Short answer

How can I send physical cards using my AI?

Tell your AI what kind of card you need, and it will find artwork, show you a preview, and place the order for you. You get physical cards delivered to your recipient's door without ever leaving your chat interface.

The outcomes

What you get from this task.

The AI manages the logistics so you can focus on the sentiment.

CURATED

Custom art selection

The AI scans the available catalog to find images that match your specific occasion or mood. You get a hand-picked selection instead of scrolling through thousands of options.

VISUAL

Layout previews

Before anything is printed, your agent shows you exactly how the card and message will look. This ensures the final product matches your vision.

AUTOMATED

Physical mail orders

Once you approve the design, the AI handles the transaction and shipping details. The order is placed directly with the printer.

HUMAN

Final approval

You stay in control of the final decision. The AI won't spend money or ship anything until you give the explicit go-ahead.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for a card.

The AI acts as your personal stationery assistant, moving from idea to physical object.

  1. Find the right art

    Your agent looks through the Cardly catalog to find images that fit your description, like 'birthday flowers' or 'minimalist landscapes'.

  2. Get specific details

    get_artwork_details

  3. Show the design

FAQ

How the task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI send the card without my permission?

    No. The AI will only show you previews and wait for your explicit approval before it uses the tool to place an order.

  • 02

    Can I change the physical card after it's been ordered?

    No. Once the order is placed through the tool, the process is handled by the physical printer and cannot be reversed by the AI.

  • 03

    Does the AI choose the recipient's address?

    No. You must provide the recipient's mailing details during the conversation so the AI can include them in the order.

  • 04

    Can the AI write the message inside the card?

    Yes. You can ask your agent to draft a message, and it will include that text in the card preview.
