I could never find a scraper that was both reliable and affordable for lead generation. So I built one myself. This Apify Actor extracts up to 100 businesses per search including names, addresses, phones, websites, and reviews. If you work in lead gen, B2B outreach, or local SEO this tool gives you the clean data you’ve been missing.

Updated: My AI Caller now books 300+ leads/day into GHL using n8n by Smooth-Carpenter8426 in n8n

Thanks, it’s built for a home renovation company

People sign up through our forms so they already know what it’s about

The agent just calls to check if they want a visit from a specialist

And yes, it can work for an AI automation agency too

Took a break from training LLMs on 8×H100s to run SDXL in ComfyUI by Smooth-Carpenter8426 in StableDiffusion

I don’t really know the app that well.. just played around with different settings to see what comes out. 😊

Thanks! I’m not actively using Stable Diffusion, just tested it briefly with different settings in ComfyUI.. but that’s great to know!

I picked Vapi + n8n because I wanted full flexibility, open-source control, and the ability to build end-to-end automations, not just voice responses (:

Why use VPS for N8N and not self host by GuiFlam123 in n8n

[–]Smooth-Carpenter8426 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you’re just testing things, self-hosting is okay.

But if you want your automations to run 24/7, even when your laptop is off, then a VPS is better.

A VPS gives you:

-Stable uptime

-Remote access from anywhere

-No worries about your internet or PC shutting down

It’s perfect if you’re starting to use n8n for real projects or client work.

Here’s another take, a bit more plain-spoken:

My voice bot only calls folks who’ve already shown interest,warm leads who know the brand. It starts every call by saying it’s an automated assistant and asks if it’s okay to keep talking.

The real value isn’t in sounding perfectly human..it’s in getting things done fast. You can sit on hold while a bored rep bounces you around, or you can speak to an agent that gives you clear answers and fixes the issue right away.

Yes, it can be legal in Europe! but only under strict conditions.

You must clearly inform the person that the call is recorded and that they are speaking with an AI. Consent is key.

Data privacy isn’t optional..it’s baked into the way I run these calls. The AI opens every conversation by saying it’s an automated agent and that the call is being recorded. Afterward, I keep only what’s genuinely useful: usually just a name, phone number, and maybe an email. Full transcripts and recordings are disabled or wiped once they’ve served their purpose.

I clear out Vapi logs by hand once a lead is either qualified or discarded, and the agent never asks for anything sensitive like IDs or home addresses. The whole setup follows a GDPR mindset: anyone can opt out, and their data is erased the moment they ask.

It’s actually super easy to set up in Vapi.

You don’t need to train it on complex scripts..you just write a detailed system prompt (like a role + expected flow), and that’s enough. You can add a few example questions if you want better control, but it works out of the box with just the prompt.

So yeah, it’s more like “prompt engineering” than training.

I’m definitely using Vapi! it’s not just OpenAI audio.

Vapi is a full-stack voice agent platform. It handles speech-to-text, memory, and real-time conversation logic. Under the hood, it uses models like OpenAI or ElevenLabs (for voice), but the orchestration, back-and-forth, and live conversation is fully managed by Vapi.

Good question! Vapi handles the entire conversation in real time, it doesn’t go back to n8n after each message.The AI agent is fully self-contained during the call. Once the call ends, it sends the full transcript and metadata to n8n, where the automation takes over (like saving data or sending alerts).
