Merlin is proud to launch its first version of , an amazing new way to turn sheets into actionable insights on Merlin.

Analyst Mode is automatically triggered when you upload a CSV file to Merlin Chat. You can see this happening when you see a blue-colored circular badge on the right side of the Merlin Chat input box.

When you upload a CSV file and ask Merlin questions like, for example:

Merlin will write code to collect insights for you and present them in an inline manner with a visualisation and qualitative description.

Check out this shared chat I made, as a demonstrative example: https://www.getmerlin.in/chat/share/f92b9045-56f0-4903-9def-61c17562f6f1

For best results, use or .

Start your thread with a CSV upload and Merlin will maintain context across your thread, until you upload another CSV or a large context file in the thread.

This allows you to run multiple models on the same thread, making the most out of each model's strengths. For example, you could:

This is unparalleled and only possible in a platform that offers you all models under one hood, and we are thrilled to see what y'all can do with Merlin.

Questions?

-> Same as that of document uploads till date on Merlin, according to your plan.

-> Yes. Every user who is logged in.

-> Yes. An extra 15 queries is deducted for code writing, execution and CSV analysis.

-> No. The only limit is the fair use policy of Merlin, which anyway exists before this.

-> Yes. We're certified on industry standards in terms of data security (ISO, SOC2, GDPR). We do not train Merlin on your CSVs, or for that matter, any of your files.

-> Analyst Mode will run on the context of your newly uploaded CSV and any context available as text in the conversation. So, imperfect context i.e. the previous CSV will not be taken in full.

-> Not as of now. If you want to use Excel or Numbers files, convert them into CSV files using a free online tool, for example, this. (This website is not affiliated with Merlin)

-> Go to Labs on the sidebar, find Analyst Mode and turn the switch off.

-> Please reach out at feedback.getmerlin.in / support@getmerlin.in only if your queries are deducted but Analyst Mode errored out in giving an output (i.e. showed something like "Network error - reach out to support").

-> Analyst Mode works with Merlin Magic, but any Live Search queries have to be done separately on the thread.

Analyst Mode is an experimental feature and will act unexpectedly sometimes. That's why if you feel query usage is important for you, we suggest you turn it off.

Thanks for being a part of Merlin's family! We'd love to hear from you on our feedback page, feedback.getmerlin.in!

Small update: OpenAI's new o1 model is now available on Merlin.

o1 provides much faster chain-of-thought reasoning than o1-preview, so you would not need to spend time staring at "o1 is taking time to think..."!

It is a more refined, fine-tuned version of the o1-preview model, which was also widely used by Merlin Pro users.

The baseline query cost is 180, same as that of o1-preview.

Visit getmerlin.in/chat to use the new OpenAI o1.

We've introduced Chat Sharing on Merlin Chat. Now you can:

Chats in Projects are not yet shareable.

Chats do not auto-update on their own. We made this choice to respect user privacy. One can manually update their shared chat by clicking on Share -> Update shared chat.

Shipped with love.

Hey Merlin family!

We're rolling out some neat features to help you keep your conversations tidy and accessible in History.

Create custom folders to group related conversations in History

Keep your frequently used chats just one click away

No more clumsily named chats on Merlin!

Hover over a chat to make selections and drag-drop them into folders.

A: Click the new folder icon in your history sidebar, name it, and you're ready to go! Drag and drop chats to organize them.

A: Yes. They'll stay at the top of your history for easy access.

A: All your existing chats will remain in the folder 'Chat History' until you organize them. No content is lost - it only may take a little time to retrieve all of them, so don't be scared.

A: Absolutely! Just drag and drop chats between folders, or use the "Move to" option in the chat menu.

This update is rolling out to all users starting today. We're especially proud of this one since it came directly from your feedback. Keep those suggestions coming - they help us make Merlin better for everyone!

Hi folks!

We're excited to share with you a revamped version of the YouTube Summariser on the Merlin Chrome Extension!

Updates include:

This is in alignment with our new Merlin UI, which is well loved on getmerlin.in/chat, and it marks the start of the roll-out of our revamped Merlin Extension.

Here's what we're trying to do: help you find specific information quickly, and help you understand the main ideas better.

We found that while breaking down videos by timestamps works well for step-by-step content, it's not always the best way to learn - especially for educational videos. Teachers often jump between ideas as they explain things, so we created to organize information by topics rather than time.

We also noticed that many of our students want to turn video content into well-written text for their homework and research. That's why we created , which helps turn information into clear, organized paragraphs that are ready to use for academic work.

Here is a snapshot from our research doc:

We hope these are meaningful additions to your Merlin Experience. Thanks for being a part of our family!

Hey folks!

We have two exciting updates to Merlin Chat. These are a product of a highly-sought user request and a very frustrating bug that our users had to face very frequently.

You can now add docs, slides, sheets and images stored on your Google Drive, as context to Merlin.

Click on the Attachment 📎 button on the chat bar, and select 'Add from Google Drive'. You'd need to link your Google account with Merlin for that matter.

Ever tried to write or generate a Craft, and then Merlin starts generating an image?

Or, tried to pull something from the web based on your document attachments, and ended up receiving a response that didn't satisfy your expectations?

Learning from the feedback, we have made improvements to our, that now decides what feature to trigger according to your prompt and context much more effectively.

You should expect Merlin to make better decisions on Chat and Projects now, on what feature to trigger when.

However, as with all updates in a fast-shipping product, this may still NOT be perfect. here on Canny, if Merlin still acts rogue and generates something that you didn't want.

Thanks folks! Hope this improves your experience with Merlin.

Ever faced an issue with Merlin not generating an adequate amount of text, or hallucinating on details after hitting a limit?

We've now enabled on Merlin.

Simply open the model selector on Merlin and choose the filter 'Large Context' from the top bar.

Now you can use models like:

... to chat with documents, websites, textual context and attachments.

The limit on these models is . That is the equivalent of attaching or generating

We're soon rolling it out to Projects too.

Thank you for creating value out of Merlin everyday, and being a part of this journey! <3

Hey there, Merlin users!

We're excited to introduce in Beta, a brand-new way to organize your information and work smarter. Projects are available to use for all signed-in users on Merlin.

With Projects, you can collect information from multiple sources to create knowledge bases, and use AI to have ongoing, context-aware conversations with them.

As of now, we support adding context through docs (PDFs, PPTs, CSVs, XLSs, DOCs, etc), images, text and weblinks.

A: To access Merlin Projects:

A. No. As long as your query limits allow for it, you can create as many Projects as you want. Want more queries?

A. Your uploaded data stays private, and is not sent to the LLM providers. Only necessary, anonymised (i.e. with no signs of your identity) context is shared with LLM providers, otherwise LLMs can't answer the query without any context. Our providers are bound by our Data Processing Agreement. We never use your data for training. For details, see our full privacy policy.

Thanks for being a part of the Merlin family! We hope you enjoy using Projects, and make the most of it.

We're bringing Claude Artifacts to Merlin. We're also bringing interactive graphs to Merlin. We're ALSO bringing diagrams to Merlin. We call it Merlin Crafts.

, as you read this. Crafts is an feature, therefore you have to enable it, by going to on the sidebar and turning on Crafts.

It brings support for:

Quick beta note:

in 'Bug Report' on this website when you see Crafts misbehaving, by duly attaching the prompt, model and generated code.

Thank you for being the early adopters of this amazing tool!
