How to verify user identity with your AI

Connect Mono to your AI client to automate identity checks. Once connected, your agent handles the heavy lifting of verifying user credentials.

Short answer

How can I verify user identity using my AI?

Your AI uses the get_identity tool to pull real-time BVN and personal details from Mono. This allows your agent to confirm a user is who they say they are during onboarding. You'll see the results directly in your chat interface.

Identity outcomes

Where verification results land.

What happens after your AI runs a check.

VERIFIED

Confirmed user details

The AI pulls matching BVN and identity data. You get a clear confirmation that the user's information is valid.

FLAGGED

Discrepancy alerts

If the provided details don't match Mono's records, your AI flags the mismatch. This tells you exactly where the data failed.

PENDING

Manual review needed

When identity data is incomplete or ambiguous, the AI notifies you. You decide if the user needs to provide more info.

LOGGED

Audit trail ready

The AI summarizes the verification attempt. You can use these summaries to track onboarding progress in your logs.

The workflow

What your AI does when a user submits details.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat and Mono's identity database.

  1. Collect user data

    Your agent asks the user for their BVN or specific identity details required for the check.

    get_identity

  2. Execute identity check

    The AI calls the Mono tool to cross-reference the provided details against official records.

    get_identity

  3. Compare results

    Your agent compares the returned data from Mono with the information the user provided.

    get_identity

  4. Report findings

    The AI tells you if the identity is verified or if there is a mismatch that requires your attention.

FAQ

How identity verification behaves

  • 01

    Can my AI change user data in Mono?

    No. The AI can only read identity information using the get_identity tool. It cannot modify or delete records in Mono.

  • 02

    Does the AI store the BVN numbers?

    No. The AI uses the data to perform the check and then passes the result to you. It does not save sensitive credentials to its own memory.

  • 03

    What happens if the BVN is invalid?

    The AI will report that the identity could not be verified based on the data returned from Mono.

  • 04

    Can I use this to update user profiles?

    No. This specific tool is for verification only. It does not have the capability to write or update information in your database.

  • 05

    Do I need to manually type the BVN every time?

    You can paste the details into the chat, or if you are using an agent with access to your current user context, it can pull them automatically.
