Short answer

Can I manage Bitly groups using AI?

Yes. You can list your existing groups, see every link inside a specific group, and change the titles of your bitlinks. This allows you to clean up your link organization through a chat interface.

Where every change lands.

Organized link management.

Your AI handles the heavy lifting of searching and updating, leaving you to make the final decisions.

INVENTORY

Group visibility

The AI pulls a full list of your Bitly groups. You get a clear view of how your links are currently categorized.

AUDIT

Link inspection

Your agent looks inside a specific group to show you every link it contains. This makes finding specific URLs much faster.

RENAME

Updated titles

You can tell your AI to rename a bitlink. It updates the title in Bitly so your dashboard stays clean.

HUMAN

Manual review

The AI won't delete groups or links. You stay in control of any destructive actions or major structural changes.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI translates your plain English commands into specific Bitly API calls.

  1. Identify groups

    The AI scans your account to find the specific group you want to work with.

    list_groups

  2. Locate links

    Once a group is identified, the AI pulls the individual bitlinks belonging to that collection.

    list_bitlinks

  3. Modify titles

    The AI applies the new name you provided to the specific link you targeted.

    update_bitlink

  4. Verify changes

    The AI re-checks the list to ensure the title update was successful and matches your request.

    list_bitlinks
