FAQ
Booth Capture and Brella: questions
Is Autessa Booth Capture an alternative to Brella?
Yes, for exhibitors. Autessa Booth Capture is an event lead capture app: AI badge scanning from a photo, QR and vCard reading, voice-note qualification, offline capture, AI follow-up drafts and a direct handoff to Autessa CRM.
How is Booth Capture different from Brella?
Booth Capture is part of Autessa CRM, so leads, events and booth history live in the same system as your pipeline. It qualifies leads from a voice note and drafts follow-ups from the conversation into each rep’s own Gmail.
Can I customize Booth Capture?
Yes. Brella sponsors can set scan questions, and Brella builds custom integrations. Autobot lets you change the app itself from a plain-language request, down to the code.
Can Claude or another AI agent reach my booth leads?
Yes. Brella lists an API integration, and we did not find an MCP server on its pages. The Autessa MCP gives Claude, ChatGPT or your own agent your leads, notes and events.
Can I try Booth Capture at one event first?
Yes. Start free or book a demo, create an event and capture at your next show.
