Card to Chat by AIPIA
checking

Photograph the card.

You'll be in WhatsApp with them in under a minute.

Check it, then send.

Fix anything the scan got wrong — this is the last stop before they hear from you.

The card you photographed

Your opening message

WhatsApp opens with this ready to send. Nothing goes out until you tap send yourself.

Your leads.

Amber means they're still waiting on you.

Settings.

Set this up once, on good wifi, before the show.

Who's making contact

Where you are

Messages only name a place while an event is running. Otherwise they just say it was good to meet — never a guessed venue.

Events you already know about

The country code is used when a card prints a local number with no prefix.

Card reading

Stored only on this device, in this browser. Get one at console.claude.com — it's pay-as-you-go and separate from your Claude subscription. A scan costs a fraction of a cent.

Offline engine

Download this now, on good wifi. If the hall wifi dies, the app falls back to reading cards on the phone itself — no signal needed. Every competing scanner stops working at this point.

Message template

Used when there's no API key, or as the base the AI works from. Placeholders: {firstname} {name} {company} {title} {me} {mycompany} {offer} {cta} and {met} — which becomes “we spoke at <event> just now” during an event, and “good to meet you just now” when there isn’t one.

Data

Everything lives in this browser on this phone. Nothing is sent anywhere except the card image, which goes to Anthropic only when you're using the API key. Clearing your browser data wipes your leads, so export before you do.
