We've just launched a tiny update - now you can view your sources in a sidebar when Merlin uses Live Search in a thread.

This is helpful when you:

want to look for product reviews or listings
want reading resources on a topic to research further (like papers or YT videos upon selection of focus modes)
collect all resources used in a chat thread and use them as citations

Share feedback if something's wrong!

Hey Merlin family! We're excited to launch Focus Mode - a smarter way to search specific types of content right from your chat!

What's New?

Three specialized search modes to help you find exactly what you need:

YouTube Mode

Search across YouTube videos and their content
Perfect for finding reviews, podcasts, or specific creator content
Example: "What were MKBHD's top phone picks this year?"

Academic Mode

Powered by Semantic Scholar for research discovery
Great for exploring latest research with inline citations
Example: "Show me recent research on LLM tokenization"

Currently Reddit-focused for community insights
Ideal for real-world opinions and comparisons
Example: "Compare user experiences with Airpods Max vs XM5"

How to Use

Find the Live Search toggle below your chat bar
Select your desired Focus Mode
Start searching with domain-specific context!
