It has the same problems as most other AI systems

1) Claims feel a little inflated (10+ h saved) and that hurts credibility everywhere. How do you know it's 10 hours when you don't even convince me that you know what I spend 10 hours a week on. If you nailed this properly, you'd have the Manus effect - people would immediately start declaring it a fake and discrediting it everywhere.

2) Price is vague and excessive. What's a credit? Why is it USDC? Everyone seems to do this vagueness, including OpenAI (free for minimal use, go for more use, plus for morer use, max for maximum use). I appreciate the transparency and get that it's anchored to hiring humans. Sellers will sell it as "Starting from $49/month!" but buyers will read it as "Up to $499/month!"

3) This is an extremely high anchor then. If it were a problem, I'd just build it myself or ask ChatGPT to. How do I know something like Manus doesn't already do it? And since the site itself is lazy, how do I know it's not just an API connected to a Ralph Wiggum loop?

The core problem is (1) though, it adds up and amplifies the other two.
