The problem it solves

You come back from a networking event or meeting with a stack of business cards and no easy way to get them into your contact list without typing each one out by hand. Cards get lost or the details go stale before you ever enter them.

Who it fits

A team or individual who collects business cards at events and wants them organized without manual typing.

How it works

  1. You upload a photo of a business card through a simple form
  2. AI reads the image and extracts the name, title, phone, email, company, and address
  3. The extracted details are cleaned up into a structured record
  4. The contact is saved automatically to your Notion database

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.
