Manus saves pages straight into your Showspace through My Computer in its Mac desktop app, or into a Google Drive folder that syncs to your Mac.
Manus is a general AI agent. It plans and carries out work with many steps, such as research, slides, websites and data analysis, and hands back finished files. People use it for business work as much as for code.
The Manus desktop app for Mac has a feature called My Computer, which lets Manus read and write files in folders you allow. Allow your Showspace and every page Manus saves there appears in lite.computer. Manus also runs on the web, iPhone and Android.

Set it up
Download the Manus desktop app from manus.im/desktop and sign in.
In My Computer, allow your Showspace folder. Approve Manus's requests to work in that folder when it asks.
In lite.computer, click the account button at the bottom of the sidebar (it reads Free trial until you buy), choose Agent Helper, and copy the Setup prompt. Paste it into Manus. It saves a note about where your Showspace is, or gives you the note to keep if it cannot save one. It asks before each step and tells you when it needs your help. If you would rather Manus check first, ask it to read lite.computer/setup instead.
Start a task. Each page Manus saves into your Showspace appears in lite.computer.

Here is a starter prompt. How well it works depends on how your AI is set up, so adjust it to fit yours.
Paste into Manus
Every Monday morning, research the latest news on my three biggest competitors and build an interactive briefing: a tab for each company, a timeline of their announcements that animates in, a sortable table of key numbers, and a generated cover image for each company's tab. Save it as a single self-contained HTML file in my Showspace.
Good to know
Keep your Mac on with the Manus desktop app running, and send Manus a task from your phone. It works in your Showspace on your Mac and saves the page there.
Scheduled tasks let Manus rebuild a page for you on a regular basis, such as a weekly report.
For a Showspace in Google Drive, connect Manus's Google Drive connector and name the folder. Drive syncs each page to your Mac. See Where to put your Showspace.
Manus creates images with Nano Banana Pro and ChatGPT image models. Ask for photos or illustrations in a report, and it builds them into the page.
We have not tested Manus with lite.computer ourselves. These instructions are based on research. Try saving one HTML page to your Showspace first. If a step needs correcting, email hello@lite.computer.
