KoratA paper card gets lost; a screenshot of one has to be retyped by hand. The staff ID card an employee carries in My workplace comes out of the same issuing system, seen from the employee's side. Korat's card is a small structured record — name, title, business, contact fields — that a recipient can add to their phone's own address book in one tap, rather than a picture of text they have to transcribe.
Personal cards, and cards a business issues
Anyone can hold a personal card. A business can also issue cards to its staff — a manager's card and a cashier's card can carry different fields and a different look — from a template the business sets once in the business console and applies to whoever needs one. A jobseeker's side of the same identity works differently again — the résumé a business opens when you apply for a job is pulled from your profile, not from this card.
Four ways to hand one over
A card can be shared as a QR code someone scans off your screen, a link sent in chat or anywhere else, a .vcf file — the standard contact-card format — that opens straight into the recipient's phone contacts app, or by writing it to an NFC tag from inside Korat, so a tap against a sticker or a card-shaped tag on the counter hands over the same details without either phone doing anything special.
Writing an NFC tag needs a phone with NFC hardware and Android's NFC turned on. Reading a written tag works the ordinary way any phone reads an NFC tag; writing one needs Korat's own write screen, since that is what puts your card's data onto the physical tag in the first place.
A card carries no verification of its own: what a business page can actually evidence is set out under trust badges. A recipient opening the .vcf file adds a contact on their own phone — nothing is written back to Korat and the card owner is not notified of who imported it.
