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
