Ensure you have access to `google-search-scraper` and `website-content-crawler` actors.\n4. **OpenAI**: Connect your OpenAI API key.\n5. **Notion**: Create a database with properties: `Company` (Text), `Website` (URL), `LinkedIn` (URL), `Email` (Email), `Score` (Number), `Draft Email` (Text), `NASA Tech` (Text).
