Short answer
How can I use AI to verify client info?
Your AI uses Abstract API tools to check if VAT numbers are real and if email addresses actually work. This prevents typos and fake signups from entering your system. You'll see the breakdown of how the agent processes these checks below.
Where every issue lands.
Data validation outcomes
The AI sorts incoming data into these categories based on the API results.
VALID
Clean data accepted
The AI confirms the VAT and email are legitimate. It flags these records as safe to import into your CRM.
INVALID
Bad data caught
The AI identifies broken email formats or fake VAT numbers. It marks these for immediate rejection.
RISKY
Needs human review
The AI finds suspicious patterns, like a valid email but a mismatched VAT. It flags these for you to check manually.
REJECT
Automatic block
The AI detects high-risk entries that fail both checks. It prevents these from ever reaching your main database.
The workflow
What your AI does when data arrives.
The AI acts as a gatekeeper, running specific checks on every new piece of client information.
Check email status
The agent pings the email address to see if it's active and reachable. This stops bounces before they happen.
validate_emailVerify tax IDs
The AI checks the provided VAT number against official records to ensure the company is registered.
validate_vatCross-reference details
The agent compares the company name against the VAT data to catch mismatches. It uses the results from both tools to find inconsistencies.
validate_emailvalidate_vatFlag for review
If the data is partially correct but looks suspicious, the AI moves the record to a manual review queue.

How this task behaves
- 01
Can the AI fix a typo in a VAT number?
No. The AI can only tell you if the number is valid or invalid. You have to fix the typo yourself.
- 02
Will the AI automatically update my CRM?
No. The AI identifies which data is good or bad, but you decide when to push those changes to your CRM.
- 03
Does it check if an email is a spam trap?
Yes, the email tool checks for deliverability and valid addresses.
- 04
Can it verify business addresses?
No. This specific setup only handles VAT numbers and email addresses.
- 05
What happens if the VAT check fails?
The AI will report the failure to you, allowing you to flag the client or ask for corrected info.
