Overview

Merlio is an AI workspace that bundles chat, image, video, and code generation from more than 40 premium models, including GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, Flux, and Stable Diffusion, into one dashboard so users don't pay for and switch between separate subscriptions. A Paris-based founder going by Wassim launched the company in 2024, officially debuting on Product Hunt in June 2025, where it reached the #5 Product of the Day spot.

Rather than a single chat window, Merlio organizes its models around task shortcuts, typing '//' drafts a social post, one click summarizes a YouTube video, and adds team features like shared workspaces and a commercial license for output reuse. The company positions the product explicitly against 'subscription fatigue,' pitching one Merlio plan as a replacement for several individual AI tool subscriptions that would otherwise cost $100 or more combined.

Merlio fits freelancers, indie teams, and agencies that use multiple AI tools regularly and want to consolidate billing and login into one place. There's no persistent free plan, but the free trial requires no credit card; paid plans start at $14.99 a month for the Starter tier and run to $35.99 a month for Pro, with lower per-month rates on annual billing.

Key features

  • Access to 40-plus AI models across chat, image, video, and code from one login
  • Shortcut commands like '//' for task-specific generation
  • YouTube video summarization in one click
  • Web search and file upload support within chats
  • Commercial license included for generated content reuse
  • Team-oriented pricing tiers for agencies and small groups

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Consolidates multiple AI subscriptions into one bill, which can cut total spend
  • No credit card required to start the free trial
  • Task shortcuts reduce prompt-writing overhead for repeated actions
  • Commercial license included removes ambiguity around using output professionally

Cons

  • No perpetual free plan, unlike some bundler competitors
  • Company is under two years old with a thin public track record
  • Bundling 40-plus models can mean shallower access to any single model's premium features
  • Credit-based limits across models can be harder to predict than a flat per-model subscription
