Merlin

This once-great product has slowly, without explanation, become a credit hog.

Now it barely works at all - it just sputters for hours when "thinking" about a prompt.
The behavior and lack of response from the company reminds me of Reelcraft. If you haven't been using your copy, keep an eye on it because where there is smoke, there is fire.

I guess LLMs are not the way to go on Appsumo. It seems to attract calculating vendors with bad intent. In fact, there is another "playground"-like product I bought at the top tier that has done nothing wrong to date, but I am refunding it because I just feel that these deals are not safe.

I want to be clear, AppSumo is a great company and has honored its "got your back" promises, and beyond. Most of the products are great. Even Rumble Studio, which was on years ago, notified AppSumo customers of a massive update that grandfathered us into.

But kinds of vendors in the LLM and Text to Talk industries are not panning out as they draw thieves and flies. I think I'll stick to the course publishing and LinkedIn search vendors.
