What is an AI digital business card?

It's a hosted vCard page generated for you by AI from a few prompts — name, role, and what you want to highlight. Taproo's AI drafts your bio, picks layout and colour palette, suggests social links to include, and produces a print-ready QR plus an optional NFC card you can tap on someone's phone.

How is this different from Canva or Vistaprint AI business cards?

Those tools generate a printed paper card design. Taproo generates a *digital* card — a permanent URL with save-to-contacts, scan analytics and an optional NFC card. Update your job title once and every QR you've shared updates instantly. No reprints, ever.

Is the AI generator free?

Yes. AI-drafted digital cards and the QR are free on every Taproo plan. Pro adds advanced scan and tap analytics (location and device), 30 days of history and watermark-free PNG, SVG and PDF downloads. Lead-capture pages are available on the free plan too. NFC business cards are an optional one-off hardware purchase; current models and prices are listed in the Taproo shop.

What does the AI actually generate?

From a short prompt the AI produces: a polished bio, a suggested job-title line, a colour palette matched to your industry, a logical order for your contact methods, and 3–5 social links to include. You can edit anything before publishing.

Will an AI-generated card look generic?

No. The AI uses your inputs (industry, tone, target audience) to draft something specific to you, then you tweak in our editor. You can also upload a photo or logo and the layout adapts around it.

Does the NFC card work on iPhones?

Yes. Every iPhone from XS (2018) onwards reads NFC tags natively from the lock screen — no app, no setup. Older phones use the printed QR fallback.

Can I see scans and taps on my card?

Yes. Taproo records interactions for your card. Free includes basic scan and tap analytics; Pro adds advanced location and device analytics. Current monthly allowances and retention periods are published on the pricing page.
