Frequently asked questions
Common questions about merlin vs harpa ai vs vezz me.
Is HARPA AI or Merlin better for developers?
If you are building automated browser workflows or scraping tasks, HARPA AI is stronger. If you want multi-model chat in a sidebar, Merlin is stronger. However, if you are reading API docs, Stack Overflow, or GitHub PRs and want instant explanations right beside code snippets without shrinking your viewport, Vezz me is purpose-built for that workflow.
Does Vezz me inject buttons into Google Search or social media like Merlin?
No. Vezz me never injects unsolicited widgets into your search results, Gmail, or LinkedIn feeds. It runs only when you select text and press your shortcut.
Can I customize the system prompt in Vezz me for technical tasks?
Yes. You can create custom prompts (such as Senior Engineer Code Reviewer or Regex/SQL Explainer) and import/export them as JSON files.
