What is Poppy AI?
Poppy AI is a browser-based AI workspace for content creators and marketers. You drop in YouTube videos, Instagram and TikTok posts, ads, landing pages, PDFs and notes, and Poppy studies why they worked, then writes scripts, ads, emails and landing pages in your brand voice. Plans run on monthly AI credits, from $399 a year for Base. If you're looking for a Poppy AI alternative, Slashspace keeps the same idea of sources wired into chats on a board, but runs on the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already pay for, your own API keys or local models, and lets you branch any answer.

Every post, read in full
Slashspace is a Poppy AI alternative for creators who do their research on a canvas. Paste a link and it becomes a node your chats can read.
- Social video. YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X and LinkedIn links become Post nodes with the full transcript.
- Documents. PDFs, Word, PowerPoint and Excel files become Document nodes.
- Web pages. Any other link becomes a Web node.
- Wired, not guessed. A chat reads exactly the nodes you connect to it, in full, with every message (connections and context).
Bring the AI you already have
Poppy's chats draw from a monthly credit allowance. In Slashspace each chat picks its own model and how you pay for it.
- Your plan. Slashspace drives the official Claude Code and Codex CLIs on your computer, signed in with your own account. Usage counts against your Claude or ChatGPT plan (subscription providers).
- Your keys. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, OpenRouter, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Groq and more, at your provider's prices.
- Local models. Ollama runs models on your own machine.
- Optional built-in AI. Hosted models, with Auto picking one for you.
A branch for every hook
Good content comes from trying several angles. On a canvas, each angle stays in view.
- Ask about this. Select a line in any answer and ask about just that line.
- Branch it. Every branch keeps the context it came from, and sibling branches can't see each other.
- Compare models. Send the same brief to Claude, GPT and Gemini in three branches and read the hooks side by side.
- Personas. Save a voice or an editor's brief as a persona and put it on any chat.
Give it a goal. Get a board.
- Orchestrator. Describe the goal and Orchestrator plans the work, creates and connects nodes, hands pieces to subagents and brings the results back.
- Agent mode. Chats can use connectors such as Gmail, Notion and GitHub, and hundreds more through Composio and MCP.
- Images. Image mode generates thumbnails and visuals in a chat (image generation).
- Your files. Each canvas is a folder on your computer, and you can export any canvas as Markdown or JSON.
Other Poppy AI alternatives
Slashspace isn't the only option. A few other tools take a similar board approach, each described from its own site:
- Blort pairs whiteboards with a library of outlier videos from Instagram, TikTok and YouTube that you can drop into a chat.
- Notebooks.app is an AI whiteboard for content creators that connects your YouTube channel, Instagram and competitors.
- ChatGrid is an AI canvas for research and content, with a built-in writer in every chat and an MCP server for Claude Code.
Try the one whose workflow matches yours. Pick Slashspace if you want to run on your own Claude or ChatGPT plan, keys or local models, and branch freely.
When Slashspace isn't the right fit
Poppy AI is still the better choice for some creators. Stay with it if you:
- Want ready-made builders. Poppy writes scripts, ads and emails, builds landing pages, and adds a VSL builder on Creator. Slashspace has no page builder.
- Need visuals analyzed. Poppy reads a video's visuals, audio and on-screen text for most platforms. Slashspace works from the transcript.
- Work as a team today. Poppy's Creator and Power User plans include 3 and 5 seats. Team sharing in Slashspace is coming soon.
- Want a browser app. Poppy runs in the browser. Slashspace is a desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux, with a web app coming soon.
- Automate with an API. Poppy's Power User plan includes an API for n8n, Zapier and Make.
Switching from Poppy AI
- Connect your AI: sign in to Claude Code or Codex, add API keys, or install Ollama.
- Copy what you need from Poppy: copy your best scripts, brand voice notes and prompts. Poppy lets you copy replies with or without formatting.
- Rebuild your sources: paste the same TikTok, Instagram and YouTube links onto a canvas, and drop in your PDFs. Put your brand voice in a Text node or a persona.
- Wire a chat to your sources and branch one chat per hook or angle.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best Poppy AI alternative?
It depends on what you use Poppy for. If you want ready-made builders for ads, VSLs and landing pages, or AI that reads a video's visuals, Poppy is hard to replace. If you want an AI canvas for researching and writing content on the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already pay for, your own keys or local models, with branching chats, Slashspace is built for that.
Is Poppy AI free?
No. Poppy AI has no free plan. Every plan starts with 7 days for $1, then Base is $399 a year, billed annually.
Can I use my ChatGPT or Claude subscription instead of credits?
Yes. Slashspace drives the official Claude Code and Codex CLIs on your computer, signed in with your own account, so those chats count against the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already pay for. New chats start on Auto, the optional built-in AI, so pick your plan in the model menu.
Does Slashspace work with TikTok and Instagram links like Poppy?
Yes. Paste a TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn or Facebook link and it becomes a Post node with the video's transcript. Slashspace reads what is said, not what is shown, so Poppy is stronger if you need on-screen visuals analyzed.
Can my team share boards in Slashspace?
Not yet. Team sharing is coming soon. If several people must work on the same board today, Poppy's Creator or Power User plan fits better.
Where is my work stored?
Canvases are local files on your computer. Documents, web pages and videos you add are uploaded and stored on Slashspace's servers so the AI can read them, and Orchestrator runs in Slashspace's cloud.
What does Slashspace cost?
$89/year, starting with a 3-day trial (card required), or $249 one-time lifetime.
Try Slashspace free for 3 days
