Reviews
What churches and community organisations say
“We’ve been using FastBots for over a year - significantly reducing response times for our community members. Now, we’re exploring new use cases and excited to see what’s next!”

“Fastbots.ai has been a valuable asset to our organization since day one. We have utilized our mascot as the website and Messenger chatbot, which is always available to assist our community members with their inquiries 24/7.”
More than a chatbot
It doesn't just answer. It works as an AI agent for your church office.
Connect FastBots to the tools you already use, and a question on your website becomes a wedding enquiry, a hall booking request or a chat with your team.
- STEP 1
Captures the enquiry
Collects names, dates and contact details for weddings, baptisms, hall hire and newcomers, then emails them to the right person.
- STEP 2
Sends it to your tools
Passes enquiries to a shared spreadsheet, your email list or another tool through Zapier or Make.
- STEP 3
Books the next step
Shows your hall hire or wedding enquiry page as a button. With Zapier MCP connected, it can book a first meeting during the chat.
- STEP 4
Hands over with care
When someone needs a person, a staff member or trained volunteer can step into the same chat with Live Chat.
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 churches ask us
Will it try to give spiritual or pastoral advice?
No, as long as you set it up that way. Tell it to stick to practical questions like service times, groups and how life events work, and to pass anything pastoral, spiritual or personal to your minister or church office.
Can it arrange a wedding, baptism or funeral?
It explains how each one works at your church, then collects names, dates and contact details so the right person can follow up personally. The arrangements themselves stay with your team.
We're a small team of volunteers. Is it a lot to manage?
It's designed to take work off your plate. Point it at your website, check the answers and paste one line of code. Enquiries land in the inbox you choose, and you only update it when service times or groups change.
Can someone from the church take over a chat?
Yes. With Live Chat on Business plan and above, a staff member or trained volunteer can step into the same chat during the hours you set. Outside those hours, the bot collects the person's details so someone can get back to them.
Will it push people to donate?
Only if you want it to. You can tell it never to ask for donations. If someone asks how to give, it shares the giving page on your website and leaves it there.
Can it help visitors who speak other languages?
Yes. It works in around 95 languages, and with voice switched on people can talk to it in the website chat and hear the answers. Voice is included in the free trial and on Business plan and above.
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 church website and test it with the questions visitors really ask.
How do I keep the answers up to date?
Update your website and retrain when service times change, at Christmas or over the summer. 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.
