    Company and product FAQs

    When was your company founded & where is it located?

    Founded - May 2022

    Location - 9245 Laguna Springs Drive, Elk Grove, Sacramento, California, 95758


    What are past projects, failures, or successes you’ve had in your career?

    I used to work at BCG and consulted Fortune 500 companies. This taught me customer-centricity like nothing else.

    I started working on my startup with 2 of my university friends to build Chrome extensions. Merlin was our 4th Chrome extension.

    While the first one did get just 40 installs, Merlin has exceeded 1 Million+ installs in just 11 months since launch. And we couldn't be more proud and excited to build for 1 Billion+ users now.


    What is your team size?

    Our total headcount is around 40. Where 14 people are full-time. And we have about 25 interns/contractors. Most of us are in tech, design, support, and GTM.


    Are you funded or bootstrapped?

    We are funded. Our runway is around 16 years as of now. Our operations are very frugal, We are either profitable or operating at low burn almost throughout the journey of our company.


    What 3rd party tools is your product critically dependent on?

    As Merlin uses a lot of AI model APIs. We are dependent on GPT-4, Claude-3, Google, Microsoft etc. We are also subject to Chrome web store policies and subject to their approval and guidelines.


    Where is your customer data stored?

    Our data is stored in GCP servers located in West Coast, USA


    How many customers do you have today?

    1 Million +


    What’s the origin of the idea for your product?

    I (Pratyush) am a power user of Chrome extensions and felt that it's a great way to use AI. We made the product for ourselves and shared it on Twitter with our friends. It picked up as many of my friends too wanted to use AI on every website.


    What problem is your product solving and how?

    We solve 3 problems --

    1. Best user experience:

    Most AI tools require you to change your workflow and go to their platform to get your job done. While Merlin seamlessly integrates into your workflow. Say you want to write an email, get a YouTube summary, or reply on LinkedIn, Merlin removes all the friction and helps you get it done in 1-click.

    2. We help in saving a lot of money:

    Instead of buying ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Mistral, Llama subscriptions. You can get all of them and 26 other features in Merlin. Instead of buying separate Chat with PDFs, Chat with videos, Chat with web search, Chat with website, etc tools. You can get all of them in Merlin.

    3. Security & Privacy:

    Did you know ChatGPT trains models on your data? Gemini too does that. But Merlin doesn't. We offer enterprise-grade security (GDPR, SOC2, ISO compliances) to all our customers.


    What’s the #1 thing you’re looking to gain from the AppSumo campaign?

    Virality & Word-of-mouth


    What are your plans with the customers, cash, and learnings from the AppSumo campaign?

    Through our campaign with AppSumo, we aim to enhance our brand's recognition and get more growth via the AppSumo community. By leveraging valuable insights, we plan to refine our marketing and product strategies. Our goals include increasing the visibility of our brand, connecting effectively with our target market, and establishing enduring relationships that contribute to our sustained success. We are confident that these initiatives will not only fulfill but surpass our customers' expectations, leading to a dedicated and happy customer community.


    Any details to clarify about the deal?

    Our system is query-based.

    1 query is used when users use the GPT3.5 model. More queries are burned for more advanced models such as GPT-4, Claude-3 Opus, Gemini, etc. We have different query maths for different AI models and features as their API charges are different. Here are our query standards - https://www.getmerlin.in/query-standards

    User will get a fixed number of queries per month as per their plan. Unused queries will not be carried forward for next month. But the monthly queries are sufficient for most category of users.


    Anything else you'd like to add?

    No. Just wanted to add that we are REALLY very excited to partner with all the Sumo-lings.
