Merlin: 1-click access to Powerful AI Plugins

Paste a YouTube link and get a summary back, or point Merlin at a web page and pull the content out without leaving your browser tab.

Merlin is an AI assistant powered by GPT-4 that handles a spread of everyday writing and research jobs in one place.

Beyond video summaries and web scraping, Merlin can draft replies to emails, write copy, and generate social media posts for platforms such as Twitter.

You can chat with a PDF through ChatPDF or with a web page through WebChat, which is handy when you need answers from a long document fast.

Other features include AI Chat, search enhancement, web access and AI art generation.

The appeal is one tool instead of a separate app for each task, so it suits marketers, bloggers and anyone who spends the day switching between email, research and social feeds.

The range is wide, so expect each feature to be a general-purpose helper rather than a specialist.
