How this task behaves.
- 01
Can the AI send the money for me?
No. The AI only generates the IBAN. You must manually perform the transfer in your banking app.
- 02
Does the AI store my bank account numbers?
No. The AI uses the details to call the tool and then the session proceeds without storing your sensitive data.
- 03
What if the sort code is wrong?
The tool will return an error if the details are invalid. The AI will tell you that the conversion failed.
- 04
Can it convert non-European account numbers?
The tool is specifically for IBAN generation. If a country doesn't use the IBAN system, the tool won't produce one.
- 05
Can the AI change my bank details in my spreadsheet?
No. The AI can read your spreadsheet to find details, but it cannot write or modify your files.
