The record

Product: v5.ink provides link shortening, management, analytics, and AI traffic detection.
AI detection: It detects AI agent traffic such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini, and offers per-link AI Traffic Scores and weekly reports.
Traffic analytics: Analytics break traffic down by human, AI agent, or bot and include agent trends, country, device, browser, and source.
Routing: Links can route AI agents and humans to different destinations, with geo, device, operating system, and browser routing rules.
Social previews: The product supports custom Open Graph previews for social sharing.
Integrations: The site lists Cloudflare, Tinybird, Stripe, Clerk, and Neon as infrastructure providers.
API and MCP: API access and MCP Server are available on Pro and Max; API rate limits depend on the plan.
Privacy: The privacy policy says click analytics include anonymized IP address, user agent, referrer, derived country, device type, and browser type.
Cross-site tracking: AI detection uses click data and does not track individual users across sites.
Retention: The privacy policy lists analytics retention as 7 days on Free, 90 days on Pro, and 365 days on Max.
Detection limit: The terms say AI agent detection relies on user agent analysis and may not be 100% accurate.
Support: The Pro and Max plans include priority support, and Max includes a dedicated account manager.
Intended users: The site presents the product for SaaS companies, e-commerce brands, content creators, and marketing teams.
