Short answer

How can I clean up messy address data with AI?

Your AI uses Smarty to pull address information out of raw text and then checks every location against official records to ensure they are real. You get a standardized, verified list ready for shipping or mailing. Here is how the process works.

Where every issue lands.

The results of your cleanup

Once the AI processes your data, it organizes everything into these four categories.

CLEAN

Verified locations

The AI finds valid, standardized addresses. These are ready to use for shipping or database updates.

FIXED

Corrected typos

The AI fixes common formatting errors or small typos in street names and zip codes.

INVALID

Non-existent places

The AI flags addresses that don't exist in the real world so you don't waste resources.

REVIEW

Needs human eyes

The AI flags ambiguous or incomplete data that requires you to make a final call.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

Your AI handles the heavy lifting of parsing and checking every single line.

  1. Pulling addresses from text

    The AI scans your messy spreadsheets, emails, or chat logs to find anything that looks like a physical location.

    extract_addresses

  2. Checking US locations

    Every US-based address is checked against official postal records to ensure it is accurate.

    validate_us_address

  3. Checking international locations

    For addresses outside the US, the AI runs a separate check to confirm they are valid.

    validate_intl_address

  4. Standardizing the output

    The AI takes the verified data and formats it into a clean, consistent structure.

    validate_us_addressvalidate_intl_address

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI fix my original spreadsheet directly?

    No. The AI processes the data and provides you with a clean list, but it does not write back to your original file.

  • 02

    Does it work for addresses outside the US?

    Yes, the AI can validate international addresses using specific tools for that purpose.

  • 03

    Will the AI delete any of my data?

    No. The AI only reads your data to extract and validate information; it has no permission to delete anything.

  • 04

    What happens if an address is slightly wrong?

    The AI will attempt to correct it, but if it can't be certain, it will flag it for you to review manually.

  • 05

    Can it validate PO Boxes?

    Yes, as long as the postal service recognizes them as valid delivery points.
