Burp AI ​

Burp Suite Pro AI features and their Caido equivalents.

Available ​

Generating AI-powered explanations ​

Burp can generate natural-language explanations of HTTP requests and responses from Repeater.

Caido offers the Chatio and Shift community plugins to explain and analyze HTTP traffic in natural language. Chatio provides a dedicated chat interface for security-focused Q&A; Shift adds in-context explanations and analysis on requests in Replay.

Using Burp AI in Repeater ​

In Burp, AI actions run directly inside Repeater tabs to modify or analyze the current request.

Caido offers the Shift plugin for AI-assisted request editing alongside native Replay. Shift provides in-context AI actions on requests, similar to Burp AI in Repeater.

Burp AI ​

Burp AI is PortSwigger's built-in assistant for explaining requests, suggesting payloads, and running custom actions inside Repeater.

Caido does not ship a single bundled AI product like Burp AI. Use Shift (including Shift Agents for autonomous background tasks) and Chatio for explanations, payload suggestions, and request editing. Each plugin manages its own API keys rather than a central credits system.

Resources ​

Automating tasks with custom actions ​

Burp AI custom actions automate repetitive Repeater tasks with prompts and predefined workflows.

Caido offers Shift Agents to assign autonomous background tasks to a model, and Shift custom prompts for repeatable AI actions on requests. Caido also covers non-AI repetitive task automation through native Workflows and Automate.

AI credits ​

Burp tracks AI usage through a credits system tied to your PortSwigger subscription.

Caido has no central AI credits system. AI plugins such as Shift and Chatio use your own API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) or plugin-specific billing configured in each plugin's settings.
