What’s new in Burp AT

6 October 2026

Run skills manually

You can now run skills manually. This gives you a quick way to ask Burp AT to use a particular testing technique without describing the steps yourself.

To run a skill manually, type /, then select a skill from the menu.

Skills provide focused instructions for tackling particular testing problems. They follow your existing tool permissions and autonomy settings.

For more information on using skills, see Skills.

Set broad testing goals

You can now set goals in Burp AT. Goal loops help Burp AT to tackle larger or more complex tasks. When you set a goal, Burp AT continues its work until it achieves the goal or has to stop.

To set a goal, enter /goal followed by a clear result that Burp AT can check. After each response, Burp AT checks its progress and continues until it achieves the goal or has to stop.

You can send follow-up prompts to guide the work. To replace the goal, enter another /goal prompt. To remove it, enter /goal clear.

Your tool permissions and autonomy settings still apply when Burp AT is working towards a goal.

Longer tasks can use more AI credits, so define the result carefully.

For more information on using goals, see Goals.

More readable tool results

Burp AT now displays structured tool results in cards, making them easier to scan and understand. This happens automatically when a tool returns supported structured data.

Attach files to a task

You can now attach external files to a Burp AT task. This enables you to provide supporting evidence and reference material alongside resources from Burp.

To attach a file, click the + icon in the message box, select Attach a file..., then choose your file. You can also drag files into the message box or paste supported images.

Burp AT supports documents, source code, structured data, images and other common file formats. Each file can be up to 25 MiB. You can remove an unsent file using the x icon on its file card.

For more information on attaching files, see Tasks.

Set Burp AT's reasoning effort

You can now set reasoning effort for tasks in Burp AT. Use a higher level for difficult work that needs deeper analysis, or a lower level to control time and credit use during routine testing.

To set reasoning effort, select an option from the Effort menu in the message box. If you change the effort level during a task, it applies when you next send a prompt. Responses that are already in progress keep their existing level.

Setting reasoning effort does not set a spending limit.

For more information on reasoning effort, see Tasks.

16 September 2026

Queue follow-up prompts

You can now queue follow-up prompts while Burp AT is working. This enables you to prepare next steps without interrupting the current work. Burp AT runs queued prompts one at a time, in order.

To queue a prompt, type it in the message box and press Enter. Select Run now to stop the current turn and run a queued prompt next, or use the x icon to remove it from the queue.

The queue pauses while Burp AT waits for approval. Select Stop to end the current work without sending queued prompts.

For more information on queueing prompts, see Tasks.
