Key takeaways

The short version.

  • OpinionPulse reports a shift when a recent poll headline and overlapping Polymarket and Kalshi prices point the same way, and it links every source.
  • Manus describes itself as a general-purpose AI agent that works in a sandbox, a virtual computer with internet access and a persistent file system, so it can write a report from several sources in one task.
  • Manus accepts custom MCP servers by HTTPS address and credentials, and its Automations can run a task on a schedule or when an event happens in a connected app.
  • Nothing here is an official listing, partnership or built-in integration with Manus. The MCP connection described below was not tested.
  • A report is a draft. Check every claim against its sources before you share it. OpinionPulse reports public data, not advice or a forecast of how anyone will vote.

  • OpinionPulse says what the sources show.

It is for people who have to explain a change in public opinion to others: communications and public affairs staff, newsroom editors, association and nonprofit staff, researchers and campaign teams who want a short, shareable summary rather than a pile of links.

OpinionPulse looks at three public signals for a topic you name: recent poll headlines, prices on Polymarket and Kalshi, and post volume on X. When a recent poll and the overlapping market prices point the same way, it reports a shift with its direction and links the sources. Manus describes itself as a general-purpose AI agent that completes tasks and delivers results, working in a sandbox with internet access and a persistent file system.

OpinionPulse says what the sources show. Manus can turn that into a short report and keep the source list attached.

Use cases

4 ways people use OpinionPulse + Manus.

  1. Sourced report

    1. A short report with the sources listed

    Give Manus an OpinionPulse result and ask for a one-page report: the topic, the direction of the shift, what the poll and the market prices each show, and a list of the sources with their links.

    Tell it to use only what the result says and to name the source for every statement, so a reader can open each one.

  2. Ready to share

    2. A summary ready to share

    Ask for two versions: a three-sentence note for a message or email, and a fuller page for a briefing. Both carry the same source list.

    Read the report against the sources first. Remove anything Manus added that the sources do not say.

  3. Weekly report

    3. A weekly report on a schedule

    Manus Automations can run work at a time you set, or when an event happens in a connected app. Set one for Monday morning that asks OpinionPulse about your topics and writes the report in the same layout each time.

    Run a test before you rely on it, and check the first few reports against their sources.

  4. No shift

    4. Say plainly when there is no shift

    When the signals do not line up, OpinionPulse does not guess. It returns a code, for example that no poll was found in the window, and a missing number is never shown as zero.

    Ask Manus to repeat that in one honest sentence. OpinionPulse also describes X volume as attention, not as what people think, and the report should keep that distinction.

Manus describes these routes in its custom MCP and Automations pages. The connection was not tested, and menus can change, so follow those pages. OpinionPulse is not listed by Manus or built into it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Is OpinionPulse an official Manus integration?

No. There is no partnership, listing or built-in integration. Manus lets you add a custom MCP server by its address, and you add the app's address yourself. The connection was not tested.

What if the MCP connection does not work?

Use the fallback. Paste an OpinionPulse result into a Manus task and ask for a short report with the sources listed.

Can I share the report as it is?

Check it against its sources first. Web agents can misread or add details, so open each source and remove anything it does not support.

Does OpinionPulse tell us how people will vote?

No. It reports public data from polls, prediction markets and X volume. It is not financial or political advice, a trade recommendation or a prediction of how people will vote.

What does it cost?

The apps are free during the beta. Manus has its own plans, so check its plans page.
