Merlin is a powerful AI-powered chatbot assistant that works seamlessly across devices and browser environments and can truly enhance productivity and creativity. With a free plan, users have access to leading AI models such as GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, and more in a single interface. Merlin will ensure that you research smarter—it can summarize web pages, transcribe and extract key points from YouTube videos, and allow you to "chat with" uploaded documents such as PDFs or slide decks. Merlin has a browser extension that can be summoned anywhere with a keyboard shortcut (so you can get AI help anytime) and lets you create your own dedicated "Projects" or knowledge bases, saving you from having to create your own context every time. Merlin has added "Crafts" that will allow you to create infographics or code snippets, diagrams, or visual content in a hurry and can help you write emails, blog posts, and social media copy with the added benefit of being able to integrate AI tools directly into Gmail, LinkedIn, and more. With generous free-tier queries (and paid subscriptions to extend use), Merlin is a powerful AI assistant suitable for students, creators, business professionals, and anyone looking to work smarter.
