The whole message
The caller’s name and callback number, why they are calling in their words, a good time to call back and their email. Read back, and emailed to you.
An AI, not a call center
AI receptionist for small business.
Intake Gateway answers your line when you can’t and takes a message from every caller: their name and number, why they are calling in their words, a good time to call back and their email, then emails you after every call except one we are confident is spam.
$149 a month, flat. First month free. Every answered call included. Cancel any time. About 8 hours of a receptionist’s pay (US median, BLS May 2025).
Call the number we give you from your own phone and hear the agent take an intake — up to 15 minutes of test calls, before you add a card. First month free: a 30-day free trial, every answered call included, one trial per firm. Card on file, nothing charged before day 31. No setup fee. Month to month. US businesses, calls in English.
Start with nights and weekends. Forward your line only after hours, only the calls you don’t answer, or every call — a choice you make with your phone carrier or phone system, not a setting here, and can change at any time.

A message, as the agent takes it
A message from every caller, and no promises made for you.
- Every call opens by telling the caller they are speaking with an AI assistant, that the call is recorded and transcribed so your team can follow up, and that by staying on the line they consent.
- It asks one question at a time: the caller’s full name, the best callback number, what they are calling about in their own words, a good time to call back and their email.
- It reads back the name, the callback number and, when given, the email before it closes.
- Every caller leaves a message: a customer, someone who wants to be one, a supplier, a sales call or anyone else.
- If anyone is hurt or in danger right now, the agent tells them to call 911, or 988 if it is about harming themselves.
- It never transfers a call.
- It never gives advice, quotes a price, books, confirms or cancels anything, or promises what your team will do or when. Your team goes through that when they call back.
- The line is English only: a caller who cannot continue in English is told so.
What it does
Take the message. Leave the answers to your team.
Every caller leaves a message
A customer, a supplier, a sales call or anyone else. If someone says it is urgent, the message is marked urgent. Anyone in danger gets the 911 line instead.
No promises made for you
No advice, no price, no booking and no word on what your team will do or when. Whatever needs your word is left for your team to go through when they call back.
Pricing
One plan. Every answered call included.
One plan, $149 a month, every answered call included. Fair use is a guide of up to 100 answered calls a month for one firm’s own line, not a cap: nothing meters your calls or cuts them off at that number. If you are consistently and substantially above it, we may get in touch to agree terms that fit that volume, and if we cannot agree any, the Terms of Service let either side end the plan.
