AI reads the card, both sides
Name, company, phone, email, address and website are saved from one photo. Send the back side and it goes on the same contact.

Expo Agent, inside WhatsApp
The old way
Cards. Bowl. Notebook. Excel after the show.
Every stall does it. Every stall loses leads to it: follow-ups go out days late, nobody remembers who asked what, and the pile gets retyped by whoever drew the short straw.

Features
Everything a booth needs, nothing it doesn't.
A visiting card scanner, a voice-note contact list and an automatic follow-up in one WhatsApp thread — exhibition visitor management without a CRM to learn.
Voice & text notes on every contact
Tap Add Voice/Text Note after a card and say what you discussed. It's saved against that person, so nobody asks "who was this?" on Monday.
Your visiting card sent to every visitor
Each user's own visiting card is set up at signup. The visitor gets it on WhatsApp and email while they're still at your booth. On every plan, Trial included.
Catalog, brochure & documents, automatically
On Business and Enterprise, your catalog and brochure go out with the follow-up. Change them up to five times a year on Business, unlimited on Enterprise.
From your own WhatsApp number & email
Business and Enterprise send from your number and your inbox, with fully customised, branded messages. Trial and Starter send from krid.ai's number on your behalf.
Google Contacts-ready Excel
Type "give me excel" in the chat. Every contact, every note and every card photo, in a file that opens straight into Google Contacts.
Whole team, one list
Up to 3 users on Starter, 5 on Business, custom on Enterprise. Each rep scans from their own phone into the same shared list.
Your logo on the email
From Starter up, the follow-up email carries your company logo. (WhatsApp messages don't show a logo — that's WhatsApp, not us.)
Your data stays yours
Kept separate from every other customer's, encrypted, never sold and never used to train AI. Deleted on request from Starter up.

Business plan · before you connect WhatsApp
Your own WhatsApp number. Five things to have ready.
Your visitors will get your follow-up from your number. Meta's connect screen takes a few minutes — only if these five are in place first. Don't worry, our Expert Support team helps you on every step.
See the five checks and what changes after you connect
-
1
The number is on the WhatsApp Business app, and logged in
Not the regular WhatsApp app. The phone with that number must be with you when you connect.
How to check: the app icon says "WhatsApp Business" and has a "B" in it. In the app, Settings → your profile shows the business name and number.
-
2
No Meta AI subscription on the account
If the number has a Meta AI subscription, cancel it first — Meta won't let it connect.
How to check: in the app, Tools → Meta Business Agent (older versions: "Your AI agent"). If it shows an active plan, cancel it there. No "Meta Business Agent" entry means you're clear.
-
3
Not connected to any other partner
WATI, AiSensy, Interakt or any other WhatsApp tool must be disconnected. A number can only be linked to one partner at a time.
How to check: in the app, Settings → Account → Business Platform. If it shows a connected platform, disconnect it there. Also check Settings → Linked devices for a tool logged in as a device. On the web: business.facebook.com → Settings → WhatsApp accounts → your account → Partners tab must be empty.
-
4
A card Meta accepts on your Meta Business account
Meta bills your messages directly, and in India only cards that support the RBI e-mandate work — Visa or Mastercard from HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Kotak, SBI, IndusInd and most major banks.
How to check: business.facebook.com → Settings → WhatsApp accounts → your account → Payment settings. "No payment method found" means you'll add one after connecting (the connect guide shows how). Meta's full list ↗
-
5
Your Meta Business account is verified
Business verification done in Meta Business Manager — legal name, address and a registration document. If it's still pending, connect after it clears.
How to check: business.facebook.com → Settings → Business info. Look for "Business verification: Verified" with a green dot. "Not verified" or "In review" means wait for it to clear. How to verify ↗
After you connect — keeps working as before
- Your WhatsApp Business app, on the same phone, same number
- Chatting with customers 1:1 — replies show in the app and in krid.ai
- Your contacts, catalog, labels and quick replies
- Groups (they just don't sync to krid.ai)
Stops or changes
- Manual broadcast lists stop. Existing lists become read-only — bulk sends go out from krid.ai instead
- Disappearing messages, view-once media and live location are switched off in 1:1 chats
- Linked devices may need re-linking once
- Past chats stay on your phone. krid.ai only sees new messages from the moment you connect — no history is copied
Never share any email, Facebook or Meta password, any OTP, or any payment card details with anyone at krid.ai — not even the Expert Support team. Always turn off screen sharing while entering passwords and payment details.
Then: open the connect link we send you, sign in with the Facebook account that owns the Meta Business, and pick this number. Use the exact number you registered with us — a different one won't connect.
Business plan · before you connect email
Your own email. Four things to have ready.
Your visitors will get your follow-up email from your inbox, with your name on it. Connecting takes two minutes on Google's or Zoho's own sign-in screen.
See the four things to have ready and how to connect
Gmail / Google Workspace
Personal @gmail.com works too — as does a company email on Google Workspace
Zoho Mail
Any company email hosted on Zoho Mail
Not yet
Outlook, Yahoo, Rediffmail and other providers — coming later
-
1
The business inbox you want visitors to hear from
Use the address visitors should reply to — sales@yourcompany, or your own Gmail if that's what you run the business from. Tell us the exact address; it's the one we'll send the connect link for.
-
2
The person who can sign in to it
Connecting means signing in on Google's or Zoho's own screen and clicking Allow. Whoever has that login does this step — it takes two minutes. If two-step verification is on, keep the phone handy.
-
3
The sender name visitors will see
Your name or your company name — e.g. Rohan Kapoor · NOVA. It goes on every follow-up email.
-
4
What the email should carry
Your logo, visiting card, catalog and brochure are already with us from signup. Tell us if a different file should go out, or if the email needs a specific signature line.
Safe by design
- Never send us your password. Sign-in happens only on Google's or Zoho's secure screen — we never see it and will never ask for it
- Nothing changes in your inbox. You keep using it as before; krid.ai only sends the follow-up emails
- Revoke any time. Google: Account → Security → Third-party apps. Zoho: Accounts → Connected apps
Then
Open the connect link we send you, sign in with the exact address you gave us (pick it if you're signed in to several), review the permissions, click Allow, wait for "Success!" and tell your krid.ai contact you're done.
For exhibitors across India
Built for trade shows and exhibitions, not for the office.
Expo Agent is a visiting card scanner, an exhibition lead capture tool and an automatic follow-up in one — made for the week an Indian SME exhibits.
A visiting card scanner that also follows up
Most business card scanner apps stop at saving the card to your phone. Expo Agent reads the visiting card in WhatsApp, saves every field as a contact, keeps your voice note against it, and sends the visitor your company details, catalog and brochure on WhatsApp and email while they are still at your booth. The follow-up is the point; the scan is just how it starts.
Exhibition visitor management without a CRM
No logins, no training, no data entry after the show. Every rep scans from their own phone into one shared list, and the whole show comes back as a Google Contacts-ready Excel with every note and card image. Expo lead management for a team that would rather sell than type.
Works at every show, every venue
It only needs a phone with WhatsApp, so it works at any trade fair or B2B exhibition in India — Bharat Mandapam and Pragati Maidan in Delhi, India Expo Mart in Greater Noida, Bombay Exhibition Centre and Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, BIEC in Bengaluru, HITEX in Hyderabad, Chennai Trade Centre, and the show in your own city. Your card quota covers the whole year, not one event.
Who uses it
Gems and jewellery exhibitors, garment and textile makers, machine tool and industrial manufacturers, home furnishing brands, auto component suppliers, nurseries and agri businesses, packaging companies and consultants — Indian SMEs with a booked stall and a team of one to five on the floor.
Google reviews
Rated 5.0 by the businesses we work with.
What customers say about krid.ai on Google — across WhatsApp, calling and lead handling.
Earlier, enquiries that came in at night or on Sundays just sat there till Monday. Now the WhatsApp bot replies instantly, asks the right questions, and the lead is ready for us in the morning. We've closed a few deals we would have lost.
We get a lot of IndiaMart enquiries and most of them were junk. My team was wasting half the day calling people who were never going to buy. Krid now filters and qualifies them first, and we only call the serious ones. Our follow-up time has dropped a lot.
We're a manufacturing business, not a tech company, so I was worried about setup. The Krid team did everything: WhatsApp API, training the AI on our product catalogue, testing. It went live without us having to figure anything out.
Craftslane signed up with Krid.ai some 6 months ago, and we have to say that the experience has been amazing! With an incredibly proactive team with high agility, and very low response times, the process has been seamless. We have received many bulk orders with the help of our AI Agent and this was exactly the objective when we signed up. So KUDOS to a great Team & great Work!
The AI calls sound natural and the lead qualification is accurate. The first two weeks needed some tweaking to get the script right for our product, and the dashboard took time to learn. Now it's working well and my sales team only talks to interested buyers.
One of the best WhatsApp marketing platforms I have experienced! My experience with Krid AI has been really good. The product is user-friendly, effective, and makes WhatsApp marketing and lead management much easier. What I appreciate the most is not just the product, but the team support. The Krid AI team is very helpful, responsive, and always ready to guide whenever there is any issue or question.
We are enjoying working on use cases and workflows with Krid AI, looking forward to great ROI together.
Krid.ai is very simple to use and very helpful in our lead handling.
Amazing high quality AI automation for lead management.
I really appreciate how it helped me with practical solutions.
FAQ
Questions people ask us. Simple answers.
How it works, what it costs, and what happens to your data. Have another question? WhatsApp +91 85277 34152.
How it works
Is Expo Agent a business card scanner app?
It scans visiting cards, but there is no app to install: it runs inside WhatsApp. Photograph the card, every field is saved as a contact, and the visitor automatically receives your company details, catalog and brochure on WhatsApp and email. A scanner app stops at saving the card; Expo Agent also does the follow-up.
Do my staff have to learn a new app?
No. There is no app. It works inside WhatsApp, which your staff already use every day. They take a photo of the visiting card and send it. That's it.
Why not collect the cards now and follow up after the show?
Because by then the visitor has forgotten you. With Expo Agent, your card and catalog reach the visitor while they are still standing at your booth. They remember you.
What does the visitor get?
One message on WhatsApp and one email. It has your visiting card and your company details. On the Business plan it also has your catalog and brochure, and it goes from your own number and email. Nothing else is ever sent to them.
The card has details on the back side too.
Send a photo of the back side as well. Both sides are saved to the same contact.
Where do I write what we talked about?
After sending a card, tap Add Voice/Text Note. Speak or type what you discussed. It is saved with that person's contact.
How do I get all my contacts in one file?
Type Give me excel in the chat. You get an Excel file with every contact, every note and every card photo. You can open it in Google Contacts directly.
Can I import the contacts into my CRM?
Every plan gives you an Excel with every contact, note and card photo that opens straight into Google Contacts and imports into any CRM that accepts a spreadsheet. Direct CRM integrations are part of the Enterprise plan.
Does it work at any exhibition or trade show in India?
Yes. It needs only a phone with WhatsApp, so it works at any venue in India, at every show you attend during the year. Your plan's card quota is for the whole year, not one event.
Plans & price
Plans & price
What do I get for ₹999?
500 visiting cards for one full year, at every show you attend, for up to 3 people from your team. The Business plan is ₹4,999 for 2,500 cards and 5 people. GST is extra.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. Your first 5 cards are free. Sign up at platform.krid.ai/subscribe and try it on your own visiting card today. You can upgrade any time.
Is there any other cost?
Only one, and only on the Business plan: if messages go from your own WhatsApp number, Meta bills you directly for each message at Meta's current rate. That's all. All prices exclude GST (18%).
Do I need a Meta Business account on the Trial or Starter plan?
No. On Trial and Starter the follow-up goes from krid.ai's WhatsApp number and email, on your behalf. You only connect your own number and inbox on the Business plan.
My show is in two days. Is there time?
Yes. Setup takes about ten minutes, on WhatsApp. Give us your visiting card, logo and catalog at signup and you are done. Our Expert Support team helps you at every step.
What if we go over our card limit mid-show?
Upgrade to the next plan any time from the same subscribe link, or tell us on WhatsApp and we'll size the right plan before your show. Enterprise plans carry a custom quota.
Using your own number & email (Business plan)
Using your own number & email (Business plan)
Can I still use my WhatsApp normally?
Yes. Same phone, same number, same WhatsApp Business app. You chat with customers exactly as before. Only two things change: you can no longer send broadcast lists from the app (krid.ai sends them for you), and disappearing messages, view-once photos and live location stop working in one-to-one chats.
Can you see my old chats?
No. Your old chats stay on your phone. We see only the new messages that come after you connect. Nothing from before is copied.
Do I have to give you my Facebook or email password?
Never. You type your password only on Meta's, Google's or Zoho's own screen. We never see it. Nobody from krid.ai will ever ask for a password, an OTP or your card details. If someone does, it is not us.
Which email providers work?
Gmail (including personal @gmail.com), Google Workspace and Zoho Mail today. Outlook, Yahoo, Rediffmail and others are coming later.
Your data — is it safe?
Your data — is it safe?
Where is my data kept? Who can see it?
On krid.ai's own secure servers. Your data is kept separate from every other customer's, locked with encryption, and only you can see it. We do not share it with anyone, and we never sell it.
Do you use my contacts to train your AI?
No. Our Terms say it in plain words: your data is never sold and never used to train AI.
Whose data is it?
Yours. The contacts you collect belong to you. We only hold them for you and do what you tell us. You can download the full list any time.
Can I get my data deleted?
Yes. On Starter and above, just ask and we delete it. When you close your account, we delete your data anyway, except the billing records the law says we must keep.
What about my visitors' details?
They are treated with the same care as yours. The message reaches your visitor from your number and your name. How we handle their details is written in our Privacy Policy, which has a section just for WhatsApp. The plans, payment rules and our promises about your data are in the Terms of Use.
Prefer a call?
