Ehsan's Recommendation
The counterintuitive insight: the value is not in either tool alone, but in the data loop between ai chat and automation tools. With Character.AI feeding into n8n, you remove the biggest friction point in most lead generation workflows. The biggest wins come from the second workflow you build, not the first. Plan for iteration.
