What it does for you

One assistant for every stage of a tenancy

Resident questions tend to land at three moments: moving in, day-to-day living, and when something needs your team. FastBots covers all three with your own guidance.

01 · Moving in

Help new residents settle in

Explains your move-in steps, rent payment options and how the tenant portal works, using your welcome guidance.

  • “How can I pay my rent?”
  • “How do I set up the tenant portal?”
  • “Who do I contact about my keys?”
02 · Day to day

Point residents to the right route

Covers repairs reporting, permissions, communal areas and complaints, with the correct form or contact each time.

  • “How do I report a repair?”
  • “Can I get a pet?”
  • “How do I make a complaint?”
03 · When it's urgent

Keep urgent and personal issues with staff

Gives the emergency repairs line first, and passes account, tenancy and sensitive issues to your housing team.

  • “Water is coming through my ceiling”
  • “I'm behind on my rent”
  • “Can I speak to my housing officer?”

Reviews

What community and service teams say

“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.”
Silvia BarahonaVirtual Assistant, ACLAMO · United States
“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
“Using Fastbots have enabled our clients to be able to offer a better service to their customers while reducing the amounts of queries they have to handle personally. It has been a great time saver for them.”
Carl SwartUnited Kingdom

More than a chatbot

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

Connect FastBots to the tools you already use, and a general enquiry becomes a callback request for the right team, a booked appointment or a live chat with staff.

  1. STEP 1

    Captures the enquiry

    Collects the resident's name, contact details and a short description for general callback requests.

  2. STEP 2

    Sends it to your tools

    Passes enquiries to the right team's inbox, a spreadsheet or your housing system through Zapier or Make.

  3. STEP 3

    Shares the right form

    Shows your repairs form or tenant portal as a button. With Zapier MCP connected, it can book an appointment during the chat.

  4. STEP 4

    Hands over to staff

    When a resident 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. Appointment and record actions during the chat use Zapier MCP and need a quick setup in your Zapier account.

Setup

Live on your resident pages in three steps

  1. fernleahousing.example

    /contact-us

    Add your resident guidance

    Point it at your repairs, rent, tenancy and complaints pages. Leave tenancy files and case notes out of its training.

  2. Only answer from my resident guidance
    Emergency repairs line comes first
    Never discuss an individual account
    Say so when it doesn't know

    Set the rules and test it

    Agree the emergency and sensitive-issue wording with your housing team, then ask it the questions residents really ask.

  • How to report a repair and what counts as an emergency
  • Rent payment options and where to get support
  • Permissions, communal areas and moving home
  • Your complaints process and stages
  • Capturing general callback requests

It hands to you

  • Emergency repairs, which go straight to your 24-hour line
  • Safeguarding, domestic abuse and crisis concerns
  • Individual rent balances, arrears and accounts

FAQ

Questions housing associations ask us

Can it see a resident's account or repair jobs?

No. It answers from the guidance you publish and points residents to your tenant portal or team for anything about their own account, rent balance or repair. Keep personal records out of its training content.

How does it handle emergencies and sensitive issues?

You set the wording. For urgent repairs it gives your emergency line first, and for safeguarding, domestic abuse or crisis concerns it shows the discreet contact routes you approve. It doesn't assess or handle these itself.

Can residents use it in other languages?

Yes. It can reply in around 95 languages, so residents can ask in the language they're most comfortable with. They can also talk to it with voice in the website chat, which is included in the free trial and on Business plan and above.

Can residents send a photo of a repair?

Yes, when you switch on file uploads. Residents can add photos or documents to the chat so your team can see the issue. The bot doesn't assess repairs from photos.

Where do callback requests go?

Each enquiry is emailed to the team you choose and saved in the built-in Contacts list. You can pass them on to your housing system with Zapier or Make, set up in your own account.

Can a member of staff take over?

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

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 repairs and rent guidance and test it with real questions.

How do I keep the answers up to date?

Update your website and retrain the bot when procedures, forms or contact details 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.
