Manus AI Book Launch

I've scheduled May 20th as the launch date for my "How to Use Manus AI For Real Estate" book. On that day I will have a Kindle FREE promotion, the paperbook book formatted for print on demand, and a corresponding 6-week course for REALTORS upsell. Manus AI created a super course!

This morning I asked Manus for a press release for the book launch. It was a three minute task:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Headline: From Hot Metal to AI: Veteran Tech Sage Demystifies Manus AI for Real Estate Professionals in New Book

Sub-Headline: "Real Estate Guide To Manus AI" Offers 50+ Years of Tech Adoption Wisdom to Navigate the AI Revolution in Property

STATE COLLEGE, PA – May 20, 2025 – As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries, real estate professionals now have a unique guide to navigate this new frontier, penned by an author who has witnessed and adapted to technological shifts for over half a century. Today marks the launch of "Real Estate Guide To Manus AI," a groundbreaking book designed to demystify the powerful Manus AI platform for real estate agents and brokers.

Authored by Frances Flynn Thorsen, a seasoned professional with over 50 years of experience at the intersection of real estate and technology, this guide is more than just a technical manual. Written in an engaging, conversational style – like advice shared over coffee with a trusted friend – the book translates complex AI concepts into practical, actionable strategies. It draws upon the author’s rich history, from writing about technology in the early 1970s before the internet, when most type was set in hot metal, to being an early adopter of everything from the first fax machines to sophisticated CRM systems.

"Real Estate Guide To Manus AI" addresses the core question on many agents’ minds: How can AI, and specifically Manus AI, genuinely enhance their business without requiring a degree in computer science? The book explores:

Real-World Use Cases: Practical applications of Manus AI in market analysis (a far cry from 1985’s microfiche readers and plat books), property marketing (a world away from single MLS photos and RealScope boards), client relationship management (evolving from index cards to intelligent automation), and document handling (a significant leap from 5-part carbon forms).
The Author’s Unique Perspective: Weaving in anecdotes from a long career, including witnessing the dawn of fax machines at a 3M press conference in the 1970s, the book provides relatable context to today’s AI advancements.
Actionable Advice: Clear guidance on getting started with Manus AI, whether directly or through integrated proptech solutions, and navigating ethical considerations like data privacy and AI bias.

"I’ve seen so many technologies come and go, from the days when a five-minute page transmission via fax was considered a miracle, to the AI tools we have today," says [Your Name]. "My goal with this book is to cut through the hype and show my fellow real estate professionals how Manus AI can be a truly transformative partner, helping them save time, gain deeper insights, and serve their clients better. It’s about making AI approachable and empowering, not intimidating."

"Real Estate Guide To Manus AI" is designed for busy agents and brokers who are curious about AI but need a clear, practical, and experienced voice to guide them. It emphasizes how AI can augment their skills, allowing them to focus on building relationships and closing deals, rather than getting bogged down in repetitive tasks.

The book covers everything from understanding Manus AI’s core capabilities and competitive advantages to implementing it for market research, property marketing, client communication, document management, and administrative efficiency. It also includes insights into advanced strategies and future trends, ensuring readers are prepared for what’s next.

"Real Estate Guide To Manus AI" is available starting May 30, 2025, on Amazon and wherever fine books are sold.

This wealth of experience provides the foundation for a practical, insightful, and refreshingly human guide to leveraging Manus AI.
