ConnectMachine
AI networking assistant with digital business cards and a personal CRM that remembers why you met
Digital cards with QR and Wallet sharing
Create unlimited digital business cards and share them by QR code, link, AirDrop or an Apple/Google Wallet pass. The recipient does not need to install anything to view your card.
AI Concierge network search
Ask questions about your network in plain language and get answers that combine saved cards, notes and meeting context instead of a raw alphabetical list.
AI Note Taker and follow-up autopilot
Record a voice note as you leave a meeting; it is transcribed, summarized and attached to the correct contact, and a ready-to-send follow-up is drafted a couple of days later.
Bulk business card scanner
Turn single paper cards, or whole stacks, into searchable digital contacts, and keep the original scanned image alongside the structured record.
Strengths & Pros
+Nothing for the other person to download — QR, link or Wallet pass just works
+Memory layer (place, time, voice notes) makes contacts genuinely searchable later
+AI Concierge answers natural-language questions across your entire saved network
+
Free tier is usable long term, and there are native iOS, Android, Watch and Mac apps
Limitations
–Advanced AI features such as the Note Taker and Concierge sit behind the paid Individual or Team plans
–Some users will not need the persona/identity-switching layer and may prefer a simpler card app
