# Card Context

> Card Context is an event networking CRM for people who meet a lot of people. Scan business cards and LinkedIn/WhatsApp QR codes, remember where and why you met someone, ask an AI assistant questions about your own network, and never drop a follow-up.

Card Context is not a digital business card app and not a full sales CRM. Digital card apps optimise the moment you hand over your details; Card Context optimises everything that happens after: who you met, at which event, what you said you would do, and whether you did it. It is a mobile-first PWA with a desktop cockpit.

## What makes it different

The core concept is the **Context**: the event, conference, dinner, or meeting where you met someone. Every contact belongs to a Context, so instead of scrolling an undifferentiated address book you recall people the way memory actually works — "the people I met at Web Summit" — and you can run a per-event recap and follow-up sweep.

## Core capabilities

- Unified scanner: one camera view that reads physical business cards (AI OCR) and detects LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and WeChat QR codes automatically, with no mode switching.
- Contexts: group every contact by the event or meeting where you met, with goals, focus tags, and an event recap.
- AI assistant: ask your network questions in plain language — "who could help me build a mobile app?", "who did I meet at Web Summit that I never followed up with?", "summarise my pipeline". It reads notes, tags, companies, titles, and contexts, and returns real contact cards. Threads are saved.
- Voice memos: record a note right after a conversation (English and French) and have it transcribed onto the contact.
- Follow-ups: scheduled reminders in a Today queue, plus reusable quick-message templates for Email, SMS, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn.
- Imports and deduplication: import from your phone's address book, vCard, or CSV, with side-by-side duplicate review and merge instead of silent duplicates.
- Pipeline: drag-and-drop stage board on desktop.
- Public card: a shareable /card/username profile with a QR code and vCard download.
- Agent access (MCP) and a generic export API, so ChatGPT, Claude, or your own tooling can read and write contacts.

## Plans

- Free: core scanning with a monthly scan quota, contexts, contacts, the assistant, and the public card.
- Pro: unlimited scanning, AI event recaps, quick-message templates, automated follow-up rules, a custom username, CSV/vCard import and export, and MCP/agent access.

## Who it is for

Good fit: founders raising or selling at conferences, sales and BD people working trade shows, independent consultants whose pipeline comes from events, recruiters at meetups and career fairs, and community or event organisers.

Not a good fit: teams needing a full multi-seat sales CRM with deal forecasting and quotas, anyone who only wants a digital business card to hand out, or teams that require deep native integrations with Salesforce or HubSpot today (export and agent/MCP access are the current bridge).
