AI Business Card Reader APP
Global IndonesiaThis app allows users to capture a photo of any business card, and the AI automatically extracts contact details—such as name, role, company, phone number, and email—and stores them directly in a Microsoft List. It streamlines contact management by removing the need for manual data entry. The solution was created to replace Excel-based contact tracking, which often had inconsistent formats and misplaced data. By automating data extraction from business cards, the app ensures accurate, standardized entries in Microsoft Lists, making contact management easier to maintain, search, and use

Asia and the Pacific MongoliaA year-long project to equip Mongolian law-enforcement officials with AI-based and open-source intelligence (OSINT) techniques to investigate human-trafficking cases in the digital era. Launched in July 2023 in collaboration with the Bali Process Regional Support Office (RSO) and the Coordination Council of Crimes Prevention of Mongolia, and supported by the IOM Development Fund, the project delivered the first artificial-intelligence-based cyber-crime investigation training to law enforcement in Mongolia. Through a unique multi-workshop format, the same officers from six law-enforcement and intelligence agencies built skills across three OSINT sessions over six months (Jan–Jun 2024), covering search-engine techniques, officer privacy and safety, digital-footprint analysis, semi-automated and automated data scraping, and the use of AI-generated tools (e.g. ChatGPT), with each technique applied to trafficking-in-persons case studies. The work responds to traffickers' growing misuse of social media, dating apps and false job advertisements, and aligns with Mongolia's Vision-2050 and Digital Nation strategies and the IOM Strategic Plan's emphasis on protecting migrants through evidence-based, innovative solutions.
