# Every card becomes a person

Photograph a business card in the Marrow chat, or choose one from your photos. Marrow reads it into a person, says what it saved, and asks whether to look up their public profile.

## Every field on the card, filed

Name, role, company, email, website, address, PO box and city go into the person, with every phone and its label.

A QR code is read, and wins over the print.
A badge counts; an Arabic only card stays Arabic.
Hard to read? Marrow asks before it files a guess.
With the writer on, it goes to your phone’s contacts.

## A stack of cards, one line each

Up to 20 photos in one message; several cards in one photo become several people, each on its own line.

## Each photo counts against your plan

Photos count: 100 a month on Standard. A card's QR profile link is read at once, as a lookup.

JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB each.
Other lookups run when you say yes, and count too.
A cleaned copy is kept 30 days, then deleted.
In Beta: read the reply for a misread field.
