What this workflow does

• Trigger: Initiate the workflow by sending a POST request to an n8n webhook or by manual execution. Include character details such as name, age, archetype, world setting, and story role.
• Normalization and Validation: The workflow normalizes incoming fields and validates the character's archetype, using Python logic to derive genre tags from your world setting.
• AI Generation: This automation uses OpenAI to concurrently create a psychology profile, backstory, and emotional arc for the character based on enriched inputs.
• Synthesis: These AI-generated documents are compiled into a cohesive context and sent back to OpenAI to synthesize a singular, detailed Character Bible with structured sections.
• JSON Structuring: Parse the Character Bible into a structured JSON format, capturing identity snapshot, personality core, backstory highlights, emotional arc, and more, with added metadata like the request ID.
• Data Integration: Automatically receive the complete character profile as a JSON response and optionally log a summary in Google Sheets using the Google Sheets API.
