Feature Requests

I will often request new models or checkpoints that are just released to be added to Merlin, especially if they are more capable and cheaper. However, it's unclear what is the exact models we have access to if there are any updates or checkpoints. I understand that a clean UI is important, but whether the specific model name and release data is shown in the model selection or elsewhere on the site, it's very helpful for your customers to know what is the exact model they are using. Can you please introduce more clarity on the exact models we have access to in Merlin? Thank you very much.

Right now, the web search function is far too limited, it pulls information from only about 10 websites, which often isn't enough for detailed or nuanced prompts. Could you expand this capability and give the model more freedom to decide how many sources to consult based on the complexity of the query? Instead of a fixed cap, let the model determine what’s necessary to produce a high-quality, well-supported response. That would make the research tools far more powerful and flexible.

Noticed that there's a LOT of AI hallucinations when using Merlin. A LOT. Almost like using Google AI is better directly. I have fact checked so much the AI hallucinations in Merlin to date vs Google AI (which is free) and it's astounding how much the Merlin AI is basically just lying, making up data or not citing info correctly despite having access to the www. What can be done about this?

Ever since the agentic version was released, im getting the most empty and off-topic responses.. For instance I asked it a general question about my website(with my link provided), and Merlin said 'it doesn't have access to past conversations so activate it. There's been multiple other instances too, please look into it as its making the use of Merlin very frustrating.

Hi Merlin Team, I really appreciate the YouTube transcript feature in your Chrome extension. It’s super helpful. I’d like to suggest one improvement: the option to download transcripts as a clean, formatted PDF. Here’s the idea: When watching videos like course lectures, it would be helpful to export the transcript as a PDF that includes: The video title The URL Timestamps The full transcript This would give users the ability to download transcripts from multiple videos and combine them into one PDF using free tools. That makes it easier to work with AI tools. A single file avoids the upload and input limits found in many apps. For example, you can upload a 1,000-page textbook without a problem. But if you try to paste all that into a prompt, it usually won’t work. This format also helps AI understand the content better. It could turn your AI into an expert tutor on any topic. You could go beyond the video material, almost like having a conversation with the person who made it. This is great for niche or technical topics where clarity really matters. If you get stuck or need a visual aid, it could point back to the video and timestamp. That lets users jump straight to the part they need to see. TL;DR: A “Download as PDF” option would make the transcript feature even better. It would help students, researchers, and anyone using AI to study or dig deeper into video content. Thanks for considering it. Mike

Dear MERLIN API Team, I am writing to express my deep appreciation for the MERLIN API and to request that you reconsider the decision to discontinue this incredible product. As a loyal user of MERLIN API, I have found it to be an invaluable tool that has greatly enhanced my productivity and efficiency. The ease of integration and the wide range of built-in AI capabilities have been instrumental in helping me achieve my goals. Your product has truly been a game-changer for me. I understand that discontinuing a product is never an easy decision, and there may be various factors that led to this choice. However, I strongly believe that MERLIN API has a unique value proposition that sets it apart from other offerings in the market. Its user-friendly interface and powerful features have made it an essential part of my workflow. While I respect your decision, I kindly request that you consider the impact this discontinuation will have on users like myself who have come to rely on MERLIN API. If there is any possibility of keeping the product available, even with limited support or updates, it would be greatly appreciated by the user community. If the discontinuation is inevitable, I would be grateful if you could provide clear guidance on alternative solutions or recommendations for products that can offer similar functionality. This would help ease the transition and ensure that users can continue to meet their needs. Once again, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional product you have created. MERLIN API has been a true asset, and I sincerely hope that you will reconsider its discontinuation. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your commitment to delivering innovative solutions. I look forward to your response.

Like ChatGPT, I would like to see my code get executed. It's really useful and cool if I can see matplotlib and math calculation done using python directly in the chat.

Hi, I would like to request an inline grammar checker like Monica. For competitor demo, please see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YLRHg_ze80 This feature would make Merlin awesome!

Would be super useful for chatting on sensitive topics and subjects

Dear Team,Could you please consider adding the Perplexity model with web vision to your roadmap? Its unique qualities and responsive nature make it a valuable addition.Thank you!
