It will look through all digitized cards in the shared corporate database and return the matching profiles, including their company, department, and direct contact details. **Is it possible to list only contacts from a specific department?** Yes, you can ask your agent to first execute `list_departments` to view your organizational structure, and then cross-reference those entities with the cards via natural prompts to summarize card acquisitions per department. **What is the difference between business cards and persons?** Business Cards are individual scan snapshots of physical cards acquired over time. A 'Person' represents the consolidated identity created when multiple updated cards from the same individual are merged. You can query both views via `list_biz_cards` or `list_persons`.
