CardAction
LaunchedAI business card scanner that extracts contacts instantly, syncs to Google Sheets, and enables WhatsApp follow-ups — all offline. Free to start.
CardAction is a mobile app that uses on-device AI to scan and extract contact details from any business card. It's designed for professionals, sales teams, event organizers, and anyone who collects business cards and needs to quickly digitize, organize, and act on contacts. The core problem it solves is eliminating manual data entry and lost cards, enabling immediate follow-up via WhatsApp, email, or phone.
What Makes CardAction Stand Out
- AI-Powered OCR: Uses on-device machine learning to accurately capture names, emails, phone numbers, job titles, and companies from standard or stylized cards — even with poor lighting or unusual fonts.
- Batch Scanning: Scan an entire stack of 50 cards in one session. The app processes each one and saves contacts automatically, making it ideal for conferences and trade shows.
- Google Sheets Sync: Every scanned contact is automatically pushed to a Google Sheet in real time, perfect for sales teams and event organizers who need centralized data.
- Instant Follow-Up Actions: After scanning, you can tap to send a WhatsApp message, make a call, send an email, or SMS — directly from the app, reducing the time from meeting to follow-up to seconds.
- Offline Capability: All scanning and OCR processing happens entirely on the device. No internet connection required for scanning, and contacts sync when back online.
Who Should Use CardAction
- Sales professionals and business developers who attend events and need to quickly convert contacts into leads with immediate follow-up.
- Event organizers and conference managers who collect hundreds of attendee cards and want to digitize and organize them without manual data entry.
- Entrepreneurs and freelancers who network frequently and want a simple way to keep their contact list organized and accessible, while being able to act on new connections instantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CardAction really free?
Yes. The free plan gives you 3 scans per day with no time limit and no sign-up required. You can download the app and start scanning immediately. Upgrade to Pro only if you need unlimited scans, batch scanning, or integrations.
How accurate is the scanning?
CardAction uses advanced on-device AI to achieve near-perfect accuracy — even with stylized fonts, vertical layouts, or non-English text. If a field isn't recognized correctly, you can tap to edit it before saving.
Can I export my contacts?
Absolutely. You can export contacts as vCard files (compatible with any CRM or email client), sync directly to Google Sheets in real time, or push data to your own systems via webhooks. Your data is always portable.
