@Official_m9g it's a feature, not a prompt! i believe it should show up in gemini

[Steph Mark @stephmarky]

Okay… I love the Gemini Daily Brief!!! It’s *actually* useful and I didn’t have to set anything up. Gemini for consumer 📈📈📈

[Steph Mark @stephmarky]

@rgtomaz I see what you’re saying, the first brief felt like magic but the next ones feel a bit repetitive if nothing much has changed day to day

[Steph Mark @stephmarky]

@VinnieSchnitz Oh that would be a game changer

[Steph Mark @stephmarky]

@captain_amy123 FUTURE!!!

I've taken the last two products at Merge from 0→1.

Nothing matters more in that phase than your first customers. The ones who give you raw feedback, push you through every edge case, and help you build something that actually works.

@trywindmill was one of those customers for Gateway.

They migrated from OpenRouter in a single PR and are now saving over $10K/month on LLM spend. Their engineer put it plainly: "Merge Gateway offers better LLM routing, cost control, and observability than OpenRouter."

What they're running:
- Intelligent routing across Claude Sonnet 4.6, Haiku 4.5, Kimi K2.5, and GLM-5
- Spend caps and alerts so finance stops getting surprised
- Centralized governance and request-level logs

Seeing a customer go from launch to scaling and saving real money. That's the most rewarding part of building.

I recommend checking out how Windmill took a bet on us and started seeing the dividends immediately: https://t.co/94IwJ7vywW

[Steph Mark @stephmarky]

@yashgogri1 Yessss!!

[Yash Gogri @yashgogri1]

I've been thinking a lot about why great products get abandoned.

It's almost never the product. It's the gap between signup and first value.

So I rebuilt Agent Handler's onboarding around one idea: get to your first tool call as fast as possible.

Pick your use case. Follow the path. Minutes, not hours.

You can't build production agents without a multi-model ecosystem: model routing, cost management, and governance included.

OpenAI models finally landing on AWS Bedrock proves it: users want access to the best models without rebuilding their infrastructure.

That's exactly what we built Merge Gateway to solve. One Unified API to offer all models from folks like OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, Google, and more.

GPT-5.5 is available via Merge Gateway.

Start routing to @OpenAI's latest model that handles complex, multi-step tasks with greater accuracy in coding, analysis, and writing, leading it to rank #1 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index across 147 models.

I've been using @ahrefs in Claude Code over the past few weeks and it's completely changed how I work on SEO and AEO.

In literal seconds I can identify visibility gaps with competitors, prioritize keyword and prompt opportunities, and spot pages that need to be refreshed.

[n8n.io @n8n_io]

Welcome to the canvas, @merge_api! n8n users can access 20+ new connections through the Merge Agent Handler node. 🤖

[Yash Gogri @yashgogri1]

Super hype to use Claude Opus 4.7, but also wanted to share some advice for folks who may be using some of the older models soon to be deprecated.

Updating models may be a quick code change, but the reality is that it's more than that. You need to run evals, make trade-offs around cost, factor in changes in latency, and more. There's a lot that goes into transitions.

Here's how Merge Gateway can help:
- Extend model support timelines via offering the LLM via multiple vendors
- Automatic routing when a model is deprecated, no manual intervention
- Intelligent routing to seamlessly add new models into your agents without manual intervention
- Access to top models across all major providers in one place

When the barrier to ship "good" product is lower than ever, customer experience and reliability are even more important.

It's a requirement to build in fallback and intelligent LLM routing for any customer facing AI features - you can't have your customers using broken product.

Instead of building it yourself, leverage Merge Gateway to handle it all for you: https://t.co/7whAJDmIKO

[Santiago @svpino]

Let me show you how easy it is to implement smart routing in your LLM-based projects.

Smart routing will select the best model based on the difficulty of the request.

This is honestly one of the easiest things you could do to make your app 10x better.

[Steph Mark @stephmarky]

@andruyeung You should meet @GilFeig and @shensi they just launched the sickest LLM routing product @merge_api !!!

[Packy McCormick @packyM]

Merge's superpower has always been making complicated infrastructure easy. They've done it again!

[Steph Mark @stephmarky]

Huge day at @merge_api! Introducing GATEWAY 🎉

Smarter LLM routing, auto fallback, built-in cost guardrails, and enterprise-grade security… all in one API. Our bread and butter.

Get $10 in free LLM credits to try it now!

So proud of this team.

[Gil Feig @GilFeig]

Most teams building AI products end up stitching together the same stack: routing logic, fallback rules, cost guardrails, audit logs, etc.

We’ve seen this before. We started @merge_api to solve this with product integrations.

Today, we're shipping the fix for LLMs with Merge Gateway.

[Steph Mark @stephmarky]

@shensi @merge_api LFG!!!
