Is AI Answering intended to replace our front desk?+
Bosseo’s public description says the team receives the first ring and the AI steps in when nobody answers within 20 seconds. It is presented as a backstop for unanswered calls, not a replacement for the front desk.
What information does the system capture?+
The public product description says it captures case details and contact information, and describes case type, timeline, and caller information. Your firm should decide which intake facts are appropriate for its practice areas.
What do we receive after a call?+
Bosseo says the firm receives a full transcript, a case summary, and caller information through an inbox or case-management system. Confirm the destination and handling details for your firm during consultation.
Can it distinguish new inquiries from existing-client calls?+
Bosseo says calls are classified as Potential New Client, Current Client, or Other. Your team should define how each classification is reviewed and what action follows.
How many calls can it handle at the same time?+
Bosseo’s public AI Answering page states that it can handle up to 20 simultaneous calls. Compare that stated capacity with your firm’s phone records and confirm the proposed routing arrangement.
What should a Skowhegan law firm prepare before a consultation?+
Bring your current phone numbers, answering hours, practice areas, escalation rules, intake questions, preferred information destination, and any records you use to review unanswered calls. The 2020–2024 ACS estimate of 8,653 residents for Skowhegan is geographic context, not a substitute for your firm’s own call data.
