Merlin Reviews

I wasn't sure whether to trust this option since plenty of competitors are around with similar offerings. I picked it up because I was trying to save money from paying for ChatGPT or Gemini.

I have benefited from the different options in AI models I can use and the quick to access widget.

Organizing chats is not intuitive but I'm guessing it's related to me not putting enough time to learn how it's all structured. I have been simply using the chats for anything I can think of.

I have also used the image generators several times.

I hope they stay around for a long time.

I like the quickness to interact with the active browser page or the ability the seamlessly change AI models in the same chat. I like that it's quick to respond and not bloated.

I primarily use chats so still need to explore the other tools available.

As for managing the chats, it's a little confusing at times why the delete button only appears in a specific tab and doesn't show up at all in the widget window. There are also a few different chat window versions and they don't have the same functions so I sometimes lose time trying to find out the version I need.

When it comes to history and organizing previous chats, without going into the documentation, it's not intuitive how I am expected to group chats into categories for easy reference and access. ChatGPT gives a quick way to sort chats by date or something else. The "pin" option isn't available in every window so there are some extra steps and friction at times.

Not a deal breaker but that's the first barrier I noticed when using the tool when compared to ChatGPTs interface

J'ai souscrit un abonnement AppSumo qui me donne droit à l'équivalent de 100 $ de crédits d'utilisation mensuels. Le mois dernier, j'ai constaté un changement dans la façon dont vous comptabilisez l'utilisation des ressources. En conséquence, j'ai optimisé mon utilisation pour rester dans des limites raisonnables.

Cependant, aujourd’hui, j’ai découvert que mon compte est désormais marqué comme « gratuit », comme si j’étais un visiteur sans aucun abonnement.

Je compte sur Merlin pour mon travail et j'apprécie sa valeur ajoutée. Mais j'ai besoin de clarté et de transparence sur les ressources que je peux utiliser chaque mois. Ces changements récents me posent de sérieux problèmes.

I purchased a lifetime plan with Merlin, expecting long-term access to Pro features as promised. Everything worked for a while, then suddenly my access was removed or severely limited — with no explanation, no email, and no clear communication.

I reached out to support and received:

No clear answers,

No fix or restoration of my plan,

No transparency about what happened.

I absolutely love Merlin's Chrome extension and how seamlessly it integrates with my browser! It's so simple and easy to use when I want to edit or change a comment on the fly. I highlight the comment and prompt it to help me, and it works like a charm! The AppSumo version has everything I need, so there’s no pressure to upgrade. Thank you for creating such a fantastic app!

Está bien como complemento a LLM originales con versión de pago, ya que ahorras consultas y no lo llenas de chats rápidos. No sirve para consultas complejas que impliquen razonar, revisar código o elaborar respuestas elaboradas.
Aunque eliges el LLM, tengo serias dudas de que funcione como el original porque las respuestas son mucho más simples y a veces menos confiables. Incluso pagando el extra para acceder a Merlin PRO.
Uso Claude PRO y noto una gran diferencia entre el original y usarlo en Merlin. Demasiada.
