Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bills AI really as smart as Copilot Money?
Bills AI runs on GPT-4, Claude 3, or Gemini Pro — the same foundation models that power most consumer AI products today. You pick which model to use. Copilot has a proprietary categorization engine; both produce similar quality output for typical transactions.
Can I track investments with Bills AI like I do in Copilot?
Not yet. Bills AI is laser-focused on spending analysis — finding forgotten subscriptions, hidden fees, and unnecessary spending. For brokerage / net-worth dashboards, Copilot is the broader tool. Many users run both: Bills AI for monthly statement audits, Copilot for portfolio.
Why no bank linking? Isn't that less convenient?
It's a privacy-vs-convenience tradeoff. Linking via Plaid means a third-party has continuous read access to your accounts. If you're uncomfortable handing over credentials, or your bank isn't supported, Bills AI works with a PDF you download manually. Most banks offer 1-click PDF download.
Does Bills AI support Vietnamese, Korean, or other non-US banks?
Yes — this is a major reason people switch from Copilot. Bills AI works with VCB, Techcombank, BIDV (Vietnam), KB / Shinhan / Toss / Kakao (Korea), and 500+ banks globally. Copilot Money is US/Canada/UK only.
Can I migrate my Copilot Money data to Bills AI?
You don't need to. Just upload your last 1-3 bank statements (PDF), and Bills AI will analyze and categorize everything from scratch in under a minute.
Real People, Real Money Recovered

“Categorization is scary accurate. What used to take me 3 hours every month now takes 30 seconds. Found $77 in bank fees I could've avoided.”
“Finally, a finance app that isn't sketchy. Bank-level encryption, zero data sharing. Saved $176 in the first month by cutting unnecessary SaaS tools.”
