Short answer

Can my AI check if an email is real?

Yes. Your AI uses the verify_email tool to run real-time checks on specific addresses to see if they will bounce. You'll get a clear status on whether the address is safe to use.

Where every issue lands.

Email validation outcomes

The AI categorizes every check into specific buckets based on the Kickbox response.

VALID

Safe to send

The AI confirms the address is deliverable. You can proceed with your outreach without worrying about bounces.

INVALID

Remove immediately

The AI identifies addresses that don't exist. These are flagged so you can purge them from your list.

RISKY

Handle with care

The AI flags catch-all or risky addresses. You'll see these highlighted so you can decide if they're worth the risk.

MANUAL

Needs your eyes

If the check returns an ambiguous result, the AI hands the specific address back to you for a manual decision.

The workflow

What your AI does when an email arrives.

The AI handles the technical handshake with Kickbox so you don't have to.

  1. Receive address

    Your AI pulls the email address from your chat, a spreadsheet, or a contact list.

    verify_email

  2. Run validation

    The AI sends the address to Kickbox to check syntax, domain, and mailbox existence.

    verify_email

  3. Interpret results

    The AI reads the raw data from the check and translates it into plain English.

    verify_email

  4. Report status

    The AI tells you exactly which addresses are good to go and which ones to skip.

FAQ

How the validation works

  • 01

    Can the AI fix a typo in an email address?

    No. The AI only reports whether the address is valid or invalid. It won't guess what the correct spelling should be.

  • 02

    Does the AI delete invalid emails from my CRM?

    No. The AI only identifies the status of the email. You have to be the one to actually delete or update records in your other tools.

  • 03

    Will this work with any email address?

    Yes, the AI can check any standard email format using the tool.

  • 04

    How does it handle catch-all domains?

    The AI will flag these as risky so you know they might bounce even if they pass basic checks.

  • 05

    Can I verify a whole list at once?

    Yes, if you provide the list in a format your AI can read, like a spreadsheet or a text block, it can process them.
