Start with the calls your team cannot answer
Bosseo’s public AI Answering page describes a team-first arrangement: calls go to your people first, and the AI steps in when nobody answers within 20 seconds. It also describes coverage for nights, weekends, holidays, lunch periods, and overflow. That distinction matters for a McMinnville firm because the city is recorded within Warren County, while your callers may identify themselves by a nearby community, a county matter, or a specific legal problem rather than by city limits. The population estimate for McMinnville cannot tell you how many calls you receive or when they arrive. Your decision should begin with your phone records, not a population-based forecast.
Recommended approach
Review a representative period of call records and separate unanswered calls by time, duration, caller status, and disposition. Decide whether the AI should serve as an after-hours safety net, an overflow path, or both. Ask Bosseo to show how the 20-second handoff would interact with your existing front-desk coverage.
