AI Agent Workflow

This skill is designed to be called by an AI agent as part of a prospecting workflow:

Step 1: Find Events

"Search Luma for AI and SaaS events in San Francisco"

python3 scripts/scrape_event.py --search "AI San Francisco" --events-only

Step 2: Extract Guest Profiles

"Get all guest profiles from those events"

python3 scripts/scrape_event.py --search "AI San Francisco" --output guests.csv

Step 3: Qualify Against ICP

Ask the agent to filter the CSV:

"From these guests, find founders/VPs at B2B SaaS companies, 20-200 employees"

Step 4: Enrich

For qualified leads:

• Look up LinkedIn profiles for role/company details
• Research their companies
• Check for overlapping signals (hiring? recently funded?)

Step 5: Generate Outreach

"Draft connection requests for qualified guests. I'll be at [event]. We sell [product] at [price]. Keep it casual."

Data Access Realities

Data	Direct Scrape (free)	Apify Search (paid)
Event metadata	Yes	Yes
Hosts/organizers	Yes	Yes
Featured guests (public RSVPs)	Sometimes	Yes
Full attendee list	No (requires auth)	Partial (public profiles only)
Guest LinkedIn/Twitter	Yes (if in page)	Yes
Guest bio	Yes (if in page)	Yes
Guest email	No	No

Note: Luma events have a show_guest_list setting. When disabled, guest profiles aren't publicly accessible. The Apify scraper can still get featured_guests for events that have them.

Example Prompts

Quick search:

"Find AI events in SF this month and get me guest profiles"

Targeted:

"Search Luma for 'SaaS growth' events. Export all guest profiles to CSV. Then qualify against our ICP: VP+ at B2B SaaS, 50-500 employees."

Full workflow:

"Search Luma for AI and developer events in SF. Get all guest profiles. For each person with a LinkedIn, check if they match our ICP (founders/VPs at B2B SaaS, 20-200 employees, Series A-C). Draft pre-event connection requests for the ones I'll see at [event name]. We sell GTM engineering at $10K/month. Output qualified leads to CSV."

Troubleshooting

"APIFY_API_TOKEN not set"

export APIFY_API_TOKEN="your_token_here"

"Apify actor not rented"

Rent the Luma scraper at: https://console.apify.com/actors/r5gMxLV2rOF3J1fxu

No guests found for an event

• The event may have show_guest_list disabled
• Try the --search mode which can access featured_guests
• Some events simply don't have public guest profiles

"ModuleNotFoundError: requests"

pip3 install requests
