Voice agents are great, and selling them as an agency is a smart play because you can serve multiple industries, but the part I’m loving right now is using voice agents inside an actual product. My latest application - creating a SaaS app for Independent takeaway shops. Most of these owners still run everything on paper. They take phone orders, write them down, cook the food, try to keep the line moving and hope the next call doesn’t go to voicemail. My early feedback from customer testing (actually talking to shop owners) - "We miss calls but we're doing fine" - "This looks great but we're already at capacity on how many orders we can fulfil" - "We don't really miss calls" Sharing here, because sometimes it's a great reminder you can spend months building something slick, but the market decides if it matters. The only way to know is to get outside, walk into shops - or speak to people in your niche and have the uncomfortable conversations. My next steps - speak to more owners find out if this is a "real" market trend or just the results of early feedback.

In this demo, an AI assistant, Lily, takes a reservation for a fictional restaurant. The agent: ✅ Answers questions from a dedicated Knowledge base ✅ Books a table for three at 8 p.m. ✅ Works within real system limits (maximum of two concurrent reservations) As Michelin arrives, it’s got me thinking where should AI fit in the future of hospitality?

Last time I shared a voice assistant that took Fish and Chips orders into a custom frontend using n8n, Lovable, and VAPI: Chippy’s demo 🍟🤖 This one’s a system that automatically captures appointments for companies where staff are tied up on the tools and can’t respond to “contact us” forms in time: Watch the demo 📅⚡ If this workflow sparks ideas, or you've got a project going where you need someone with experience in Lovable, n8n, Make, VAPI, or Supabase let's connect!

🍟 Check this out: I built a Voice Agent that takes fish & chip orders with a fully working frontend → Chippy's 🎤 Hi everyone! I run Optomic, an AI Automation Agency specialising in Voice Agents, Custom SaaS, and Process Automation → optomic.co I’ve also created Kaiako Assistant, a SaaS platform helping NZ teachers save time on lesson planning → kaiakoassistant.com I’ve built and tested these projects myself, and now I’m looking for real clients and collaborators. I’m happy to work on a couple of projects for free in exchange for proof of results and testimonials. 💡 If any of these ideas or skills could be useful for what you’re working on, let’s connect and see what we can do together!

$10K/month changes everything. freedom. options. confidence. But getting there? it's just math. → close 3 clients at $2K → add setup fees for upfront cash → boom—$10K revenue Here’s what actually gets you there: appointments. no meetings = no sales no sales = no agency you need 20 meetings to close 3 you need 100+ outreaches a day to book 2-3 and when you land them? keep them. bad retention kills momentum results = retention = referrals what works: → warm outreach to your network “know anyone who’d want help with [offer]?” → cold email + cold DMs + 100 calls/day volume > perfection I wasted months tweaking offers when I should’ve been booking calls book meetings. close clients. keep them. scale. 👇 how are you getting to $10K/month?
