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.
Review the Same Statement Three Ways
Compare Bills AI on its workflow, evidence, and privacy model—not unsupported ratings or savings claims.
Bills AI groups recurring charges from the uploaded statement so you can decide which services are still useful.
Fee transactions are highlighted in context, making each result easy to verify against the original statement.
Category summaries turn a long statement into a smaller set of spending decisions without requiring a live bank connection.
