Generating AI-powered explanations - Port Swigger

Summary: PortSwigger added an Explainer feature to Burp Suite's Repeater that generates AI explanations for highlighted sections of HTTP requests and responses between 3 and 1000 characters, triggered by right-click or the Ctrl+E/Cmd+E hotkey. Explanations appear in a sidebar panel and can be expanded, regenerated, or deleted, and PortSwigger states that requests are processed in real time, not retained by the AI service provider, and that only the highlighted portion of the message is sent.
Key Takeaway: The tool sends selected message content to an external AI service, so a tester working on client traffic is deciding what leaves the environment with each highlight - and PortSwigger's no-retention assurance is the only stated control over that data.
