Merlin is a new extension tool powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT that allows recruiters to use AI magic on any website with just a click of Cmd/Ctrl+M. Simply select any online content, hit the keyboard shortcut, and choose what you want to do with it (e.g. create a reply, summarize, make it shorter, or add some fun). Merlin generates an 80% done reply for you.

How can recruiters use Merlin?

If you love OpenAI’s ChatGPT, you’ll love Merlin. It’s a Chrome extension that lets you access ChatGPT right from your browser, so you can use its powerful language model to answer questions, generate text, and perform various tasks without switching to another platform.

With Merlin, you can easily build a list of names and titles from a company’s executive leadership page, and more. Simply ask Merlin to do the task, and it’ll use its language model to provide you with the information you need.

Integrate within google searches

Merlin can also be used to get GPT response on Google searches. It’s free to use for V1 users. You can access Merlin at getmerlin.in or merlin.foyer.work.

Master Complex Excel Formulas and Codes:

Merlin also helps you master complex Excel formulas and codes by analyzing your prompt and suggesting a formula or code that accomplishes the task. You can use it to write professional email replies by providing a prompt that describes the context and desired tone, and Merlin will suggest words and phrases that fit well.

Finally, Merlin allows you to effortlessly summarize any website content by providing the full text and generating a summary that includes the main points and key details.

Using Merlin on LinkedIn

Another great application of Merlin is summarizing a LinkedIn profile. When creating executive profiles, it can be challenging if the person doesn’t have a LinkedIn Summary but has information in their Experience section. Merlin comes in handy in such cases by generating a summary of the experience, which you can then share with clients or include in candidate presentations.

Saving Chatgpt searches all in one place (huge)

AMerlin stands out with its ability to save and share your work. With Merlin, you can save your ChatGPT interactions for later access. You can also share your work with others by sending them a link or copying and pasting the text. This makes it easy to collaborate with others or share your work with the public.

I’m just starting to explore ChatGPT and tools like Merlin, and I’m eager to see how they can be used in sourcing and research in the future.
