Met someone with a card? You can create a new contact in seconds using our built-in scanner — no typing required.


📱 How to scan a card

  1. On the home screen, tap Scan Card

Our AI will automatically extract the relevant information from the card. This includes:

  • And other available details

After a few seconds, the extracted data will appear on-screen for you to review.
