NewYour app, available as an MCP server
Describe the outcome. Merlean runs your app.
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
Your software can already do it.
Your users just can’t do it easily.
01
Menus instead of outcomes
Every release adds another screen to learn, so people end up using a fraction of what you have built.
02
Training that never ends
Onboarding decks and help articles explain where the buttons are, then go stale with the next release.
03
Tickets that ask “how”
Your support queue fills with questions the product could answer by simply doing the task.
How it works
From one sentence to a finished task
Connect your app once. From then on, every request becomes a finished task, done the way your app does it.
STEP 02
Merlean understands your app
It gets to know what your app can do and who is allowed to do it, so every request lands exactly where it should.
STEP 03
It runs, inside your app
The task is completed in your app, on behalf of the signed-in user and within their permissions.
Many ways in
Wherever your users already work
Merlean turns what your app can do into conversational access - in your product, in Slack, or in the AI assistant your customers already use.
An assistant inside your product
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.

Turn your app into an MCP serverYour team, from Slack
Ask in a channel and the task gets done in the app, with a clear record of what was done.
Acts as the user, never above
Every action runs with the signed-in user’s role. If they cannot do it in the UI, Merlean cannot either.
Cloud or self-hosted
Use our cloud, or run Merlean inside your own infrastructure with your own AI provider.
Why not a browser agent?
Operating software, not imitating a user
Tools that click through screens inherit every weakness of the screen. Merlean works with your app directly, so a new layout changes nothing.

Security
Built to run inside production software
Merlean sits next to your real data, so it is designed to do exactly what the user could do - and nothing more.
Read the security overviewThe user’s permissions, always
Everything runs as the signed-in user, with their own permissions. There is no all-powerful bot account.
Isolated per workspace
Each customer’s data is kept separate. Nothing is shared between workspaces.
Your app stays untouched
Merlean never changes your application. You stay in full control of what it can do.
Self-host when you need to
Run Merlean inside your own infrastructure, with your own AI provider.
What exactly is Merlean?
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.
Is it a chatbot, RPA or a copilot?
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.
Can our users reach the app from Claude or ChatGPT?
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.
How long does setup take?
Minutes. You connect your app, Merlean gets to know it, and you add the assistant to your product.
Does it work with our stack?
Yes. Merlean works with any web app - React, Vue, Next.js, Laravel, Django, Rails, Node.js, WordPress and more.
Can we host it ourselves?
Yes. You can run Merlean inside your own infrastructure, with your own AI provider.
How is it priced?
A monthly plan from €49, plus AI usage at the AI provider's own price + 10%. See pricing.
