Short answer

How can I use my AI to split a restaurant bill?

Give your AI the total amount, the number of people, and the tip percentage you want to leave. It will use the split_bill_share tool to calculate the exact amount each person owes. You'll get a breakdown of the base cost and the tip per person.

The results you get

What you'll see

Once you provide the bill details, your AI handles the math and organizes the data.

MATH

Exact per-person totals

The AI calculates the base cost and the tip for every individual. You get a single number for each person to pay.

TIP

Custom tip amounts

Tell your AI if you want to leave 15%, 20%, or any other amount. It adjusts the math instantly.

GROUP

Equal share distribution

The AI divides the total evenly across your entire group. It ensures the math adds up to the original bill.

HUMAN

Final payment check

The AI provides the numbers, but you still need to physically send the money or pay the server.

The workflow

What your AI does when the bill arrives.

The AI takes your raw numbers and runs them through a specific calculation tool.

  1. Receive bill data

    Your AI listens for the total amount, the group size, and your desired tip percentage.
