Users can connect existing LLM providers, including Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and providers available through OpenRouter. AI agents can access Caido programmatically through its Client SDK. Community plugins and custom extensions are supported; the Basic plan allows three plugins. Basic is free forever and includes two projects, seven workflows, five filter presets, and one pipeline session at a time.
