Merlean AI

Merlean AI launched a platform that turns any web app into an MCP server so AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT can complete tasks inside the app on behalf of the signed-in user, priced from €49 per month plus AI usage at the provider's price plus 10%. The company said every action runs with the signed-in user's permissions, each customer's data is kept separate, and Merlean can run in the customer's own infrastructure with their own AI provider. Merlean positions the product against chatbots, copilots, RPA and browser agents, which it says inherit the weaknesses of clicking through screens.

STEP 01

Describe the outcome

In a chat inside your app, in Slack, or from an AI assistant. Plain language, any phrasing, no menus.

An AI agent inside your web app: your users ask for what they need in plain language, and Merlean gets it done. No new interface to learn, no scripts to maintain, no rewrite.

Opens a sample CRM with Merlean built in. No form, no sign-up.

The complexity gap

Every release adds another screen to learn, so people end up using a fraction of what you have built.

Onboarding decks and help articles explain where the buttons are, then go stale with the next release.

Your support queue fills with questions the product could answer by simply doing the task.

How it works

Connect your app once. From then on, every request becomes a finished task, done the way your app does it.

It gets to know what your app can do and who is allowed to do it, so every request lands exactly where it should.

The task is completed in your app, on behalf of the signed-in user and within their permissions.

Many ways in

Merlean turns what your app can do into conversational access - in your product, in Slack, or in the AI assistant your customers already use.

Add it to your product in minutes. Your users get an assistant that can do anything your interface can do - limited to what each of them is allowed to do.

Let Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants get things done in your app, signed in as the user. Ask in a channel and the task gets done in the app, with a clear record of what was done.

Every action runs with the signed-in user’s role. If they cannot do it in the UI, Merlean cannot either.

Use our cloud, or run Merlean inside your own infrastructure with your own AI provider. Why not a browser agent?

Tools that click through screens inherit every weakness of the screen. Merlean works with your app directly, so a new layout changes nothing.

Security

Merlean sits next to your real data, so it is designed to do exactly what the user could do - and nothing more.

Everything runs as the signed-in user, with their own permissions. There is no all-powerful bot account.

Each customer’s data is kept separate. Nothing is shared between workspaces.

Merlean never changes your application. You stay in full control of what it can do.

Run Merlean inside your own infrastructure, with your own AI provider.

An AI assistant that does not just answer questions - it gets things done in your web app. Users describe what they need in plain language: in your product, in Slack, or from assistants like Claude and ChatGPT.

None of those. A chatbot answers, a copilot suggests and RPA replays recorded clicks. Merlean completes the task inside your app, for the signed-in user and within their permissions.

Yes. Merlean makes your app available as an MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants can get things done in it, with each user signed in as themselves.

Minutes. You connect your app, Merlean gets to know it, and you add the assistant to your product.

Yes. Merlean works with any web app - React, Vue, Next.js, Laravel, Django, Rails, Node.js, WordPress and more.

Yes. You can run Merlean inside your own infrastructure, with your own AI provider.

A monthly plan from €49, plus AI usage at the AI provider's own price + 10%. See pricing.

Connect your app, and hand your users a sentence instead of a manual.
