Do more AI work. Spend less doing it.

Merlin routes each task to the most cost-effective model, helping you code, research, write, analyze, and automate without burning premium AI spend on routine work.

Right model, lower cost

Merlin runs simple tasks on efficient models and saves premium ones for when they matter.

Fewer AI subscriptions

One desktop app handles coding, content, documents, images, video and data analysis.

Merlin is for everyone

What Claude Code does for developers, Merlin Agent does for everyone else who works.

Merlin routes tasks to cost-effective models, so you can code, research, write, analyze, and automate efficiently.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you get started.

Which Mac models are supported?
Merlin Agent runs on macOS 12 Monterey and later on Apple Silicon Macs (M1 and newer). Windows and other platforms are not currently planned.
Can I use my existing Merlin subscription?
Yes. If you're on a Pro or Max plan you can switch to a Desktop plan in one click, your billing date stays the same and you're only charged the prorated difference.
Does Merlin Agent work with my local files?
Yes. Merlin reads files directly from your Mac, PDFs, documents, images, and code folders, without uploading them to a third-party server first. An internet connection is required only for the AI model calls.
Researchers
Drop a folder of PDFs on Friday afternoon. Merlin reads every one, pulls the findings, and hands you a brief before you leave.
Developers
Debug, refactor, and ship without burning your budget on the wrong model. Merlin runs the commands and verifies its own work.
Marketers
Point Merlin at a folder of assets and a deadline. Get the copy, the images, and the campaign in a single pass.
Students
Bring your own notes and textbooks. Merlin works with the files already on your Mac, no uploading required.
