List all actors in my Apify account.

I've retrieved your actors. You have 3 active scrapers including 'Instagram Scraper', 'Google Maps Reviewer', and 'Custom CRM Sync'. Which one would you like to run or check datasets for?

Run the 'Instagram Scraper' with input { "hashtags": ["#AI"] }.

Actor run triggered! I've started the 'Instagram Scraper' (ID: act_10293) with your custom input. The execution ID is run_88231. I'll monitor it and let you know when the dataset is ready.

Show me the results from dataset 'ds_10293'.

I've fetched the dataset items. There are 25 records including profile URLs, post captions, and engagement counts. Would you like me to summarize the top performing posts?

Yes! Use the `run_actor` tool and provide the optional `input` JSON object to configure specific scraper settings for that run.
