An AI, not a call center or a live receptionist

Car accident intake that answers your firm’s phone.

Intake Gateway answers your firm’s line when you can’t and takes a car crash: the other driver for your conflict check, the insurance company’s calls so far, and a live transfer offered when an adjuster is pushing for a quick settlement.

$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).

Caller

Yeah — hi. I got hit on the way home from work on Tuesday, and my neck has been really bad since.

Agent

I'm sorry that happened. Take me through it — what happened on Tuesday?

Hear our agent take an intake on the demo line, 75 seconds

Recorded on our demo line: our AI agent answering an automated test caller who plays an invented person. It starts after the opening disclosure every call begins with.

From the recording:

Caller (invented)

I was rear-ended Tuesday while stopped at a red light on Park Street in Madison. The insurance adjuster called this morning asking for a recorded statement and quick settlement, and that worries me.

Agent

That would worry anyone. Were you hurt in the crash?

Caller (invented)

Yes. I went to the ER that night; they said it was soft tissue, but my neck still hurts and I can’t turn my head properly.

Caller (invented): I was rear-ended Tuesday while stopped at a red light on Park Street in Madison. The insurance adjuster called this morning asking for a recorded statement and quick settlement, and that worries me.

Agent: That would worry anyone. Were you hurt in the crash?

Caller (invented): Yes. I went to the ER that night; they said it was soft tissue, but my neck still hurts and I can’t turn my head properly.

Agent: And are you working with another attorney on this already?

Caller (invented): No, I haven’t talked to any lawyer yet.

Agent: Thank you for telling me that -- I'm going to take this down for the office. Before we get into the details, I need to take a couple of names for our records. Can I start with your full name?

Caller (invented): Dana Whitfield.

Agent: Dana Whitefield. And do you know the name of the other driver?

Caller (invented): It’s Dana Whitfield—W-h-i-t-f-i-e-l-d. The other driver was Ray Kessler.

Agent: Dana Whitfield, W-H-I-T-F-I-E-L-D, and the other driver, Ray Kessler. Is that right?

Caller (invented): Almost—Ray Kessler, K-e-s-s-l-e-r.

Agent: Dana Whitfield, and Ray Kessler, K-E-S-S-L-E-R. Is that right?

Caller (invented): Yes, that’s right.

Agent: And what's the best number to reach you on?

A car crash, as the agent takes it

The other driver for your conflict check, and the adjuster who won’t wait.

It lets the caller tell what happened in their own words before anything structured, and when they say only “an accident” it asks what kind, never assuming a car.
It asks whether they are already working with another attorney on it. A caller who already has a lawyer on that matter is ended politely, with no conflict check and no more questions.
For your conflict check it asks the other driver’s name and, if the caller doesn’t know it, the business the vehicle belonged to, such as a delivery service or a rideshare.
For a crash it asks who was driving what, whether the police came, whether a report was filed, whether anyone was cited and who, and the other side’s insurance.
For a hurt adult it asks, one question at a time, whether they have seen a doctor, whether they are still being treated, any hospital stay, surgery, missing work and ongoing pain.
It asks whether an insurance company has contacted them, whether they gave a recorded statement and whether they were offered money.
An insurance adjuster already pushing for a quick settlement or a recorded statement is a reason to offer to put the caller through to you live, in the hours you allow transfers, instead of booking a consultation.
A car about to be scrapped or released from impound is evidence about to disappear, a reason for the same offer.
A city bus, a police vehicle or a road defect means a government body is involved, a reason for the same live transfer; the agent never books a consultation on that call and never tells the caller why it matters.
A death from the crash, or a life-threatening injury that has already happened, earns the same offer; an emergency still going on is sent to 911, never put through to your firm.
Being rear-ended, or the other driver being cited, running a light or a stop sign, or drinking, goes in the summary as responsibility clearly with someone else; on its own it never earns a transfer.
It never says whether your office takes the case, whether it sounds strong or what it is worth: that is for your attorney, from the email.

Every question the intake asks

Not a message-taker

A generic AI receptionist takes a message. This one runs your intake.

Real personal injury qualification

Any kind of injury, not just crashes: what happened and when, injuries and treatment, who is responsible, whether an adjuster has already called. Then the questions that only matter for what actually happened — a police report for a crash, how long the hazard had been there for a fall, who owns the dog, whether they still have the product. Asked as a conversation, not read as a form.

Urgent cases offered a live transfer

A fatality, anything involving a city or a public body, an adjuster pushing for a recorded statement, evidence about to disappear: the agent recognizes the signs and offers to put the caller through to you live, in the hours you allow transfers. When it is unsure, it offers the transfer.

A callback promised, or a consultation booked or requested

Every routine caller is told the office will call them back, and gives the time that suits them. Connect a calendar and the agent books an ordinary case's consultation instead, from your real availability, while the caller is still on the phone, or requests one where your calendar asks you to confirm.

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.
