This is an actual recording from our own phone line — Mae answers for Mako Logics, the company behind MakoAnswer. The caller is a scripted demo customer; everything Mae says is live and unscripted.

Read the transcript

Mae: Thanks for calling Mako Logics, your managed IT partner! How can I help you today?

Caller: Hi. This is Dana calling from Riverbend Dental. I have a quick question about an invoice we received this month. Could someone from your accounting team give me a callback when they have a minute?

Mae: Thank you, Dana. I'll make sure our accounting team gets your message. Could you please provide the best phone number for a callback? And is there anything specific about the invoice you'd like them to know before they reach out?

Caller: Sure. The best number is eight three two, five five five, zero one nine eight.

Mae: Thank you, Dana. I have your number as eight three two, five five five, zero one nine eight. Is there anything specific about the invoice you'd like the accounting team to know before they call you back, or should they just give you a call to discuss?

Caller: Just that we'd like to double-check one of the charges before we pay it. Nothing urgent.

Mae: Thank you, Dana. I've noted that you'd like to double-check a charge on your invoice, and our accounting team will give you a call back at eight three two, five five five, zero one nine eight. If you need anything else, just let us know. Have a great evening!

Or let Mae tell you herself — the whole story in sixty seconds.

Read the video transcript

Every day, small businesses miss calls they never hear about. The plumber’s under a sink. The job goes elsewhere.

Meet Mae, the AI receptionist from MakoAnswer. She answers every call on the first ring. Day, night, weekends, and holidays.

Callers simply talk to her. Mae knows your services, answers their questions, and takes down exactly what they need.

Seconds later, the whole conversation lands in your inbox. A transcript, a summary, and a lead that’s ready to call back.

Spam and cold callers never get through. And setup is simple. Keep your number, forward your calls, and you’re up and running in a day.

From plumbers to law firms, Mae picks up for businesses like yours. Starting at $24.95/mo.

  1. Pick a number or connect yours

    Forward your existing line to MakoAnswer — all calls, or just after-hours and overflow — or we provision a fresh local number. Nothing to install.

  2. We customize Mae for your business

    We load your hours, services, FAQs, greeting, and call-handling rules. She sounds like your business, not a robot reading a script.

  3. Go live and stop missing calls

    Mae answers, books, and qualifies. You get the transcript, summary, and lead the moment each call ends.

We’re Mako Logics. We kept watching great companies lose real jobs to missed calls — or pay hundreds a month for a stranger with a script. AI finally made it possible to answer every call, well, at a price that makes sense for a small business.
