Use Cases

Currency questions answered in real time

See how businesses with international customers use AI agents to handle pricing inquiries, invoice conversions, and forex data requests without manual lookups.

International Pricing Without the Mental Math

A prospect from Japan asks how much your $99/month plan costs in yen. Your AI Agent calls the CurrencyBeacon convert endpoint, calculates the precise JPY equivalent using the latest mid-market rate, and presents it with the conversion rate for transparency. The prospect sees pricing in their local currency without you maintaining a multi-currency pricing page. Conversions stay accurate because rates update every 60 seconds.

Historical Rate Verification for Invoice Disputes

A client disputes an invoice, claiming the exchange rate you applied was incorrect. Your AI Agent queries CurrencyBeacon's historical rates for the exact invoice date, retrieves the rate that was in effect, and presents it alongside the charged amount. The dispute resolves with verifiable data. Your finance team avoids a manual audit by getting the answer in one conversation.

Weekly Forex Briefing for International Sales Teams

Your sales team operates across EUR, GBP, and USD markets. Every Monday, your AI Agent pulls time-series exchange rate data for the past week from CurrencyBeacon, summarizes the key movements, and flags any rates that shifted more than 2%. The team walks into client calls prepared with current forex context. No more surprises when quoting cross-border deals.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How current are the exchange rates the AI agent provides?

Rates are sourced from CurrencyBeacon and updated based on your subscription plan. The free tier updates hourly, while paid plans can refresh as frequently as every 60 seconds. The agent always fetches the latest available rate at the moment of the query, so customers receive the most current mid-market price.

Does the agent support cryptocurrency conversions alongside fiat currencies?

Yes. CurrencyBeacon covers 170+ fiat currencies and over 2,000 cryptocurrencies. The agent can convert between any supported pair, whether that is USD to EUR, BTC to GBP, or ETH to JPY. Specify 'crypto' or 'fiat' when listing available currencies to see the full scope.

How far back can the agent retrieve historical exchange rates?

The CurrencyBeacon historical rates endpoint provides data going back to January 1, 1996. The agent can retrieve the exact exchange rate for any date within that range for any supported base currency. This is particularly useful for financial audits, invoice verifications, and historical reporting.

What is the difference between the convert endpoint and the latest rates endpoint?

The convert endpoint takes a specific amount and returns the converted value in the target currency, ideal for customer-facing price quotes. The latest rates endpoint returns exchange rates for all or selected currencies against a base, useful for dashboards, comparisons, or when you need multiple rates simultaneously.

Does Tars cache or store the exchange rate data it retrieves?

No. Every rate query triggers a live API call to CurrencyBeacon. Tars does not maintain a local cache of exchange rates. This ensures customers always receive the freshest available data rather than a potentially stale cached value.

Can the agent generate rate trend charts for specific currency pairs?

The agent retrieves time-series data between two dates using the CurrencyBeacon timeseries endpoint, providing daily rates that can power trend analysis. While the agent presents the raw data conversationally, the structured output can be fed into visualization tools or dashboards for charting.

How do I get a CurrencyBeacon API key for this integration?

Sign up at currencybeacon.com and access your API key from the dashboard. The free plan includes 5,000 API calls per month with hourly rate updates. Enter this key in the Tars dashboard when connecting the Currencyscoop tool. Paid plans offer higher call limits and faster update frequencies.

Can the agent handle bulk conversions for multiple currency pairs at once?

The latest rates endpoint supports a symbols parameter that accepts a comma-separated list of target currencies. So the agent can retrieve rates for EUR, GBP, JPY, and AUD against USD in a single call. For individual amount conversions, each currency pair requires a separate convert call, but the agent handles these sequentially within the same conversation.
