More than a chatbot
Connect FastBots to your admissions tools, and a question on a course page becomes a tracked enquiry, a booked open evening place or a chat with an adviser.
Collects a name, email, course of interest and start year from applicants who aren't ready to apply yet.
Passes applicant enquiries to your admissions CRM or a spreadsheet through Zapier or Make, ready for follow-up.
Shows your open evening booking link as a button. With Zapier MCP connected, it can book the place during the chat.
When a question needs judgement, an admissions adviser 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.
Setup
Point it at your course pages, entry requirements, financial support and enrolment info. It can also learn from your prospectus PDF.
Choose the tone, decide what goes to an adviser, then ask it what school leavers and adult learners really ask.
Paste one line of code on your course and admissions pages, or share a direct chat link on your social channels.
Connect FastBots to the AI assistant you already use, then create, train and update your bot just by asking it.
You stay in control
Your bot only answers from content you approve. If it doesn't know, it says so and shows applicants who to contact.

FAQ
No. It explains entry requirements and how applying works, from your published pages. Offers, interviews and enrolment decisions stay with your admissions team, and you can tell the bot to say so plainly.
It can explain what your financial support pages say: who can apply, what a bursary covers and how to apply. Decisions about an individual student's eligibility go to your student services team.
It can share your published fees, English requirements and how to apply. Visa and immigration questions go to your international team or an official adviser, and you can set the bot to point people there.
Yes. With Live Chat on Business plan and above, an adviser can step into the same chat during the hours you set. The applicant fills in a short contact form first, and you can set a fallback message for when nobody is online.
Yes. As well as your website, you can connect the same bot to WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram or Slack, or share a direct chat link in your social posts and emails.
It can show your open evening booking page as a button on paid plans. With Zapier MCP connected to your booking tool, it can book a place during the chat. It can also collect an applicant's details and email them to admissions.
14 days with 1 chatbot and 200 message credits, with no credit card required. That's enough to train it on one department's course pages and test it with real applicant questions.
Update your course pages and retrain the bot when something changes. 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.
