      "question": "What Is Manus AI?",
      "answer": "Manus AI goes beyond traditional conversational AI. While ChatGPT and Claude respond to your questions in a chat interface, Manus operates inside a sandboxed virtual machine with a real browser, terminal, and file system. It browses websites, writes and executes code, analyzes data, creates documents, builds web apps, and delivers finished results—all from a single prompt. The key difference is autonomy. When you give Manus a task, it doesn't wait for you to guide each step. It generates a plan, breaks it into sub-steps, executes each one, checks outputs for errors, corrects mistakes, and keeps going until the task is done. You can assign a complex research project, walk away, and come back to a finished deliverable. ---"

    {
      "question": "Is Manus AI safe to use with sensitive data?",
      "answer": "Yes, but be careful. While the platform uses encrypted connections, execution happens in a cloud environment. Don't upload production API keys, passwords, or highly confidential customer databases. Use the Team plan if you need assurances that your data won't be used for model training."
    },
    {
      "question": "What happens when I run out of credits?",
      "answer": "If you run out of credits, your active tasks pause. You can wait for your daily refresh credits (300) to reset, wait for your monthly billing cycle to renew, or buy add-on credit packs from your dashboard."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can Manus AI build mobile apps?",
      "answer": "Not natively as a one-click deployment. The Web App Builder is designed for web applications. But Manus can write Dart/Flutter or React Native code, organize it into folders, and export it for you to compile locally. ---"
