How to check conversion job status with your AI

Connect Zamzar to your AI client once. After that, you can ask your agent to monitor your file conversions for you.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How do I check my Zamzar conversion status?

Your AI uses the get_job tool to pull the current state of any active conversion. It will tell you if the file is still processing or if it's ready to download. You'll see the specific progress details right in your chat.
