Bitly Inc. a global leader in link management and QR code solutions, has unveiled a new set of AI-powered features to assist marketing teams in speeding up analytics and decision-making. The introduction includes Bitly Assist and Weekly Insights, the two pieces of work dedicated to making it easier for marketers to deal with performance data and convert insights into action. While marketers face an overload of campaign data, deciphering it to get relevant and actionable insights still remains a headache.
Most analytics systems that require manual intervention, decision-making process slows down, and campaigns become less flexible. The new AI-powered features introduced by Bitly are aimed at addressing these problems by integrating the intelligence layer in everyday workflows.
Bitly Assist is a conversational AI feature embedded in the Bitly platform. This tool lets users inquire about various performance metrics (for example, click-through rates, engagement per channel, or the most popular links) by simply speaking or typing in the way they normally do. The assistant provides quick answers, allowing marketing professionals to skip the lengthy process of exploring different sections of the dashboard. Besides that, it helps generate links and QR codes simply by having a chat with the system, thus greatly minimizing the potential hurdles of running operations.
“We know our customers don’t have time to spend digging for answers in their data. We built Bitly Assist and Weekly Insights to fit directly into the way customers already work, so there’s no friction between having data and acting on it,” Kelsey Stevenson, Chief Product Officer.
Early adopters are already experiencing tangible productivity gains. By removing the need for manual data exploration, Bitly Assist helps teams shift their focus from analysis to strategy and execution.
“Bitly Assist has streamlined how we analyze performance. What used to take 10 to 15 minutes of digging through dashboards now takes seconds,” notes Ania Cotton, SEO & Data Analytics Manager at Americas’ SAP Users’ Group and Bitly Assist early adopter. “Its follow-up prompts also surface insights we might not have uncovered on our own.”

Surfacing trends – Weekly Insights offers automated analytics in bitly’s platform. It tracks performance across links, geographies, devices, and referral sources. Updates happen weekly, no manual work needed. Marketers stay aware of shifts in campaign results. The data comes through regularly – no extra effort required.
“Marketers shouldn’t have to fight their own data to understand what’s working,” said Tara Robertson, Chief Marketing Officer at Bitly. “Bitly Assist and Weekly Insights bring the most important signals to the surface, helping teams connect performance across channels and act on it faster.”
These technology updates are expressing Bitly’s extensive dedication to the incorporation of AI within its entire platform. Bitly has been periodically broadening its ecosystem by means of partnerships with dominant large language models like ChatGPT Claude Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot. By means of these partnerships users are given a chance to reach Bitly’s features in the softwares they habitually use, thereby creating a more integrated and less cumbersome marketing technology stack overall.
Bitly is making a great change in the way companies work with digital campaigns, especially in the environments where speed and errorlessness are the most important, by offering the users simplified analytics and conversational, on the spot access to the data. It can be said that the newly introduced features of the company will not only change the work of the marketers but will also enhance their performance through great results derived from the accurate and prompt use of information.
Bitly with over 5.7 million monthly active users and more than 600,000 paying customers in 190 countries is still a major assistant to organizations in maximizing digital engagement and measuring performance. As AI development is constantly changing the marketing world, Bitly’s new product is a clear sign of the industry’s trend towards smart automation, where data is not only available but also instantly usable, giving businesses the power to produce better results in an efficient way.
