Does AI Answering replace our front desk?+
Bosseo’s public description says the team gets the first ring and the AI steps in when nobody answers within 20 seconds. It is presented as a backstop for unanswered, after-hours, weekend, holiday and overflow calls, not as a replacement for your front desk.
What information does the system capture?+
Bosseo says the caller is guided through the situation and that the system captures case type, timeline and contact details. Your firm should review the exact questions, boundaries and escalation rules before relying on them for intake.
How many calls can it handle at once?+
Bosseo states that the system handles up to 20 simultaneous calls. That is a stated product capability, not a prediction of how many calls your Carmichael-serving firm will receive.
What do we receive after a call?+
Bosseo describes a full transcript, case summary and caller information delivered to your inbox or case-management system. It also describes classifications such as Potential New Client, Current Client or Other and case-type tagging.
Can our current number remain in use?+
Bosseo’s public page says existing numbers stay as they are and that the system sits behind them. Review the forwarding rule and phone-system setup for your specific firm before implementation.
How should we evaluate whether it is working?+
Set a baseline using your own call records. Review answer status, response timing, classification, captured information, callback completion and consultation outcomes. Do not treat Carmichael’s population estimate as a forecast of demand, leads or revenue.
