This project is an AI-powered web scraper built with Crawl4AI. It automates lead generation by extracting local business (Dentists, restaurents,...) names, addresses, phone numbers, and more from YellowPages. With the help of LLMs like GPT-4o, Claude, and DeepSeek, it intelligently processes data and saves it in CSV files, making it ready for outreach or analysis!

3). Increase this value to scrape more data. - SCRAPER_INSTRUCTIONS: Custom LLM prompt defining what details to extract .
