Getting started

Create an account, link a chat app and add Merlin to a group.

1. Create an account

Go to atmerlin.com and choose Sign in. Sign in with a code sent to your email, or with Google or Discord. New accounts start on the Free plan. No credit card needed.

2. Talk to Merlin

After signing in you’re on Home, which has a chat with Merlin. You can start there.

To use Merlin in another app, open Apps on Home and choose it:

  • Discord: sign in with Discord, then message Merlin or add it to a server you manage.
  • Telegram, Slack and Matrix: send Merlin a message there, then open the link it sends back.

You can link one account on each chat app.

3. Add Merlin to a group

  • Discord: choose Add to a server in Discord’s dialog on Home. You need permission to manage the server.
  • Telegram: choose Add to a group.
  • Slack: invite Merlin to a channel.
  • Matrix: invite Merlin to a room.

When Merlin joins, it posts a message saying it’s an AI, that it saves every message, and where the privacy notice is. Whoever added it becomes the chat’s owner. See Chats.

Open Apps on Home and choose an app, such as Gmail, Calendar or GitHub. See Connected apps.
