Conversational Research Flow
Research conversation example
User: "I'm preparing for a sales call with Stripe. Can you research their payments infrastructure team and identify the key decision makers I should connect with?"
AI Agent: I'll help you research Stripe's payments infrastructure team. Let me gather comprehensive information about their organization and key personnel.
[Agent calls get_organization_ids with Stripe's LinkedIn URL]
[Agent calls get_employee_list with infrastructure-focused filters]
Based on my research of Stripe's organization:
**Company Overview:**
- Organization ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
- Name: Stripe
- LinkedIn ID: 2135371
- Total employees analyzed: 1,247
**Payments Infrastructure Team (47 members):**
**Key Decision Makers:**
1. **Sarah Chen** - VP of Infrastructure Engineering
- Seniority: VP_DIRECTOR
- Focus: Platform reliability and scalability
2. **Michael Rodriguez** - Director of Payments Platform
- Seniority: VP_DIRECTOR
- Focus: Core payments processing
**Technical Leadership:**

Sales Pipeline Enhancement
Sales workflow integration
class SalesWorkflowEnhancer:
def __init__(self, lookc_client, crm_client):
self.lookc = lookc_client
self.crm = crm_client
async def enrich_lead(self, lead_id: str) -> dict:
"""Automatically enrich CRM leads with LookC data."""
# Get lead information from CRM
lead = await self.crm.get_lead(lead_id)
company_url = lead.get('company_linkedin_url')
if not company_url:
return {'status': 'no_linkedin_url'}
# Research company using LookC
org_info = await self.lookc.call_tool('get_organization_ids', {
'linkedin_url': company_url
})
# Get key stakeholders
stakeholders = await self.lookc.call_tool('get_employee_list', {
'org_id': org_info['orgId'],
'seniority_levels': ['PARTNER_CXO', 'VP_DIRECTOR'],
'limit': 50
})
# Update CRM with enriched data
enrichment_data = {
'company_size': len(stakeholders['employees']),
'decision_makers': [
{
'name': emp['name'],
'title': emp['title'],

self.lookc = lookc_client
self.llm = llm
async def research_for_sales_call(self, company_linkedin_url: str, focus_area: str) -> str:
"""Conduct comprehensive research for sales preparation."""
# Step 1: Get company information
org_info = await self.lookc.call_tool('get_organization_ids', {
'linkedin_url': company_linkedin_url
})
# Step 2: Research relevant team members
team_members = await self.lookc.call_tool('get_employee_list', {
'org_id': org_info['orgId'],
'title_regex': self._get_title_pattern(focus_area),
'seniority_levels': ['PARTNER_CXO', 'VP_DIRECTOR', 'MANAGER'],
'limit': 100
})
# Step 3: Generate insights using LLM
insights = await self._analyze_research_data(org_info, team_members, focus_area)
return self._format_research_report(org_info, team_members, insights)
def _get_title_pattern(self, focus_area: str) -> str:
"""Map focus areas to relevant job title patterns."""
patterns = {
'infrastructure': 'infrastructure|platform|devops|sre|reliability',
'security': 'security|ciso|infosec|compliance|privacy',
'data': 'data|analytics|ml|ai|science',
'payments': 'payment|billing|fintech|financial',
