The problem it solves

After a networking event you end up with a stack of business cards that sit on your desk for weeks before anyone types them into a spreadsheet. By the time you follow up, the moment has passed.

Who it fits

Sales professionals and small business owners who collect business cards in person.

How it works

  1. You send a photo of a business card through LINE
  2. AI reads the card and pulls out the name, company, title, email, and phone
  3. The contact is added as a new row in Google Sheets
  4. Your team gets notified in Slack, and a thank-you email goes out automatically
  5. You get a confirmation message back in LINE
What you get

Business cards turned into saved contacts

Send a photo of a business card and the contact gets saved and shared with your team automatically, without any typing.

What you get

A new contact record in Google Sheets, a Slack notification, and an automatic thank-you email.

What you need

A LINE Messaging API account, a Google Gemini API key, a Google Sheets account, a Slack workspace, and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
