What is ConnectMachine?
ConnectMachine is a digital business card and contact management app for iOS and Android, built as a "relationship memory layer" for professionals. It takes as input your own card details or photos of physical business cards, and produces shareable digital cards, searchable contacts, AI-generated notes, and follow-up reminders. Developed by ConnectMachine, it was named #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt and carries a 4.7/5 rating from 22K users.
Key Features
- Digital cards — Build multiple context-specific cards (Free plan includes up to 4; Individual plans allow unlimited) and share via QR code or link; recipients need no app to view or save them.
- AI business card scanner — Point your camera at any paper card; the AI reads the details into a clean contact record. Free plan limits this to 3 scans; Individual removes the limit.
- AI Notetaker — Record conversations on the spot, attach audio to a contact, and have the AI transcribe the meeting, extract key follow-ups, and auto-tag with location, timestamp, and event details.
- AI Concierge — Talk to your contacts and calendar in natural language: search ("who did I meet at the conference?"), schedule meetings, set reminders, and add events via Google Calendar.
- CRM integration — On Individual and Team plans, sync contacts upstream to CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot.
- Wallet integration — Add any card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet for one-tap access.
- Offline mode — Create, share, and scan cards without an internet connection; data syncs when you're back online.
- Privacy controls — GDPR-compliant with data localization, encrypted data, and cards that reveal only what you choose.
