Hi there! I'm comparing Merlio with WritingMate.ai, as both platforms offer access to multiple LLMs.
Could you clarify what sets Merlio apart? Specifically, how do your Auto-Routing and Smart Squads features provide a better edge for productivity compared to a standard browser-based copilot? Would love to know why I should choose Merlio for my daily workflow.
Thanks

A: Hi! The biggest difference: WritingMate is mainly text-focused, while Merlio is a full multi-modal workspace, chat with 40+ models, image generation (Flux, Imagen, Ideogram, Leonardo, Nano Banana) with full image editing tools, AI video generation (Veo, Pixverse, Seedance), audio, and built-in prompt assistance. Merlio is designed for the broadest range of users with the option to go further...

Q: History and System instruction (Gemini 3.1 and similar)
Do we have a chat history and if so how long is it sustained? For Gemini 3.1 pro you can do System instructions. Is there a way to access this on your platform for those models?

A: Hey! Yes, full chat history is preserved for life, all your conversations stay accessible. On system instructions: we don't have a dedicated system prompt field at the moment, but you can simply include your instructions at the start of your prompt or at the beginning of a conversation, and the model will follow them throughout the chat (since the full history is kept as context).

I would like to know which models are currently available through the BYOK feature and what capabilities each model supports.
Could you please clarify which models can be used for text, image, audio, video, or other multimodal tasks, and whether there are any limitations or special requirements for using those features?

Winner: Merlio 🏆
Why?
Because it doesn’t just give you access to AI — it actually uses AI intelligently for you.
- Auto-Routing → picks the best model automatically
- Smart Squads → multiple AIs handle one task together
👉 So instead of manually switching models (like in WritingMate), Merlio saves time and runs smarter workflows.
In one line:
WritingMate = AI access
Merlio = AI
