If you’re a free user and you tried to click on “AI Assistant,” you would see an “Upgrade" button.
Up until now, that functionality was only available to paid Short.io subscribers.
Now, free users can also take advantage of our AI Assistant.
We’re introducing GPT-5 mini.
Scaled-down but still capable.
Like its bigger GPT-5 counterpart, it can:
- Generate links
- Track stats
- Change settings
- Create integrations
- And a whole lot more!
The full GPT-5 model is available to all paid subscribers.
It’s even trained on our technical documentation, so it can help you find solutions fast.
You can access it at any time by pressing the “AI Assistant” button on the top right corner.

We’ve always maintained that Short.io needs to provide serious value — for free, for all. Not just for our paid customers.
For us, it’s important to deliver on that promise. With the introduction of GPT-5 mini, we’re democratizing access to one of our most exciting tools.
We hope you give it a try.
And of course, our Support Team is still fully available whenever you need them.
