👋 Hey @science folks,
Here’s a little side quest from my life that turned into something genuinely useful (and kind of cool).
So, I was digging through a mountain of old business cards — English, Spanish, Russian, Thai, Chinese, Turkish… a truly global mess. And I thought: there’s no way I’m entering all this manually into my phone. That’s a lifetime of Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V. No thanks.
🧠 So, I built a Telegram bot - @Fsnewsbot
Just snap a photo of a business card, and it gives you a clean .vcf contact file — ready to save straight into your phone. Powered by OpenAI. No app, no logins, just Telegram and some AI wizardry.
📈 I ran 400 cards through it in one evening. It worked like magic — even with multi-language cards (including Cyrillic and Chinese!).
🎁 I’m giving you 10 scans for free, just to try it out. OpenAI charges for each request, but I’ve got you covered for the first batch.
After that, it’s 8 Telegram Stars for 10 cards, or 80 for 100 — just to keep the lights on. I make zero profit. This is a tool, not a hustle.
🚀 A sample card to test it out — that's the picture attached to this post.
Give it a go, and let me know what you think.
Your @science
