What every FastBots chatbot does
How FastBots compares
Trained on your own content
FastBots reads your website, documents and FAQs once, then answers from that — not from generic AI guesses.
Answers around the clock
Most enquiries arrive outside office hours. The bot handles routine questions overnight, on weekends and during busy spells.
Live chat when it matters
On Business plan and above, a real team member can take over a conversation without the visitor starting again.
Lead capture inside the chat
Collect names, contact details and the reason for the enquiry, then email them to your team for follow-up.
Around 95 languages
The same trained content can answer in around 95 supported languages — no separate copy to maintain.
Live in minutes, not weeks
Most teams paste a single embed snippet into their site and have the chatbot in front of visitors within five minutes.
