Short answer

How can I make a bunch of branded short links at once using AI?

Give your AI a list of destination URLs and tell it to use Short.io to generate branded short links for them. It handles the heavy lifting of creating each link individually through the connection. You'll end up with a ready-to-use set of custom URLs.
