 "title": "Sample AI engines by hand with no API keys",
 "page_title": "How to sample AI engines by hand with no API keys with Geolook",
 "summary": "Use a weekly buyer-intent sheet and the Chrome sampling assistant to collect AI answers without paying for API access.",
 "who": "A small team that wants AI engine data but has no engine API budget, or that needs to sample engines without public APIs.",
 "problem": "Many important engines have no API, and sampling them by hand is slow and inconsistent.",
 "outcome": "A weekly buyer-intent queue that the Chrome extension fills in and submits back to the local dashboard as samples, cutting a weekly check from about 30 minutes to about 10.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `git clone https://github.com/aigclink/geolook.git` and `pip3 install requests beautifulsoup4 lxml`, then skip the engine key step.",
  "Run `python3 scripts/geo.py ui` to start the dashboard.",
  "Run `python3 scripts/geo.py sample-sheet --intent buyer --limit 20` to export the weekly buyer-intent sheet. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Load the extension/ folder as an unpacked Chrome extension and open its side panel to work through the queue.",
  "Launch the disposable sandbox with `./extension/sandbox.sh` so each session starts clean. (inferred, check the README)"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the geolook repo at <repo path>, export the buyer-intent sample sheet and list the 20 questions with their intent group. Confirm that the Chrome extension side panel shows the same queue, then report how many samples are still missing for this week.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Automated sampling is skipped without keys, and the auto-run mode carries ToS risks that the project documents in its own README.",
