AI Link Assistant currently supports OpenAI and Google Gemini. You can connect either provider directly from the Settings tab by entering your API key, selecting a model, and configuring token limits to suit your workflow. Additional model support may be added in future releases. Does AI Link Assistant work with all WordPress editors? AI Link Assistant is designed for the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg). Both the inline suggestions and the Sidebar Assistant panel operate natively within the Block Editor environment, keeping you in your writing flow without switching tabs or tools. How does an AI Link Assistant decide which links to recommend? Recommendations are driven by two signals working together: the semantic meaning of your content and the actual click performance of your existing BetterLinks. The AI analyzes the topic and intent of what you’re writing, then ranks matching BetterLinks by their real click data. Can I use AI Link Assistant if I don’t have many BetterLinks yet? Yes. AI Link Assistant works with whatever BetterLinks you have in place. The Smart URL Detection feature is especially useful early on, it flags any raw, untracked URLs already in your content and lets you convert them into branded BetterLinks in a single click, helping you build your tracked link library as you publish. Does using AI Link Assistant require a separate subscription or incur additional costs? AI Link Assistant is available as part of BetterLinks. Because it connects to external AI providers (OpenAI or Gemini), you will need a valid API key from your chosen provider. API usage is billed directly by the provider according to their standard token-based pricing; BetterLinks does not charge an additional fee for the AI Link Assistant feature itself.
