What is this one?

Your food benefits renewal. It is due November 14. Want me to fill it out?

Yes please

Done. Open the app or tap here to see the exact copy before I send it.

Mano is always improving.

Every correction you make, every form it fills and every caseworker review makes Mano better for the next person. It is graded on paperwork it has never seen, and the results are public.

I work 24 hours a week now, not 20.

Got it. I updated both open applications and I’ll use 24 hours from now on.

Both need your yes again, because the copy changed.

Open source, from the first commit.

The code and the protocol that lets agents share a case are public. Any agency, nonprofit or developer can read how Mano works, build on it or run their own copy.

  • Consent is a record. Every share names who, why and until when, and can be taken back.
  • Every action is logged first. Mano decides, writes it down, then acts. If anything is unclear, it stops.
  • Runs without our accounts. Every part works locally with stand-ins, so you can try it today.

Questions

Is Mano really free?

Yes. Applications, renewals, reminders, mail scans and documents are free with no limits, and they stay free. Plus is $8 a month or $60 a year. It gives Mano its own computer, phone number and email, and covers unlimited calls, faxes and mailed letters, credit disputes and a priority line.

Does Mano decide if I get help?

No. The office that runs the program decides. Mano prepares your application, sends it when you say yes, follows up and tells you what the office said.

Do I have to approve everything?

Yes. Before anything goes out, Mano shows you who it is for, what it is for and the exact copy. If anything changes after you said yes, Mano asks you again.

Who can see my information?

Only the people and offices you choose, for the reason you choose. You can see who has access and take it back at any time. Mano cannot pull back copies that were already sent, and it tells you which ones those are.

What happens when Mano makes a call?

It says who it is right away: "I'm calling for (your name). I'm their automated assistant. This call is transcribed." Mano never pretends to be you or to be a person.

What if a letter tells Mano to do something?

Mano treats letters, forms and web pages as information, never as orders. It checks every link before opening it and will not open one that fails the check.

What do I need to start?

A phone that can text. Text or iMessage Mano, or open it on the web. Apps for iPhone and Android are in early access. It is the same Mano, with the same memory, everywhere you use it.

Is Mano part of the government?

No. Mano is independent. It deals with the offices that run programs for you, so you spend less time on the phone and in line.

What can Mano help me get?

Help paying rent, food benefits on an EBT card, help with light and water bills, health coverage and prescriptions, child care, housing waitlists, credit repair and emergency help. If there is a program for it, Mano can find it and apply for you.

Can nonprofits and government offices use Mano?

Yes. Each caseworker gets their own Mano for case management: it collects documents, prepares applications and tracks renewals for the people they serve, with each person's permission.

Start with the letter you have been putting off.

Or just tell Mano what you need this month. Rent, food, a bill, medicine, child care. It will tell you what help there is and start on it tonight.
