The full journey

From chat to CRM, on autopilot

1 · Card + voice note in WhatsApp or Telegram

2 · Lands in your dashboard, transcribed

3 · Export a CRM-ready CSV

4 · Import to HubSpot, Zoho, Salesforce…

How it works

From handshake to CRM in three steps

01

Snap it in WhatsApp or Telegram

At the event, send the card photo to your bot. Add a voice note with the context (who they are, what they wanted) before you forget.

02

AI does the typing

Karo reads the card, transcribes your voice note, and turns everything into one clean contact record in seconds.

03

Export to your CRM

Review and confirm in the dashboard, then download a CRM-ready CSV for HubSpot, Zoho, or Salesforce. No retyping, ever.

Features

Built for the way events actually work

Fast, forgiving capture in the hallway. Clean, structured data when you're back at your desk.

Automatic card reading

First, middle and last name, title, company, email, phone and website, all extracted from a photo with a confidence score on every scan.

Voice context, transcribed

The reason a lead matters evaporates within days. Attach a voice note and keep the original audio plus a searchable transcript.

WhatsApp & Telegram native

No new app to install or teach. If you can send a photo to a chat, you can capture a lead in under ten seconds, on either app.

Fix it by replying

The bot replies with the extracted contact. Answer “ok” to confirm, or “company: Acme Inc” to correct a field on the spot.

A dashboard that keeps up

Every capture lands in a web dashboard: search, edit, review the card image, replay the voice note.

Never lose a capture

Even if extraction fails, the photo and audio are saved and flagged for review. A bad scan is recoverable; a lost card isn't.

Pricing

Simple yearly plans, sized by how much you scan

Pay for a single show or for the year. The scanning window is short; your contacts are not. Leads from a $97 event stay in your dashboard for 3 months. Every paid plan puts your whole team on one shared lead list, with no per-seat charge. New accounts start with 20 free scans, no card required.Prices in USD. You're billed the equivalent in your local currency.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is Karo?+

Karo is a business card scanning tool for event lead capture. You photograph a business card in Telegram or WhatsApp, and Karo's AI turns it into a structured, CRM-ready contact (name, title, company, email, phone, and website) within seconds, along with a transcript of any voice note you attach.

How does Karo work?+

Three steps: (1) send a photo of the business card to the Karo bot on Telegram or WhatsApp, (2) optionally add a voice note or text with context, which Karo transcribes and attaches, (3) review the contact in your web dashboard and export a CRM-ready CSV. Cards, voice, and text sent within two minutes are grouped into one contact.

Which CRMs does Karo work with?+

Karo exports a generic CSV that imports cleanly into HubSpot, Zoho, Salesforce, Pipedrive, and any other CRM that accepts CSV contact imports. Columns include first/middle/last name, job title, company, email, phone, website, event, notes, and the voice transcript.

Does Karo work on WhatsApp?+

Yes. Karo works on both Telegram and WhatsApp. You link either (or both) to your account with a one-time code and capture cards from whichever chat app you already use. No new app to install.

Can I tag leads with the event I met them at?+

Yes. Send the bot "/event" followed by the event name (for example, /event SaaStr EU 2026) and every card you capture afterwards is tagged with that event, searchable in the dashboard and included in the CSV export.

How much does Karo cost?+

Every new account starts with 20 free scans, valid 7 days, no card required. After that: $97 per event for up to 300 scans, or $497 a year for up to 3,000 scans across unlimited shows. Both include unlimited team members sharing one lead list. Beyond 3,000 scans a year, talk to us about Enterprise.

What happens after the 7 days on the per-event plan?+

The 7 days is the scanning window, not how long you keep your leads. Once it ends you stop capturing new cards, but every contact you captured stays in your dashboard for 3 months, and you can still view, edit and export them. Export is available on every plan, including the free trial, so nothing you capture is locked in.

The next card you collect could be a customer
