Example Prompt
Try this with OpenClaw using the People Search tool
Use people-search with deep_search to research these speakers for our AI conference: [Name 1 — AI safety], [Name 2 — robotics], [Name 3 — ML infrastructure]. Return stable JSON with expertise_areas, publications, media_mentions, and credibility_flags for each.
Tips
- Include the claimed topic area for each speaker so searches are focused on subject-matter evidence
- Lock the output schema before your first batch run for consistent comparison
- Flag speakers with no independent third-party citations as requiring manual credentialing before booking
