The draft was usable but weaker than accepted NSF summaries; thinking mode helped, though it began hallucinating and misreading the sources.
NSF project summary drafting
The author used Cursor in Agent mode with Claude 3.7 Sonnet and two rules files to draft an NSF Project Summary from two papers.
From one short prompt, Manus produced a publishable-style report with charts from 1,000 synthetic responses. The data is made up.
Synthetic AGI attitudes survey study
Manus planned a survey study on student attitudes to AGI, wrote a Google Apps Script for the form, simulated 1,000 students, and analyzed the data.
A roughly 3,000-line open-source Canvas tool built in four months. It cut a 45-minute weekly student check to a 2-minute conversation with Claude.
Canvas LMS tool via MCP
Claude Code co-developed a Canvas LMS MCP server with an educator who is not a developer, covering courses, grading, analytics, and student data anonymization.
Cowork ran the script, fixed an error itself, and returned finished output files with no terminal or manual dependency setup from the author.
Receipt processing in Cowork
Claude Cowork processed a PDF purchasing card receipt, extracting data and producing a cover sheet for the author's TPS report, running its own Python script.
Roughly two dozen decks were rebuilt into Quarto reveal.js with speaker notes and refresh checklists, and the approach was reused for two more courses.
Course modernization with agent fleets
Claude Code turned course evaluations into tracked GitHub issues, then ran agents to rebuild assignments, exams and about two dozen slide decks.
