ConnectMachine
ConnectMachine is an AI-powered professional networking and contact management platform, available as mobile apps for iOS and Android as well as through web tools. It allows users to create multiple context-specific digital business cards—such as for work, personal, or social settings—and share them via QR codes, camera scanning, or direct links. Recipients do not need to install an app to receive contact information; pointing their phone camera at the card saves the details directly to their device's contacts. The platform includes AI-driven physical business card scanning, which converts paper cards into clean, searchable digital contacts. In addition, ConnectMachine offers AI conversation recording: users can capture audio at meetings and attach the transcription or notes to the corresponding contact, ensuring that context is remembered. A core feature is the AI Concierge, a natural-language assistant that can search contacts, retrieve past conversations, and schedule follow-ups by integrating with the user's calendar. ConnectMachine positions itself as a tool for building authentic professional relationships. It supports integrations with Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, WhatsApp, and CRM systems, and offers home-screen widgets for quick access. Pricing includes a free tier with limited features and a paid Individual plan that unlocks unlimited scanning, unlimited cards, AI notetaker, and AI Concierge. The service reports growing adoption across 91+ countries and is aimed at professionals who network regularly and want to retain meaningful contact context.
