Abstract We prove that any q-automatic completely multiplicative function f : N → C essentially coincides with a Dirichlet character. This answers a question of J.-P. Allouche and L. Goldmakher and confirms a conjecture of J. Bell, N. Bruin and M. Coons for completely multiplicative functions. Further, assuming GRH, the methods allow us to replace completely multiplicative functions with multiplicative functions.
