Uravation Inc. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Suguru Sato) has launched "Manus Utilization Training," a corporate training program that leverages the autonomous AI agent "Manus." This training program offers practical, hands-on learning on how to master an AI that is distinct from conversational AIs like ChatGPT and Claude—an AI that autonomously completes tasks simply by being given a goal, directly applicable to business operations.
Manus: A Paradigm Shift from "Conversational AI" to "Working AI"
Manus is a new generation AI agent that, once a user sets a goal, autonomously breaks down a series of tasks such as research, document creation, and implementation, and completes them to the end. Unlike conversational AIs that require back-and-forth "instruction → response → further instruction," Manus autonomously executes multiple steps from a single request, offering the potential to dramatically shorten business professionals' working hours.
While traditional generative AI has been a "thinking assistant," Manus is an "active assistant." It delves deeply into work domains previously handled by humans, including market research, competitive analysis, report generation, slide creation, and even simple code generation and data processing. Staff members only need to convey "what they want done" and "what kind of deliverables they expect," and Manus will independently select the necessary tools, conduct research, execute, and present the deliverables.
Background: Why Autonomous AI Agent Training is Needed Now
Since 2024, generative AI has evolved from "copilots (assistants)" to "agents (autonomous executors)." Major AI vendors including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google have all declared "the year of the AI agent," and the use of "conversational AI just for asking questions" is rapidly becoming obsolete.
However, incorporating agent-type AI into business requires a completely different skillset than traditional "prompt engineering." Specifically, it demands business design-level thinking, such as how to break down tasks and delegate them to agents, how to design for risks associated with autonomous execution, and how to ensure the quality of deliverables. This training, using Manus as a case study, systematically teaches the business design skills necessary for the era of autonomous AI agents.
Features of the Training
- **Structure centered on "design capability to entrust work to AI"**: Learning a business design methodology on how to break down tasks and assign them to Manus, rather than just prompt techniques.
- **Presentation of implementation patterns for sales, business planning, and back office**: Introducing "tasks that can be entirely entrusted" through specific case studies, tailored by job type.
- **Failure cases and guardrail design**: Addressing risks unique to autonomous execution (e.g., runaway based on incorrect assumptions, unintended leakage of confidential information) and human checkpoints that should be maintained.
- **Criteria for distinguishing between ChatGPT and Claude**: Gaining criteria for judging when to use conversational AI versus autonomous agents for different business scenarios, rather than entrusting everything to Manus.
- **Support for organizational deployment after training**: Including advice on internal deployment and governance setup post-training.
- **Support for HR Development Subsidy applications**: Partnering with a certified social insurance labor consultant for application assistance, potentially reducing the actual burden to 1/3 to 40%.
Main Business Scenarios Covered
The training covers Manus utilization methods in the following practical scenarios by job type. The subject matter of case studies can be flexibly customized according to the participating company's industry and business.
- **Sales/Sales Planning**: Customer company research before negotiations + proposal draft creation, automatic generation of competitor comparison tables, regular creation of industry trend reports.
- **Marketing**: Market research reports, competitive campaign analysis, automatic generation of content planning proposals, drafting of social media posts.
- **Business Planning/Strategy**: Market size estimation for new businesses, international case study research, drafting of IR materials and board meeting documents.
- **Back Office (General Affairs, HR, Accounting)**: Automation of routine reporting tasks, organization and summarization of internal survey results, automatic structuring of meeting minutes.
- **Development/Engineering Department**: Simple code generation from specifications, technical research, first-pass review of code reviews.
- **Consulting/Research**: Issue structuring, industry reports, cross-source intelligence operations.
Curriculum (Learning Content)
This training consists of the following modules. Based on the standard curriculum, it can be flexibly customized according to the company's business content, target audience, and existing AI literacy. From short sessions to intensive multi-day training, consultations are available to meet specific requests.
