Merge builds product and business tools with OpenAI technology
What happened
Merge, an integration platform, has added OpenAI technology to its product line, using GPT‑6 Astra, ChatGPT, and Codex for tasks such as product reviews, marketing, and business development planning. The company’s new tools—Merge Unified, Merge Agent Handler, and Merge Gateway—enable customers to sync data, give AI agents secure tool access, and control model routing and costs. Merge for Workforce extends these capabilities inside companies, letting teams manage which models, tools, and systems employees can use. CEO Shensi Ding reports that AI has cut the time for preparing executive dinner guest lists from dozens of hours to about 30 minutes per event, while the company has doubled its number of dinners in Q3. The platform claims 99.9% success for tool calls, far above public MCP servers.
Why it matters
By integrating OpenAI models, Merge streamlines internal workflows and customer engagement, making AI-driven automation more reliable and efficient. This could help ordinary readers see how AI tools can reduce manual effort in business operations and event planning.
