Merlin

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
