Ehsan's Recommendation
The counterintuitive insight: the value is not in either tool alone, but in the data loop between ai chat and ai video tools. With Character.AI feeding into Runway, you remove the biggest friction point in most lead generation workflows. Test with your most skeptical team member. If they convert, you have a winner.
