Blinq is a contacts platform for people who meet people. It starts with a digital business card that replaces paper, then extends into scanning contacts, enriching them with AI, saving notes, and sending everything to a CRM. It works on iOS, Android and the web.
The company describes it as an AI contacts platform for the real world. It states that more than 4 million people across 500,000 companies use it, including employees at 93% of the Fortune 500.
How does Blinq work?
A user creates a card in the app with contact details, a photo, links and a company logo. The card can be shared by QR code, NFC tap, link, text, email, widget, wallet or Apple Watch. If the recipient has no app, the card opens in a browser, where they can save it and send their details back.
For capture, the scanner reads badges, paper cards, QR codes and LinkedIn profiles, even offline. AI enrichment fills in title, phone, verified email and LinkedIn from 25+ live sources, and the contact syncs to the CRM or phonebook.
Key features of Blinq
Beyond cards, Blinq offers email signatures, virtual meeting backgrounds, NFC cards, and event badge support. AI Notetaker saves a transcript, summary and next steps from in-room or phone conversations, and tags and notes stay attached to each contact.
Team features include locked logos, colors and fonts, admin-controlled templates, automated card provisioning and a corporate contact book. Blinq MCP connects contacts to Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot and Grok, and CRM Context shows open deals and history after a scan.
