I first heard about Get Poppy AI (which I will refer to it simply as Poppy going forward) back in early 2024.
This was at a time when everyone and their brother was launching AI tools. Most of them were just a ChatGPT trojan horse. Tools that just used the ChatGPT API to do things that you could easily do inside ChatGPT on its own.
So, I passed on Poppy. I figured it was one of those types of tools.
Flashforward to 2025 and I was at a marketing conference in St. Petersburg Florida. It was the bell of the ball. Multiple speakers raved about how powerful it was in their content creation process.
So, I caved and purchased an annual license.
Now that I’ve spent time with it, I want to share my actual experience with Poppy so you can see if it’s worth it or not to you.
Stick around and I’m going to show you what Poppy does, how I use it, how they price it and then you can decide whether or not it’s a good fit for you.
What Is Poppy AI?
Poppy AI is a content creation tool that helps creators and agencies generate and organize ideas quickly. Users can provide media to Poppy AI and it analyzes and extracts information from them to be used in outputs. It can analyze videos, podcasts, PDFs, and images. It features collaborative tools, a user-friendly editing interface, and uses advanced AI models like ChatGPT and Claude to make writing easier and more efficient. Essentially, it saves time for marketers, content creators, and researchers by simplifying the content generation process.
Poppy AI Pros
The closest alternative at the time of writing is Flowrist AI. It lacks functionality compared to Poppy (such as PDF and Audio analysis). Other tools like Merlin AI can chat with webpages and documents, but they do not have the same visual connective interface.
- Very user friendly
- The best way I’ve ever found to get high level insights from collections of information.
- Visual mapping brings functionality that ChatGPT and other models lack.
- Collaborate with your team or share templates with others.
- No monthly plan so you will have to pay upfront for a year.
- Strange onboarding process. Asks for too much information and forces scheduling an onboarding call to proceed to app and unlock the 30 day guarantee.
- VIP support seems like a strange option. They do offer great support without it though.
- Some technical glitches.
Who Is the Best Fit for Poppy AI?
If you create content, Poppy AI would have some use to you. Whether you need ideas for video hooks, insights from other creator’s content, or ideas for your next peice, Poppy AI can be useful.
There are also endless possible case uses for Poppy beyond content creation and business.
What Makes Poppy AI Stand Out
Here’s why Poppy AI stands out in a crowded AI market.
🖥️ Visual Workspace: I find this to be much better than a traditional linear chat.
👥 Multiple User Collaboration: You can work with teams and edit the same board.
📊 Bulk Multi-Modal Processing: Analyze various media types at once—video, audio, text, and images simultaneously.
🤖 Dual AI Access: Poppy uses ChatGPT and Claude in the same tool.
📚 Persistent Knowledge: Everything stays connected and searchable.
Here’s a quick video that shows the Poppy interface as simply as possible.
How I’m Using Poppy AI
The best way to explain what Poppy AI does is with an example.
I wanted to make a board that helped me create better TikTok affiliate videos.
ChatGPT and other LLMs could give me generic tips, but that’s about it. Poppy let’s me create much more.
I can build my own custom chat bot and ask it questions.
So I did just that. I dumped all of the relevant information I needed onto my board, grouped it and connected it to my chat.
- Sales metrics (views, ad spend, revenue etc. for each video)
- General TikTok training documents and videos. PDFs, blog posts and YouTube videos.
- 50 of the best TikTok affiliate videos I could find.
This board became my own real world TikTok affiliate expert and I could get answers from it that made me one too.
I asked it a simple question, “What seem to be the 3 most important factors to TikTok affiliate video success?
Are you seeing the potential here now?

How Poppy AI Actually Works
When you open Poppy AI, you start with a blank canvas—not a chat box.
You actually build your bot piece by piece.
You can drag and drop:
- YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram videos.
- Tweets, Linkedin Posts, Medium Articles or Facebook posts.
- PDFs, spreadsheets and documents
- Voice recordings (record directly or upload)
- Images and screenshots
- Website links -As long as they aren’t behind some sort of paywall or verification.
- Text notes.
Everything appears as visual nodes that you can connect with lines, creating a web of information.
The AI now has specific context instead of generic knowledge, leading to much better outputs.
Multi-AI Access (ChatGPT + Claude)
Switch between ChatGPT and Claude depending on your needs.
✅ ChatGPT is better for creative writing and brainstorming
✅ Claude is superior for analysis and technical content
Having both in one tool saves $40/month in separate subscriptions.
Poppy Pricing and Credits
Anytime I buy an AI tool, the first question I have is “how far will these credits take me.”
With Poppy, you get 2,000 credits per month on the basic plan.
Credits are used when you upload media to your board.
- Text generation: 1-5 credits
- Video analysis: 10-50 credits (depending on length)
- PDF processing: 5-20 credits
- Voice transcription: 2-10 credits
Daily users who upload large amounts of data will likely want to add more credits. I have found myself hovering right around the 2,000 credits per month and have yet to go over, even with daily use and large boards.
Keep in mind, Poppy AI credits do not roll over.
All plans come with unlimited boards and unlimited collaborators.
Poppy did recently add some options to upgrade once you’ve purchased an annual or lifetime license.
- ChatGPT Plus: $20/month
- Claude Pro: $20/month
- Miro/Whimsical: $10/month
Total:** $50/month ($600/year)
At $300/year, poppy actually saves you money.
