How an AI assistant on a digital business card works.
The short answer
Five steps, the same on every profile. You control the first and the fourth.
- 1
You give it what it may say
Add website links, upload files such as a price list or brochure, and write a few questions and answers yourself. Free learns from up to three sources, Pro from up to twenty.
- 2
Someone opens your profile
They tap your NFC card, scan your QR or open your link. The profile loads in their phone’s browser with the assistant on it. No app, no account.
- 3
It answers from your material only
The visitor types a question. The assistant answers from your sources, in the language they wrote in, and shows which source the answer came from. If the answer is not there, it says so.
- 4
It asks for their details
When the visitor is interested, it asks for what you chose: name, WhatsApp, email, company. They decide whether to share them.
- 5
The lead lands in bl1nk
You get the contact with a summary of what they asked. On Pro, the lead is enriched, scored and given a drafted follow-up for WhatsApp or email.
Add your website, a price list, a brochure and the questions you answer every week. Set the tone and choose what it asks for. Remove a file and it stops using it.
Links, files and your own answers
Free learns from up to three sources, Pro from up to twenty.
Your tone
Formal, warm or friendly, in Arabic and English.
Your questions
Choose the details it asks for: name, WhatsApp, email, company.
An assistant on a card is useful because it is narrow. These limits are on purpose.
It will
- Answer from your links, files and written answers, and show which one
- Reply in the visitor’s language, Arabic or English
- Ask interested visitors for the details you chose
- Save each lead with a summary of what they asked
- Say “I don’t know” and offer to pass the question to you
It will not
- Answer from the open internet or guess
- Give legal, medical or financial advice
- Make phone calls or send messages on its own
- Run on your website: it lives on your bl1nk profile
- Run without limits on Free: it works within fair use, and Pro raises the limits
The first question tells you most of what you need to know about a lead. These are typical of what each kind of team hears.

Contacts and follow-upWhat is an AI assistant on a digital business card?
A chat on your digital business card’s profile that answers the people who open it. On bl1nk, it answers from the links, files and answers you give it, in Arabic or English, and asks interested visitors for their details so they become leads.
Does it make things up?
It is built not to. It answers only from your sources and shows which one it used. When a question is outside them, it says it does not know and offers to take the visitor’s details so you can reply yourself.
Can I read the conversations?
You see every lead with a summary of what they asked, and Insights shows the questions people ask most. On Free, you see the count of leads and can read the last three; Pro shows all of them.
Do visitors have to leave their details?
No. The assistant asks, and the visitor chooses. Many will ask a question and leave; the ones who share their number are usually the ones worth calling.
What is included on Free and on Pro?
Free: the full assistant for your visitors, within fair use, learning from up to three sources. Pro, at $5 a person a month billed yearly: up to twenty sources, higher limits, every lead readable, enrichment and scoring, drafted follow-ups, Ask bl1nk AI and integrations.
Can I put the assistant on my website?
No. It lives on your bl1nk profile, the page people open from your card, QR or link. If you need a chat on your own website, that is a different kind of product.
