Short answer

How can I search through my vCard contact files using AI?

Your agent uses the parser to read raw vCard data and index the fields. You can then ask for specific names, companies, or phone numbers to get immediate answers. This turns a flat file into a conversational database.

The results you get

Where your data lands.

The AI processes the raw files and organizes the information into these outcomes.

DATA

Structured contact lists

The AI extracts names, emails, and phone numbers from the raw files. You get clean, organized information instead of a wall of text.

SEARCH

Instant contact lookups

Ask for anyone by company or job title. The AI finds the exact match within the parsed data without you scrolling through files.

FILTER

Targeted contact groups

Identify everyone in a specific city or working at a certain firm. The AI pulls these subsets of people for you instantly.

HUMAN

Manual verification

You decide which contacts are accurate or need updating. The AI handles the heavy lifting of reading, but you keep control over the final list.
