Short answer

How can I send checks using my AI?

You can send digital checks via email or request physical checks to be mailed to a recipient. Your AI uses the Checkbook.io MCP to execute these payments based on your instructions. You'll see the specific outcomes below.

Payment outcomes.

Where every payment lands.

Depending on how you instruct your agent, the payment takes one of two paths.

DIGITAL

Instant email delivery

The AI sends a digital check directly to the recipient's inbox. This is best for immediate needs.

PHYSICAL

Mailed paper checks

The AI requests a physical check to be printed and sent through the mail. Use this for traditional payments.

HUMAN

Manual review required

You must confirm the recipient's details and the payment amount before the AI executes the transaction.

LOGS

Payment confirmation

Your AI provides confirmation once the digital or physical request is successfully processed.

The workflow

What your AI does when a payment is requested.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of formatting the request and routing it to the right delivery method.
