I had long hoped that an AI Assistant like Merlin would arrive on Appsumo
I had long hoped that an AI Assistant like Merlin would arrive on Appsumo. Overall, I am very satisfied and therefore give it 5 tacos.
However, I would like to suggest some improvements because I have tried many other competitors that have functions which further enhance the workflow:
1) Integration with Google Docs. This is the first and fundamental feature that must not be missing, and I hope they integrate it as soon as possible. I believe there is no need to explain the enormous advantage of having it.
2) Permanently anchored sidebar on the right: During work, it often happens that I need to move continuously between multiple tabs, and keeping your assistant fixed on one side to consult it as needed is a great advantage (like Sider.AI, Text Cortex, etc.). I address this lack by installing the "Page Sidebar Chrome extension" and opening the Merlin or Desksense Chat there.
3) Ability to create a Knowledge Base with your own personal documents or URLs to make Merlin's responses even more personalized.

Jun 13, 2024Thanks a ton for all your suggestions Mario. And grateful for your kind words and the 5 tacos. <3
We will add two of the three suggestions to our roadmap for next to next quarter. One of them, i.e. personalisation is something already in design phase and will be rolled out hopefully in this quarter itself. Integration with docs is something we will explore next. Anchoring also seems useful; we will consider that too in the roadmap discussions.
