Merge's Gateway adds text-to-video routing as the connector catalog expands into enterprise verticals

api-integrationllm-gatewayagent-toolsconnector-catalogmultimodal
Current state
Merge is shipping weekly across three product lines: Gateway (AI model routing), Unified (data sync abstraction), and Agent Handler (connector tooling for AI agents). Gateway added text-to-video generation through fal.ai and Interfaze web search alongside seven new LLMs including Claude Fable 5.1 and Gemini 3.8 Flash. Agent Handler's connector catalog now includes Goldcast (73 tools), Luma (67 tools), and enterprise verticals like Clio, Avalara, and Nextech Practice+.
Where it's heading
Merge is moving beyond integration abstraction into full AI infrastructure. Gateway is no longer just an LLM router — it handles text, video generation, and web search through a single endpoint. Agent Handler's file-transfer-by-reference capability across SharePoint, Outlook, Gmail, and Drive removes a fundamental friction point where large files had to pass through conversation context. The connector expansion into events, legal, and healthcare suggests vertical market acceleration beyond the developer-first base.
Prediction
Image generation routing to Gateway seems like the next logical multimodal addition. The connector catalog is growing fast enough that quality controls — rate-limit handling, edge-case robustness — will increasingly matter as much as new additions.

Recent moves

  1. 15d ago

    New endpoint coverage and sync improvements across Accounting, CRM, and Ticketing

    Unified adds new data access for NetSuite project activity codes, HubSpot real-time opportunity sync for close date and stage changes, and Jira Service Management attachment content. Broad sync accuracy and field mapping improvements land across QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, Pinpoint, Ashby, SharePoint, and several HRIS systems.

    Seven new models, text-to-video and web search support, deeper usage visibility

    ⚡ SPARK

    Gateway now routes text-to-video generation through fal.ai (including Seedance 2.5) alongside LLMs, adds Interfaze as a web search engine, and ships seven new models including Claude Fable 5.1 and Gemini 3.8 Flash. Video generation sits behind the same request path as every other model — no separate API surface.

  3. 15d ago

    Three new connectors, expanded tool coverage, and faster setup across four more connectors

    Agent Handler adds Docrio, Avalara AvaTax, and Nextech Practice+ to the connector catalog, while upgrading Notion to the current API with data source support. Four connectors expand tool sets and four more now connect using Merge's default credentials, removing the OAuth app registration requirement.

    New model lineup: Grok 4.6, Gemini 3.7 Flash, and GLM-5.3 Flash

    Gateway adds Grok 4.6, Gemini 3.7 Flash, and GLM-5.3 Flash, all with zero data retention. Incremental model lineup expansion — meaningful for enterprises with data residency requirements, but not a capability surface change.

    New write endpoints land across Accounting, from QuickBooks to Xero

    New write endpoints land across Accounting: POST /invoices on QuickBooks Online, POST /purchase-orders on Sage Intacct, and POST /vendor-credits on Xero. Write coverage is expanding toward parity with read coverage in the Accounting vertical.

    A broader connector catalog, cross-app file transfer, and finer Skills publishing controls

    Eight new connectors join Agent Handler led by Goldcast (73 tools) and Luma (67 tools) for event management. File transfer by reference across SharePoint, Outlook, Gmail, and Drive removes the need to route large file content through conversation context. Skills publishing adds granular scope control.
