AI chatbots & automation review

AI Puffer (formerly AI Power) review

Chatbot, content writer, image tools and an MCP server, running on its own credits or your provider keys.

Updated November 2026Research-based review · how we review
Our take

AI Puffer is flexible: start on its cloud credits with no API key, or plug in OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek or OpenRouter. It also supports WordPress's new AI Connectors.

Paid plans are monthly and per site, which adds up across several sites. It's smaller than AI Engine (10,000+ installs).

What AI Puffer (formerly AI Power) is

An all-in-one AI plugin offering chatbots, content generation and an MCP server. It can run on AI Puffer Cloud credits or your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, xAI, DeepSeek, OpenRouter or Azure keys.
