A new visitor enters their name on your website chat. Your AI Agent sends the name to GenderAPI.io, receives a gender prediction with 97% confidence, and greets them with a tailored welcome message. Product recommendations adjust accordingly. Conversion rates climb because customers feel understood from the first interaction, not treated like a generic lead.
A prospect fills out your contact form with just their email. Your AI Agent extracts the name portion, queries GenderAPI.io for a gender prediction, and enriches the CRM record before your sales team even sees it. Reps open a lead with demographics already filled in, cutting research time and enabling targeted outreach from the first touchpoint.
An international customer named Nicola messages your support chat. Your AI Agent detects their Italian IP address, passes both name and country code to GenderAPI.io, and correctly identifies Nicola as male in the Italian context.

FAQs
The agent sends the customer's email to GenderAPI.io's email endpoint, which parses name patterns from the address (like anna.white@, whiteanna@, or awhite@). GenderAPI.io uses its database of millions of names plus AI fallback to return a gender prediction with a confidence score. The agent uses results above your configured threshold.
You set the confidence threshold. If GenderAPI.io returns below your minimum (say 80%), the agent defaults to gender-neutral language instead of guessing. No awkward misgendering. You can also configure the agent to ask a polite follow-up question when predictions are uncertain.
Tars queries GenderAPI.io in real time during conversations. Gender predictions are used to personalize the active session. If you want predictions saved to your CRM, configure that as a separate action. Tars itself does not maintain a gender database of your customers.
Yes. GenderAPI.io supports names in Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other scripts. The API also handles diacritics and accented characters. Your agent can serve international audiences without name-processing limitations.
Names like Andrea, Nicola, and Robin have different gender associations across countries. When the agent passes the ISO country code alongside the name, GenderAPI.io applies region-specific statistical models. This typically increases accuracy by 10-15% for culturally ambiguous names.
Tars needs your GenderAPI.io API key, which you can find in your GenderAPI.io dashboard under API Settings. Enter this key in the Tars Tools section when connecting GenderAPI.io. The key provides access to all prediction endpoints including name, email, and username queries.
Direct API embedding requires custom code for every touchpoint. Tars handles the conversation logic, decides when gender detection is relevant, applies personalization rules, and works across website, WhatsApp, and SMS channels without separate integrations for each. You get smart personalization without engineering overhead.
Yes. GenderAPI.io offers an AI fallback flag that activates when a name is not found in its statistical database. Your agent can enable this parameter for maximum coverage, meaning even unusual nicknames and newly coined names get a prediction attempt rather than returning empty results.
