Overview

What is Merlin?

Merlin is for engineering teams that want Claude Code and Codex available in Slack/Linear/GitHub without per-seat agent chaos. Best job: connect a machine once, add Merlin to Slack, and let the whole workspace hand work to agents that run on your own devices and your own Claude/Codex plans. Where it falls short: model usage is NOT included (you pay Anthropic/OpenAI), Free caps at 5 users and 1k requests/month, and someone must keep an online machine for agents.

Good for
  • Teams that already pay for Claude Code/Codex
  • Companies wanting agents in Slack without new token bills
  • Groups that prefer workspace pricing over per-seat fees
Watch out for
  • Model usage stays on your Claude/Codex plans
  • Needs online team machines for agents to run
  • Free plan limits users and monthly requests
