Pretty Nifty Little tool

My favorite thing is that I have all my Ai powers in one place. I haven't quite mastered all it's capabilities ut so far so good.

Just wow!

Since I have bought Merlin, I have been using it every day. I love the ease of use and the outcomes that are made. Sure, sometimes I need to tweak something. And that's okay.

This is saving me so much time, I stacked to license tier 3. Not because I think I need the limits, just because I am truly happy with Merlin!

Number One Productivity Tool?

Merlin AI is one of those tools that you can use right out of the box. It's beautiful on the eye, very tidy, looks polished, and easy to access.

Merlin AI is great for starter users but also has more in-depth features for pros.

For a lot of features, there are helpful guides and videos.

Merlin has a whole selection of delightful features that makes productivity a walk in the path.

You can do anything from scraping a website, chatting with a youtube video, using built AI Tools, creating your own chatbot, generating images, using different ai models, using crafts which uses a claude like setup where you can generate code and preview or edit it in real time.

Merlin AI has an active community and a great team.

They have a very productive roadmap. There is even a Merlin Mobile App. The features are less, but I'm sure they will upgrade it regularly.

I have created an in depth Video Review on YouTube if you'd like to check it out.

There are other great tools that are similar like Triplo AI, Voilà, Typingmind, and Harpa, they are all excellent as well.

I would say grab Merlin if you want things on a plate as it's a joy to use, and they have been around for a while, so they're not going anywhere.

Merlin is simplistic but also feature rich.

Oh, let's not forget about the generous amount of credits you get plus your own use of OpenAI API key.

Merlin will probably be back in the future on Appsumo, but I'd grab it now as it makes life a lot easier. Just don't rely solely on it :)

The web and mobile worked fine when logged in, but not the extension.

https://www.getmerlin.in/chat and Merlin app on iPhone worked.
The extension does not detect that I logged in and still showed a 100 credit limit instead of the tier 2 that I bought which is 12,000 credit.

Merlin AI: Your Smart Digital Sidekick

Merlin AI is a brilliantly implemented tool that augments your browser search with intuitive prompts and offers an exceptional YouTube summarization feature, saving you time and enhancing your content consumption. Its browser extension is notably fulsome, adept at choosing the best Large Language Model for your queries, and comes with a commendable mobile app. While the OpenAI API integration is currently extension-exclusive and requires some learning curve, the overall value for money is outstanding, particularly if you're savvy with LLM selection. Merlin AI is not just a tool; it's a smart digital companion that elevates your online experience.

It is a great tool

Even after I purchased Merlin, I still mostly used Chat GPT. However, as I explored it more, I realized how powerful Merlin is. I have now started using it more regularly and I really like it.

It gets 5 tacos from me.

Unreliable AI Features and Random Credit System—Merlin Needs a Serious Overhaul

I recently started using the Merlin application with high expectations for its AI capabilities, but I encountered several frustrating issues. The "Summarize any YouTube video" feature doesn't function as advertised; instead of providing a summary, it redirects me to the YouTube video itself. Similarly, the "Summarize any blog in seconds" feature redirects me to a blog platform instead of generating a summary.

To make matters worse, the credit system is completely random. While it initially worked fine, it suddenly started consuming 20 times more credits for the same operations, which is both baffling and unacceptable.

Given that the AI tools are not functioning as advertised, it raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of the existing reviews praising the application—they seem highly questionable, if not outright fake.

I reached out to the team for assistance and hope for a prompt resolution, but at this point, the application's functionality and credibility leave much to be desired. I urge the developers to address these critical issues immediately.

Good Potential, Terrible Support

Merlin is actually a pretty solid tool with many useful features. The pricing is reasonable, and for the most part, it does what it promises.

But—and it's a big but—be ready for some occasional hiccups like random bugs and crashes.

Which leads to the real deal-breaker: their support is an absolute disaster.

The chat support folks are friendly enough, but they basically can't solve anything. When you hit a real problem, they'll escalate it to the technical team, which it's like sending a message into a black hole. If they do reply, it's usually a super lazy one-line response that comes a week later and does absolutely nothing to fix your actual problem. It's like they're doing the absolute minimum to pretend they care.

Bottom line: Merlin has potential, but their support turns what could be a good tool into a complete headache. Save yourself the headache and check out other alternatives.

A valuable tool for me. I'm on tier 1.

I like the summary feature on Google Search and YouTube.

I like the AI reply features on social media like X. It does need to provide better replies though.

I like the ability to refine prompts using prompt scientist and ability to create custom chatbots.

I really like and use the native Android app.

I think the UI can be simplified as I find it clunky.

I highly recommend it. Try it and decide if it fits your workflow.

Awful Support / Customer Service

I have been going back and forth with Support, primarily Pritam and it's been frustrating.

My question is simple - what is the value of my current usage in my Pro account? Pritam has not provided me with the answer after several emails.

Pritam's last email said that the value of GPT 3.5 is $0.004 per use and I should now use that to go calculate it myself.

Ummm... thank you?

And... umm... how do I calculate that when 99.9% of my queries have been GPT 4o?

Is it really that difficult to calculate it and tell me "Based on the number of queries you've done to date, it is estimated to be $___ if you were to pay based on usage."

One of the great deal I have made on AppSumo!

I wasn’t aware before how much AI assistance could help me with my tasks and daily needs. I got curious about Merlin after seeing so many discussions on social media and forums where everyone was talking about it. I decided to check what made Merlin so popular and came back to it after some research to see if it was useful for me.

Honestly, I was a bit unsure before buying it. I worried about losing my investment or wasting my time learning something I might not even use. But now, I can confidently say that purchasing Merlin was the right decision.

Merlin has truly replaced my ChatGPT subscription. It’s so much more versatile, and I’ve been using it every day for a variety of tasks. The tool offers multiple AI models, and I didn't knew before that each AI Model is designed for specific purposes, which makes it even better:

- Opus is fantastic for storytelling and creative writing.
- 01 is perfect for drafting quick emails or SMS.
- Mistral Large helps me analyze and understand trends and data effectively.

I also tried Bonker by Merlin and have used 1/5 of my total credit in one day. Ohhh its just wonderful deal for me. I can now handle so many things at one platform... truly amazing experience I have with this tool.

It has so many features that take me go far beyond what ChatGPT alone can do for me.

Merlin has quickly become a problem solver and a life-saver tool for me. It simplifies my daily work, saves me a lot of time, and boosts my productivity. I truly believe that every professional, especially those relying on ChatGPT, should have this tool.

The only bad thing is that it offers only 20000 credit, it should offer at least 50000 credit deal on AppSumo. If it will really happen in future I will be the first to buy it.

This is one of the best investments I’ve made in a long time, and I highly recommend it to anyone considering it. Merlin is worth every penny!
