Overview

Workflow Basic: Business Card Reader is an official Dify starter template. You upload up to five photos or scans of business cards; a vision-capable AI model reads them and returns the name, job title, company, website, phone and email as a structured list. Notes inside the template also explain the three basic building blocks of a Dify workflow. It suits anyone who comes back from an event with a pile of cards, and people new to Dify.

It is a three-step workflow you can read in a minute, so it doubles as a gentle first lesson in building with Dify.

Try these first

Start with the first one: it is a small task you can check easily.

  1. Upload a photo of your own business card and check every field in the result against the card.First try · uses AI credits

  2. Upload these five cards from today's event: [photos]sends images to AI

  3. Change the LLM prompt so it also picks up LinkedIn profiles and translates foreign-language cards.

  4. Publish the workflow as a web page your team can use.shares the app

How it works

From the creator's documentation.

2 · Read the cardA vision-capable model reads each imageYour AI provider
3 · Contact listName, job title, company, website, phone and email as a structured listDify (cloud or your own)

Good to know

Turn a stack of business cards into contact details you can paste into a spreadsheet or address book. The model reads each card image and lists the main fields.

Limits

  • Cards hold other people's contact details, and the images are sent to your model provider. Check each phone number and email against the card before saving it.
  • The model must support images, with vision turned on in the LLM node.
