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.

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.

I have a favor to ask of you. My job is to create text descriptions of comic books. I use your service to do that. I upload a few comic book scenes and get a description. The thing is that in your service, you can select 3 images at a time. I would like you to make it so that you can select 50-100 images at a time. This would speed up my work as I upload more than 1000 scenes to describe one comic, and I have a lot of such comics.

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.

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.

5000 characters is quite appropriate.

* Let bots work together Right now, we can create custom bots, which is great. A small but powerful addition would be the ability for bots to send their output directly to another bot as input. * Why it matters This would allow specialised bots to work together, creating automated workflows and it removes the need for users to to manually copy/paste responses between them. Instead of building a single all-purpose bot, users could chain multiple specialised bots for efficient and modular task handling. Also, specialised bots generally perform better because they have clearer, narrower instructions created specifically for their tasks. * Proposed implementation (low effort, high impact) Add a "Send output to" option in the bot settings. Users can enter the name of another custom bot (with an @ mention autocomplete to select from existing bots). When a bot finishes, it automatically sends its output to the next bot. * Example use cases A content generator bot generates an article and passes it on to an SEO bot , that optimises it for search engines before publishing. A coding bot writes a script, then sends it to a debugging bot that checks for errors and suggests improvements. A marketing bot pulls all information from client meeting notes and passes it to a proposal bot to create a structured proposal, that then sends its to a tone of voice bot to align with tone of voice guidelines. And lots more possibilities. This simple addition would greatly expand what custom bots can do without needing complicated new systems. It keeps things easy while enabling advanced AI workflows for Merlin. Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

I uploaded documents into a bot and asked questions based on the docs. The responses had linked reference numbers next to them, but clicking on these went nowhere. I assume it's because these refer to the uploads rather than a webpage. Is there a way to make the link work for the uploaded docs too? - it would be good to be able to refer to where the result comes from with some precision.

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
