Short answer

How do I split a business meal bill with my AI?

Give your agent the itemized list, the tax, and the tip. The AI uses the split_bill tool to assign a proportional share of those extras to each individual item. You'll get a clean, itemized breakdown for your reimbursement.

The results you get

Where the math lands.

The agent processes your receipt data into these specific outcomes.

PROPORTIONAL

Fair tax distribution

The AI calculates the exact tax owed for each specific item. You get a breakdown where the tax matches the subtotal perfectly.

ACCURATE

Precise tip allocation

Instead of a flat percentage, the tool spreads the tip across items. This ensures the math stays consistent with the actual food costs.

READY

Reimbursement lists

You receive a clear list of costs per item. This makes it easy to copy the data into your expense report or accounting software.

HUMAN

Manual review required

The AI handles the math, but you must verify the final totals against your physical receipt before submitting anything.

The workflow

What your AI does when the receipt arrives.

Your agent takes your raw text or image data and runs it through a specific mathematical process.

FAQ

How the splitter behaves

  • 01

    Does the AI change the actual receipt?

    No. The AI only processes the data you provide to create a new mathematical breakdown. It cannot edit your original files.

  • 02

    Can it handle split checks for different people?

    Yes, if you tell the agent how many people are splitting or which items belong to whom, it will distribute the tax and tip accordingly.

  • 03

    Will the AI automatically submit my expenses?

    No. The AI only generates the math. You are responsible for taking that data and submitting it to your company's expense system.

  • 04

    Does it work with handwritten receipts?

    It depends on your AI client's ability to read images. If your agent can read the text from the photo, the tool can process the math.

  • 05

    Can the AI decide how much tip to leave?

    No. You must provide the specific tip amount you want to distribute. The tool only performs the math based on your input.
