First Project Closed! · AI Automation Agency Hub

First Project Closed!

Just closed my first full AI voice agent project for a restaurant.

The client will pay €1,000 now and another €1,000 in 3 months, so €2,000 total for the setup.

The project was for Sushi Maison Boltiere, an Italian restaurant. I built an AI phone receptionist that can:

Answer incoming calls naturally
Check table availability
Book reservations
Modify or cancel existing bookings
Send WhatsApp confirmations automatically
Update a CRM with the reservation data and changes

The system is built mainly with Retell AI + n8n, connected to the restaurant's booking platform, with Telnyx handling the WhatsApp side.

The biggest part of the work wasn't just building the workflows — it was testing everything properly. I ran hundreds of test calls and worked through edge cases like changing dates/times, unclear customer requests, duplicate checks, cancellations, large groups, notes, and making sure the AI didn't repeat or ask for information it already had.

It took much longer than I originally expected, but the project is now finished and ready for the client.

Definitely learned a lot from actually building something that has to work with real customers, not just in a demo.

€2K project closed. Now onto the next one.
