How URLcut.ai's AI Works with ANY URL
Even Messy Tracking Links

8 min read

Most URL shorteners fail when you give them tracking links with parameters. URLcut.ai's AI is different - it works with ANY URL, no matter how messy.

TL;DR: Our AI uses your Title and Description to generate perfect short URLs, even when your original URL looks like: example.com/p?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=2024&ref=12345abc

The Problem with Traditional URL Shorteners

Traditional URL shorteners like Bitly and TinyURL have a fundamental flaw: they try to create short URLs by analyzing the structure of your original URL.

This works fine for clean URLs like:

https://myblog.com/how-to-learn-react

But fails miserably with real-world URLs like:

https://example.com/p?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=january_2025&utm_content=cta_button&ref=12345&fbclid=IwAR...

❌ Traditional Shorteners

  • Only work with clean, semantic URLs
  • Generate random codes for tracking URLs
  • Can't understand the link's purpose
  • Result: bit.ly/3xK9mPq (meaningless)

✅ URLcut.ai's Smart AI

  • Works with ANY URL structure
  • Understands context through Title & Description
  • Creates memorable, relevant slugs
  • Result: urlcut.ai/react-101 (meaningful)

How URLcut.ai's Context-Aware AI Works

Instead of trying to extract meaning from your URL structure, we ask YOU to tell us what the link is about. Our AI then uses this context to generate perfect short URLs.

The 6 Key Advantages

1

Works with ANY URL - Even Messy Ones

Whether your URL is clean or contains dozens of tracking parameters, our AI doesn't care. It focuses on the context you provide, not the URL structure.

Example:
Messy URL:
https://shop.example.com/products/laptop-pro-15?sku=12345&color=silver&variant=16gb&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=back_to_school_2025&gclid=CjwKCAiA...
You provide:
Title: Laptop Pro 15 - Silver 16GB
Description: High-performance laptop for professionals with 16GB RAM
AI generates:
✨ laptop-pro Combines main product name, short and memorable
✨ pro-16gb Highlights key spec from title
✨ get-pro Action-oriented, implies premium value
2

User-Driven Control

You're in charge. By providing Title and Description, you tell the AI exactly what matters most about your link. No more hoping the algorithm guesses correctly.

Minimal Input:
URL only → AI extracts from URL structure
Good Input:
URL + Title → Better context
Best Input:
URL + Title + Description → Perfect results
3

Context-Aware Intelligence

Our AI understands the purpose of your link, not just its structure. It considers your Title and Description to grasp the full picture.

"The AI doesn't just read words - it understands intent. If you say 'tutorial for beginners', it knows to suggest slugs like 'learn-react' or 'react-101' instead of just 'react-tutorial-beginners'."

Flexible: Works with Any Combination

You're never locked into one way of working. Our AI adapts to whatever information you have:

What You Provide AI Response Result Quality
Just the URL Tries to extract from URL structure ⭐⭐ Basic
URL + Title Understands main topic ⭐⭐⭐ Good
URL + Title + Description Full context awareness ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent
All + Keywords Maximum context provided ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect
6

Educational: Learn What Makes Great Short URLs

Unlike other services that just spit out suggestions, we explain our reasoning. Each suggestion includes a "why" that helps you understand best practices.

react-101
Why this works:

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the AI really work with ANY URL?

Yes! Whether your URL has UTM parameters, affiliate tracking codes, Facebook click IDs, or any other query strings, our AI focuses on the context you provide (Title and Description) rather than trying to parse the URL structure.

What if I don't want to provide Title or Description?

That's fine! The AI will try to extract meaningful terms from your URL structure. However, providing Title and Description gives you much better control and results.

How many suggestions does the AI generate?

The AI generates 5 suggestions, and we show you the top 3 that are available (not already taken). Each comes with an explanation of why it's a good choice.

Can I edit the AI suggestions?

Absolutely! The AI suggestions are starting points. You can choose one and customize it, or create your own custom slug from scratch.

How can I get better AI suggestions?

Provide as much context as possible: use the Title, Description, and Keywords fields. The more information you give the AI about your destination page, the better and more relevant suggestions it can generate.
