Covve nudges you. Fasrad does the follow-up for you.

Fasrad as a Covve alternative

Covve scans your business cards, keeps your contacts deduplicated and tells you when you've gone quiet on someone. That's genuinely useful, and for a lot of people the reminder is the whole product. Then the reminder fires and surfaces a name. You open Gmail, dig up the last thread and try to remember what you talked about. You write something that doesn't sound like a form letter and send it. If you're disciplined, you go back and mark that you reached out.

Fasrad is a hosted AI agent with its own email inbox and calendar, plus a CRM it actually reads from and writes to. When a 'reach out to Maria' moment comes up, it can pull the last three emails you exchanged and see that she mentioned a Q3 hiring push. It drafts a note that references it and logs the interaction the second you hit send. The agent maintains the contact record while it works, so you never do the data entry.

Where the line falls:

• Covve is an address book. Card scanning, contact enrichment and dedupe are its core.
• Fasrad is the operator. It reads the thread, writes the reply, books the meeting and updates the record in one pass.
• Covve reminds. Fasrad reminds, then does the thing it just reminded you about.
• Fasrad's CRM lives next to a real inbox, a calendar, web browsing and automations, so each contact connects to the rest of your work.

Pick Fasrad when reminders pile up unanswered because writing the actual message is the bottleneck. That's the gap it's built for.

Frequently asked questions

Can I move my Covve contacts into Fasrad?

Yes. Export your contacts from Covve as a CSV and the agent imports them, deduplicates against anything already in the CRM and can group them as it loads. Notes and tags carry over as contact fields and notes.

Covve's card scanning is great. Does Fasrad do that?

Yes. Snap or forward a photo of a business card and Fasrad reads it with OCR, pulls the name, title, company, email and phone, and files a contact. Covve offers a dedicated mobile-scanner flow for stacks of cards at an event. Fasrad parses the card too, pulls contacts from LinkedIn, company sites and pages you're reading via its browser extension, and then handles the follow-up.

Does it send emails on its own without me seeing them?

By default the agent drafts and waits for you. You can grant it more autonomy, for example sending a queued check-in batch staggered across the day. The standard flow is draft, you approve, it sends, so you stay in control of what goes out under your name.

What about the actual reminders to stay in touch? Are those automatic?

Yes, and you set them in plain language in place of per-contact frequency dials. Tell the agent 'remind me about anyone I haven't emailed in 30 days and draft a check-in,' and it runs that as a scheduled task. It checks the inbox and CRM, finds the quiet contacts and brings you drafts.

Is there a mobile app like Covve has?

Fasrad runs on the web and as a private Telegram bot, so on your phone you use it through Telegram or your mobile browser. For a quick 'who is this and when did we last talk' on the go, message the agent in Telegram and it answers. Then it can act on the answer right there by drafting the follow-up, booking the call or logging the touch.

What does it cost compared to Covve?

Start with a 7-day free trial. Full access, no card needed. Then $49 per month. Covve is a lower-priced personal CRM, so on contact management alone it's cheaper. Fasrad costs more because it does the work the reminder used to hand back to you: reading threads, drafting, booking and logging across email, calendar and automations. You can connect a Covve export and an inbox before you've finished your coffee.
