Merg – Deep Research for Media

Hi everyone! I’m Gary, and I’m the co-founder of Merg (https://mergai.vercel.app), a deep research platform for media content. My co-founder and I started Merg with the belief that LLMs needed a more visual and intuitive UI than the standard chatbot format. That’s why we created the discover page, a dynamic and image-driven space that allows users to browse through interesting online media and search prompts.

On our site, you can: - Find open-source films, books, articles, music, TikToks, etc. with plain-English prompts using our precision media search engine, powered by Exa - Browse trending videos, articles, and other media content on a visual discovery page. Click any tile to trigger an agent search

We hope to have Merg eventually become a ‘Tik Tok for AI Agents’. All feedback is really appreciated! Happy to answer any questions at garygao333 [at] gmail.com. Thanks in advance!
