My thoughts on the messy reality of home robotics: Are We Actually Ready to Invite Robots Into Our Homes?

This memory thing isn't just a feature... it's platform lock-in disguised as convenience

Is it worth it? Depends on your use case. Full honest breakdown including when Manus wins vs when Zapier/Claude are better choices.

But it's SLOW (15-20 min tasks) and EXPENSIVE (burned 900 credits on single tasks).
The killer feature? Scheduling. Run complex research overnight while you sleep. Wake up to completed reports.

Building in public means sharing what actually works, not just what sounds good in theory.

Is it overkill? Maybe. But for building genuinely autonomous systems that actually DO things... it's working.

Manus handles strategic autonomous reasoning

Claude powers sophisticated content and analysis

Zapier executes reliable operational integrations

Total cost: ~$266-296/month

Zapier Agents ($50/month) ✅ 8,000+ native app integrations that just work ✅ Predictable costs and reliable execution ❌ Needs explicit instructions for everything ❌ Less sophisticated reasoning

My solution? A hybrid architecture where:

Claude Agents ($50-80/month) ✅ Best-in-class writing and content generation ✅ Sophisticated reasoning for complex tasks ❌ Requires coding skills to leverage fully ❌ Less autonomous than Manus

Manus AI ($166/month) ✅ Incredible autonomous reasoning - it INFERS what to do from context ✅ Real-time visibility into everything it's doing ❌ Burns through credits fast ❌ Expensive for side projects

Simple tool, but many vibe coding servieces failed to create it.
