How we built a data agent with Manus to help every team make better decisions

Manus's four-person data team built a data agent on Manus that more than 40 people now use weekly, with roughly 2–3 questions per person on average and heavy users asking a dozen or more a day. The agent connects directly to detailed data and relies on a knowledge base of metric definitions and table relationships, with access split by topic and approval requests automated when users need data they can't see. The team says it took about a week to reach a first working version and that Manus handles the agent infrastructure, letting them focus on data and business context.
