Built a mvp / prototype with Manus?
We'll make it production-ready.
You built a prototype with an AI tool and it works — on your machine, with your test data, for the happy path. Now you need real users to validate your idea. The goal isn't perfection — it's getting to a state where real people can use it safely and reliably. That means fixing the critical gaps without over-engineering.
MVP / Prototype challenges in Manus apps
Building a mvp / prototype with Manus is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
Identifying what actually needs fixing
Not everything needs to be production-grade for an MVP. The challenge is knowing which shortcuts are acceptable (visual polish, advanced features) and which aren't (security, data loss, broken core flows). Our audit prioritizes fixes by impact.
Security minimum
Even an MVP handles user data. You need authentication that works, data isolated per user, no exposed secrets, and HTTPS. You don't need enterprise-grade security, but you need the basics done right.
Deployment
Your app runs locally but deploying it involves environment variables, domain configuration, SSL, and build optimization. First-time deployment is where most AI prototypes hit unexpected issues.
Error handling
When something goes wrong (and it will), your users should see a helpful message — not a white screen or a raw error. Basic error handling is the difference between 'this app is buggy' and 'something went wrong, please try again.'
Core flow reliability
Your main user flow (signup → core action → outcome) must work every time. Edge cases in secondary flows can wait, but the core path needs to be solid for your MVP to generate valid learnings.
What we check in your Manus mvp / prototype
Common Manus issues we fix
Beyond mvp / prototype-specific issues, these are Manus patterns we commonly fix.
Autonomous security decisions without human review
Manus configures authentication, sets file permissions, and chooses security-sensitive patterns autonomously. These decisions are made without context about your threat model and may be inadequate for your use case.
Unknown packages installed without vulnerability audit
Manus installs dependencies autonomously from web research and may choose packages with known CVEs, low maintenance status, or malicious forks. There is no automatic supply chain security check.
Outdated patterns sourced from web research
Manus browses the web to inform implementation decisions. It can pull code patterns, library versions, and architectural approaches from outdated blog posts or Stack Overflow answers.
Compounding errors from autonomous iteration
When Manus encounters errors, it iterates autonomously to fix them. Early wrong decisions get built upon, embedding architectural mistakes that become expensive to unwind.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a mvp / prototype with Manus?
Manus is a great starting point for a mvp / prototype. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but mvp / prototype apps have specific requirements — identifying what actually needs fixing and security minimum — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Manus leave in mvp / prototype apps?
Common issues include: autonomous security decisions without human review, unknown packages installed without vulnerability audit, outdated patterns sourced from web research. For a mvp / prototype specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for identifying what actually needs fixing.
How do I make my Manus mvp / prototype production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Manus-built mvp / prototype apps, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to fix a Manus-built mvp / prototype?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger mvp / prototype projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
