A GPT-4o receptionist built with n8n and Supabase removes upfront lead forms

- A builder shared an AI receptionist for coaches and consultants built with n8n, GPT-4o, and Supabase.
- The system replaces the usual “fill out this form before we talk” flow with a chat-first lead capture experience.
- Key design choices:
- use session IDs instead of email as the primary identifier;
- store conversation history in PostgreSQL/Supabase;
- extract names and email addresses from natural conversation later;
- update existing records instead of creating duplicates;
- keep context across messages with GPT-4o mini.
- The main lesson is that reducing upfront friction can improve conversion for high-touch service businesses.
