ConnectMachine

What ConnectMachine is

ConnectMachine is a digital business card app and personal CRM for people who network for work. It lets users share a card as a QR code, a pass for Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, or a link usable on any phone. Paper business cards can be scanned into searchable contacts. Its AI Note Taker transcribes and summarizes voice notes, then associates them with the relevant contact. The AI Concierge lets users search their saved cards, notes, and meetings in plain language to find relevant context.

The product lists Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion, Google Contacts, Slack, Zapier, and MCP among its integrations; Zapier and MCP connect to 5,000+ apps. Contacts can be imported from a phone book, Google Contacts, CSV, or VCF, and the product lists email sync and contact reminders. ConnectMachine says contact data is exportable, encrypted at rest with AES-256 and scheduled key rotation, and deleted after a 30-day reconsideration period. Its privacy policy says the app displays third-party ads and that advertising partners may access device advertising identifiers and related usage data. Apps are available for Android, iOS, and macOS, with API access. The free plan is listed at $0 per month; the Individual plan is $5.00 per month billed annually, while the pricing note says paid plans start at $5.99/user/mo.
