im/edu |
Potential haul: 10,000+ credits if you’re not lazy.
Reality Check
The Ugly Truth About Credits
Here’s what Manus doesn’t advertise loudly:
- Credits burn FAST. Users report 1,000 credits gone in under 30 minutes on complex tasks
- A simple chart = ~200 credits
- A research report = 500-800 credits
- A web app = ~900 credits
So your 8,000 credits = roughly 10-40 tasks depending on complexity. Not infinite. Plan wisely.
Trustpilot rating is 1.6/5 btw. Mostly complaints about credit consumption. You’ve been warned.
Important Notes
- No public counter for the 500 spots — could be gone anytime
- Academy launched Dec 19, 2025 — still fresh, probably spots left
- Works globally except China (blocked since July 2025)
- Available in English, Japanese, Portuguese
Summary
- Register NOW at https://academy.manus.im
- Complete “Manus Fundamentals” (~2 hours, maybe less if you speedrun)
- Collect 8,000 free credits
- Use a referral code when signing up for Manus itself for bonus credits
- Don’t blow all your credits on one fancy task
First 500 only. Clock’s ticking. Go get your bag.
