Manus × Vibecoding: Consulting Hackathon

Manus × Vibecoding: Consulting Hackathon A 1-week online hackathon building AI-powered tools for consulting use cases. Sponsored by Manus. What is this? A week to build something useful. Participants get Manus Pro access and use it to vibecode AI-powered tools that solve real problems consultants face. Go as wide or as niche as you want — market sizing, expert interviews, stakeholder management, client deliverable automation, or something specific to an industry. As long as it's a relevant consulting use case, it counts. At the end of the week, you submit a short video walkthrough and share what you built (GitHub repo or shared Manus session). A panel of judges scores submissions and winners get prizes from Manus. Timeline 🗓 Thu 26 March — Pre-kickoff. Manus Pro access provisioned for all confirmed participants. 🚀 Fri 27 March — Kick-off.
