ConnectMachine is an AI-powered networking and contact management application for professionals who attend conferences, run business meetings, and build professional relationships. It replaces paper business cards with smart digital cards, uses OCR to scan physical cards into searchable contacts, and provides an AI concierge that recalls who you met, what you discussed, and when to follow up.
Key Features
- AI Concierge -- A private agent that understands your network and answers natural-language questions about your contacts, meetings, and calendar. You can ask "who did I meet at the last conference" or "schedule a meeting with Martin next week" and the agent handles the rest.
- Smart Digital Cards -- Create multiple role-based virtual cards with field-level visibility control. Share via QR code, NFC, or AirDrop. Recipients do not need the app to receive your card, and their contact information is automatically captured when they scan yours.
- OCR Business Card Scanning -- Point your phone camera at any physical business card and the AI extracts the information into a structured, searchable contact record with high accuracy.
- Agentic Recall -- The agent remembers who you met, when, where, and why the interaction mattered. It maps interactions to events, locations, and notes so you can retrieve context on demand.
- Voice-Accessible Queries -- Hold to talk and speak in natural language to get answers or trigger workflows without typing.
- Webhook Integrations -- Send new contacts to CRM platforms like Zoho, HubSpot, or Salesforce via Zapier, Make, or Pabbly Connect using built-in webhook support.
- Apple and Google Wallet Support -- Save your digital card to Apple Wallet for lock-screen access, making it available without opening the app.
- CSV Export -- Export your entire contact database to CSV format for backup or migration.
How It Works
After installing the iOS or Android app and signing in with a secure passcode or biometric, you create your first virtual card by selecting a template and choosing which fields to display. You can then add your card to Apple Wallet for quick access. To capture a new contact, scan a physical business card or share your digital card via QR code. When someone scans your code, their contact details are automatically captured through the shareback feature. The AI concierge learns your preferences over time, understanding your preferred meeting times, locations, and follow-up patterns. You can ask it natural-language questions about your network and it will retrieve relevant contacts and context.
Use Cases
- Conference Networking -- Replace stacks of paper business cards with one-tap digital exchanges. Record voice notes immediately after each conversation and let the AI organize contacts by event.
- Sales and Business Development -- Track every prospect interaction with context, schedule follow-ups through the AI concierge, and push new contacts to your CRM automatically via webhooks.
- Executive Relationship Management -- Maintain a private, searchable record of every professional relationship with meeting notes, locations, and follow-up reminders without the complexity of a full CRM.
- Team Collaboration -- Centralize team networking efforts with shared dashboards and consistent contact capture across all members.

Affiliate Program
ConnectMachine operates an official partner program for consultants, agencies, and business service providers. Partners earn recurring commission on referred clients for as long as those clients remain subscribed. The program includes revenue sharing, training resources, and co-marketing support. Applications are accepted through the partner portal at partner.connectmachine.ai/apply.
Privacy and Data Control
ConnectMachine is designed as a privacy-first platform with no public feeds, no open messaging, and no social exposure. Your contact data is export-only with no third-party write-back. You control exactly which fields are visible on each shared card. An offline QR mode is available for areas with limited connectivity, and the app works without an internet connection for core contact capture.
Limitations
- The platform is mobile-only with iOS and Android apps; there is no web dashboard or desktop application at this time.
- Language support is currently limited to English, with Russian localization in development and other languages planned.
- The company is a small early-stage startup founded in November 2025, which may affect the pace of feature development and long-term stability.
- Some users have reported that auto-text notifications sent to contacts after scanning can create confusion about the sender's intent, though a toggle to control this behavior was added in version 2.0.12.
