1. Start with the calls your team cannot answer
Bosseo describes AI Answering as a safety net rather than a replacement for the front desk. Calls ring your team first; the AI can answer when nobody picks up within 20 seconds. The public product description also identifies coverage for nights, weekends, holidays, and overflow. Use it only as geographic context when defining whom your service area includes.
Recommended approach
Review a representative period of your own phone records. Separate unanswered calls into after-hours, weekend, holiday, simultaneous-call, and ordinary-hours categories. Then decide which categories should trigger the AI and which should remain with a person or another escalation path.
