Asking for advice. Thank you

Hi everyone,I’m running into a practical issue while trying to build AI voice agents for restaurants.

My current demo is an agent that checks availability and books tables, but I’m hitting a real-world problem: many restaurants already use online booking platforms, and the difficult part is not the voice flow itself — it’s integrating reliably with their reservation systems.

This is where I’m feeling a bit stuck. I understand the theory of AI agents much more now, but when I try to apply it in the real world, I see that integrations are often the real bottleneck. Without a proper integration, the solution feels less valuable and less professional.

So I’d like some honest advice from people who are already building in this space:

How do you handle this kind of problem in the early stage?
Do you still pursue the niche and work around the integration limitations?
Or is it smarter to pivot to a niche where the delivery is simpler, like lead generation, appointment qualification, inbound call handling, CRM updating, etc.?
In your experience, what type of AI agent is easiest to sell and implement in real businesses at the beginning?

I really believe AI agents are a huge opportunity, and I want to keep pushing through the walls I’m finding instead of wasting time building something that is hard to deploy in practice.

I’d appreciate practical advice from people who have already faced this.
