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 calls, not a replacement for your staff. Confirm the routing behavior for your phone setup during consultation.
Can it answer calls outside office hours?+
The published product page describes coverage for nights, weekends, holidays and overflow. Ask how your firm’s hours, routing rules and urgent-call instructions would be represented before deciding whether that coverage fits your practice.
What information does the firm receive?+
Bosseo says the firm receives a full transcript, case summary and caller information, delivered to an inbox or case-management system. The page also describes classification as Potential New Client, Current Client or Other. Confirm the exact fields and destination available to your firm.
Can it handle several calls at once?+
Bosseo publicly states a capacity of up to 20 simultaneous calls. That is a stated product capability, not a prediction of your Vashon call volume or a guarantee about your configuration. Compare it with your own call records and ask for configuration details.
Will the system decide whether a caller has a case?+
The published description says the system captures details, classifies calls and summarizes conversations. Your attorneys and staff remain responsible for applying firm policies, professional judgment, conflicts procedures and engagement decisions.
What should we prepare before a consultation?+
Bring your phone routing rules, practice areas, hours, consultation process, intake questions, current-client instructions, escalation ownership and any available call records. Also identify where your staff want transcripts and summaries delivered.
