# Crawl4AIProspectWizard stepbystep guide
A threestage demo that goes from **LinkedIn scraping****LLM reasoning****graph visualisation**.
```
prospectwizard/
├─ c4ai_discover.py # Stage 1 scrape companies + people
├─ c4ai_insights.py # Stage 2 embeddings, orgcharts, scores
├─ graph_view_template.html # Stage 3 graph viewer (static HTML)
└─ data/ # output lands here (*.jsonl / *.json)
```
---
## 1  Install & boot a LinkedIn profile (onetime)
### 1.1  Install dependencies
```bash
pip install crawl4ai openai sentence-transformers networkx pandas vis-network rich
```
### 1.2  Create / warm a LinkedIn browser profile
```bash
crwl profiler
```
1. The interactive shell shows **New profile** hit **enter**.
2. Choose a name, e.g. `profile_linkedin_uc`.
3. A Chromium window opens log in to LinkedIn, solve whatever CAPTCHA, then close.
> Remember the **profile name**. All future runs take `--profile-name <your_name>`.
---
## 2  Discovery scrape companies & people
```bash
python c4ai_discover.py full \
--query "health insurance management" \
--geo 102713980 \ # Malaysia geoUrn
--title_filters "" \ # or "Product,Engineering"
--max_companies 10 \ # default set small for workshops
--max_people 20 \ # \^ same
--profile-name profile_linkedin_uc \
--outdir ./data \
--concurrency 2 \
--log_level debug
```
**Outputs** in `./data/`:
* `companies.jsonl` one JSON per company
* `people.jsonl` one JSON per employee
🛠️ **Dryrun:** `C4AI_DEMO_DEBUG=1 python c4ai_discover.py full --query coffee` uses bundled HTML snippets, no network.
### Handy geoUrn cheatsheet

## 3  Insights embeddings, orgcharts, decision makers
```bash
python c4ai_insights.py \
--in ./data \
--out ./data \
--embed_model all-MiniLM-L6-v2 \
--top_k 10 \
--openai_model gpt-4.1 \
--max_llm_tokens 8024 \
--llm_temperature 1.0 \
--workers 4
```
Emits next to the Stage1 files:
* `company_graph.json` intercompany similarity graph
* `org_chart_<handle>.json` one per company
* `decision_makers.csv` handpicked who to pitch list
Flags reference (straight from `build_arg_parser()`):
| Flag | Default | Purpose |
|------|---------|---------|
| `--in` | `.` | Stage1 output dir |
| `--out` | `.` | Destination dir |
| `--embed_model` | `all-MiniLM-L6-v2` | SentenceTransformer model |
| `--top_k` | `10` | Neighbours per company in graph |
| `--openai_model` | `gpt-4.1` | LLM for scoring decision makers |
| `--max_llm_tokens` | `8024` | Token budget per LLM call |
| `--llm_temperature` | `1.0` | Creativity knob |
| `--stub` | off | Skip OpenAI and fabricate tiny charts |
| `--workers` | `4` | Parallel LLM workers |
---
## 4  Visualise interactive graph
After Stage 2 completes, simply open the HTML viewer from the project root:
```bash
open graph_view_template.html # or Live Server / Python -http
```
The page fetches `data/company_graph.json` and the `org_chart_*.json` files automatically; keep the `data/` folder beside the HTML file.
* Left pane → list of companies (clans).
* Click a node to load its orgchart on the right.
* Chat drawer lets you ask followup questions; context is pulled from `people.jsonl`.

## 5  Common snags
| Symptom | Fix |
|---------|-----|
| Infinite CAPTCHA | Use a residential proxy: `--proxy http://user:pass@ip:port` |
| 429 Too Many Requests | Lower `--concurrency`, rotate profile, add delay |
| Blank graph | Check JSON paths, clear `localStorage` in browser |
---
### TL;DR
`crwl profiler``c4ai_discover.py``c4ai_insights.py` → open `graph_view_template.html`.
Live long and `import crawl4ai`.
