1. Start with the calls your team cannot answer
Bosseo describes AI Answering as a team-first system. Calls ring your people first; the AI steps in when nobody answers within 20 seconds. It is presented for nights, weekends, holidays and overflow, rather than as a replacement for your front desk. For a Fort Washington firm, the useful local question is operational: does your service area include Fort Washington in Montgomery County, and when are calls from that area likely to arrive outside the response pattern your firm wants to maintain? Population alone cannot answer that. Review your phone records and office schedule instead.
Recommended approach
Map your current answer path by time of day and call status. Decide which unanswered calls should trigger the AI, which should remain with staff, and which require a human callback or another escalation. Ask Bosseo to demonstrate the handoff using your firm’s actual practice areas and service-area wording.
