The results.

Where the data lands.

The AI processes the input and routes the results based on the output.

CLEANED

Valid IBAN strings

The AI strips all noise and returns a pure string. You get a clean value ready for your database.

INVALID

Failed validation flags

If the input is fundamentally broken, the AI identifies it as invalid. You'll know exactly which entries are unusable.

MANUAL

Human review needed

When the input is too garbled to parse, the AI flags it for you. You decide how to fix these specific cases.

LOGS

Processing history

Every attempt is tracked. You can see what was cleaned and what failed in your chat history.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Will the AI change the actual bank account number?

    No. The AI only removes non-alphanumeric characters like spaces and dashes. It does not alter the digits or letters themselves.

  • 02

    Can the AI fix an IBAN that has the wrong country code?

    No. If the country code is wrong, the validation will fail. The AI identifies the error but won't guess the correct code for you.

  • 03

    Does it work with bulk lists?

    Yes. You can paste a list of messy strings, and the AI will process them one by one.

  • 04

    Can the AI automatically update my database with the clean IBANs?

    No. The AI provides the cleaned strings to you in the chat. You must move that data into your database yourself.

  • 05

    What happens if the input is just random text?

    The AI will attempt to find an IBAN pattern. If it finds nothing that looks like a bank code, it will report that no valid IBAN was found.
