Burp's AI-powered extensions enhance and automate your testing workflow. This page explains how to enable AI-powered extensions and how the AI credit system works.

Using AI credits

AI credits are required to use AI features in Burp Suite. When an extension interacts with an AI large language model (LLM), it deducts credits from your AI credit balance. Different interactions require different amounts of credits depending on the number and complexity of AI requests needed.

You can buy AI credits from My Account on the PortSwigger site. You must have a Burp Suite Professional license associated with your account to buy AI credits.

Checking AI credit use

To see your AI credit balance, click the AI icon in the bottom-right corner of Burp.

To see how many credits an extension has used, go to Extensions > Installed. The AI credits used column shows the credits used by each extension during the current Burp session.

If you start to run low on credits, Burp displays a reminder dialog with a link to buy more.

Enabling AI for extensions

By default, AI features are disabled for all extensions to keep you in control of how and when Burp uses AI. You need to manually enable AI functionality for any extensions you want to be able to make AI calls.

When you install an AI-powered extension from the BApp store, Burp asks whether you want to enable AI features for that extension.

You can enable or disable AI for extensions you have already installed. To enable AI for an extension:

1. Select Extensions > Installed, and find the extensions you want to manage.

2. Select the Use AI checkbox for those extensions.
