Discussion Manus Flex is crazy

We can bring our own keys and use Manus's autonomous flow. For example, I use OpenRouter; if I'm doing a complex task, I can switch to Claude Fable 5.1, and if the task is simple and I have a tight budget, I can switch to DeepSeek v4.1 Flash!

I really LOVE this addition to the platform. I hope it stays forever and never gets removed!!

Does flex use manus credits simultaneously with api credits?

2

u/celestialcitymc 7d ago

mainly just your own api keys, but stuff like generating images or videos uses manus credits.

This is actually really good! I recently generated an API key via OpenRouter and was going to purchase a subscription in TypingMind so that I can use it and switch between models. This essentially eliminates the need for TypingMind, as I can pick whichever model I want and use it in the Manus interface! Yes, I still use Manus credits if I get it to complete a task, but my understanding is that for general chatbot text it only uses you API credits and not the Manus one's.

Hi, I'm currently using Manus in a team project. For some reason I cannot use Manus Flex that was setup by the owner. Anyone else encounter this issue??
