Can my AI agent find a specific business card by just a first name?

Yes. Ask the agent to run the `search_biz_cards` tool with the contact's name. 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`.
