For UK charities and their supporters

AI Chatbot for Charities

People needing help, volunteers and supporters all have questions, and a small team can't answer them all quickly. Your bot answers from your published pages and keeps personal matters with your team.

  • Signposts services, referrals and opening times
  • Explains volunteering, fundraising and Gift Aid
  • Keeps safeguarding and casework with your team

  • “Do I need a referral?”
  • “What happens at the first session?”
02 · Wanting to help

Give supporters a clear next step

Answers questions about volunteering, fundraising events, Gift Aid and leaving a gift in a will.

  • “How do I become a volunteer?”
  • “Can you claim Gift Aid on my gift?”
  • “Can I get a fundraising pack?”
03 · Needing a person

Keep personal matters with people

Reviews

What charities and volunteer-led groups say

“The issue we had was too many trivial phone calls to our emergency phone, asking for info that was available on the website. Our chatbot has made a big difference, helping people while ensuring our 24/7 number is clear for true emergencies.”
Marlene MantoSecretary, Volunteer Marine Rescue Whitsunday · Australia
“The more I use FastBots.ai the more I LOVE it! The bot always represents our brand, in the voice I wish I could use all the time. Even though I get catty when asked to answer the same questions, over and over, the bot is always happy to.”
Carole BaskinBig Cat Rescue
“The Chat Bot has been set up extremely well and interacts perfectly with our website. The standard of answers to questions that it puts together has really surprised us. First class company support as well.”
Dave WhettonBusiness Support, D P Seals Ltd · United Kingdom

More than a chatbot

It doesn't just answer. It works as an AI agent for your charity.

Connect FastBots to the tools your team already uses, and a question on your website becomes a volunteer enquiry, a callback request or a live chat with a colleague.

  1. STEP 1

    Captures the enquiry

    Collects a name, contact details and what someone needs, then emails it to the right team, without asking for case details.

  2. STEP 2

    Sends it to your tools

    Passes volunteer and supporter enquiries to your CRM or a shared spreadsheet through Zapier or Make.

  3. STEP 3

    Books the next step

    Shows your volunteer induction or drop-in booking page as a button. With Zapier MCP connected, it can book the slot during the chat.

  4. STEP 4

    Hands over to a colleague

    When someone needs a person, a staff member can step into the same chat with Live Chat during staffed hours.

Live Chat is on Business plan and above, and buttons are on paid plans. Booking and CRM actions during the chat use Zapier MCP and need a quick setup in your Zapier account.

FAQ

Questions charities ask us

Can it decide whether someone qualifies for our services?

No. It explains your published criteria and referral routes, and shows people how to reach your team. Decisions about an individual's situation stay with your staff.

How should it handle safeguarding or urgent concerns?

Give it the wording and contacts your safeguarding lead approves. It points people to those routes and to emergency services, rather than asking for details in the chat. Test those answers with your team before you go live.

Should we upload case notes or personal information?

We'd start with public information: services, opening times, volunteering and fundraising. Keep case records in your own systems, and check any sensitive material with whoever looks after data protection before adding it.

Can staff take over a conversation?

Yes. With Live Chat on Business plan and above, a colleague can step into the same chat during the hours you set. The visitor fills in a short contact form first, and you can set a fallback message with your usual contact details for when nobody is online.

Can supporters donate through the chat?

It explains your ways to give and Gift Aid from your own pages, and on paid plans it can show your donation page as a button. The donation itself happens on the platform you already use.

Can people ask in other languages, or by voice?

Yes. It works in around 95 languages, and with voice switched on people can talk to the bot in the website chat and hear its answers. Voice is included in the free trial and on Business plan and above, and uses message credits.

What do I get in the free trial?

14 days with 1 chatbot and 200 message credits, with no credit card required. That's enough to train it on your service and volunteering pages and test it with your team.

How do I keep the answers up to date?

Update your pages and retrain when service times, appeals or volunteer roles change. On Business plan and above, auto retrain can refresh your website content daily, weekly or monthly, and you can see which questions it couldn't answer.

Still have a question?

Ask the FastBots chatbot in the corner, or just try it yourself.
