Built For Manufacturers
Most prospect questions are the same handful: materials, MOQs, lead times, certifications. FastBots learns your capabilities once, answers those questions whenever an engineer hits your site, and captures real RFQ details before passing serious enquiries to your sales team.
Providing AI Chatbots to Trusted Brands Around The World
Quick Answers
It's an AI assistant on your website that answers the questions prospects ask before they ever reach a sales engineer: what materials you work with, your MOQs, lead times, certifications and industries served. With FastBots, the chatbot is trained on your own capabilities pages, datasheets and case studies, so it answers from your actual shop floor, not generic AI knowledge.
Yes. The chatbot can walk a prospect through the basics: part, material, volume, target delivery date, and collect their contact details and a CAD file when file uploads are enabled. The completed enquiry lands in your inbox, and from there your sales engineers pick up qualified leads instead of fielding cold-call basics.
No, and it shouldn't. Quoting a custom part is judgement work: material selection, tolerances, tooling, capacity. The chatbot handles the repetitive front-end questions and qualifies the enquiry so your engineers spend their time on serious work, not 'do you do aluminium?' emails.
That's where it earns its keep. Buyers in Asia, North America and Europe land on your site at all hours. The chatbot answers in around 95 languages, captures the RFQ overnight, and your team has a qualified enquiry waiting when they're back at their desks.
Why FastBots
Buyers in different time zones don't wait. The chatbot answers capability, material and certification questions whenever they're asked: including at 3am from a procurement team in Singapore.
Configure the lead form to ask for part description, material, target volume and delivery date: not just name and email. Your sales engineers open the enquiry already knowing what they're quoting.
Turn on file uploads and prospects can attach PDFs, drawings or images directly inside the chat, so the enquiry arrives with the spec instead of a 'we'll send it over' promise.
FastBots is an AI chatbot that can act as an agentic assistant: gathering RFQ details across the conversation and deciding when to hand off. Connect your CRM via Zapier MCP and the bot can write the qualified lead in mid-conversation, or keep it simpler and push the lead through a Zapier or Make workflow once the chat ends.
The bot answers from your own capabilities pages and documents, so it won't promise materials you don't run or certifications you don't hold. You set the guardrails in plain English.
On the Business plan ($89/month) and above, a sales engineer can take over the conversation when an enquiry looks worth their time: without forcing the prospect to start again on a new form.
Send captured RFQs into Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive or Microsoft Dynamics. Connect your CRM via Zapier MCP and the bot can create the lead right in the conversation, or run a Zapier or Make workflow once the chat ends if you prefer something simpler. Either way no lead sits in an inbox waiting to be re-keyed.
Export customers and global procurement teams ask in their own language. The chatbot picks it up and responds in kind, and conversation translation in your history makes review straightforward.
Real Scenarios
Answers the constant 'do you machine [material]?' and 'do you do [process]?' questions from your capabilities pages, so engineers aren't replying to one-line emails all day.
Gives realistic ranges based on what you've trained it on, while making clear that firm numbers depend on materials, volume and current capacity. No false promises.
Confirms which certifications you hold (ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF 16949, ITAR registration) so prospects can pre-qualify you before they even submit an enquiry.
Identifies whether an enquiry is a one-off prototype, a pilot run or production volume, and routes the conversation accordingly, including out to a sales engineer when it warrants it.
Captures part details, volumes, target dates and CAD files from international prospects while your shop is closed, so your team starts the day with qualified work in the queue.
Answers 'do you serve aerospace / medical / defence / automotive?' from your case studies and helps prospects self-qualify before they fill out a longer enquiry form.
Trained on your product datasheets and tolerance guides, so prospects can pull a quick spec answer without emailing engineering for the PDF.
When a conversation moves toward controlled technical data, the bot can stop and route the prospect to a sales engineer instead of discussing specifics in chat. You decide the boundary in the instructions.

Sound Like It Would Cut The Cold-Call Volume?
1 chatbot and 200 message credits. No credit card required.
Setup
Drop in your website URL and FastBots crawls your capabilities, materials, certifications, industries and case studies. It can also ingest PDF datasheets, spec sheets and quality manuals.
House voice
Technical, plain and confident: like a knowledgeable inside sales engineer. Never quote firm prices or lead times. Don't discuss ITAR-controlled technical detail in chat. Capture part, material, volume and target date, then route to a sales engineer.
In Tune AI, tell the bot what it can and can't commit to: no firm prices, no firm lead times, no discussion of ITAR-controlled technical specifics. Route qualified RFQs to the sales team instead.
Add the embed snippet to your website (WordPress, Webflow, HubSpot CMS, custom HTML or anything else) and the chatbot is live on every page. Most manufacturers are up in under 30 minutes.
Honest Comparison
Most manufacturers choose between a static contact form, an outsourced answering service that doesn't understand your shop, or just letting overnight enquiries sit until morning. Here's how FastBots stacks up against those.

Got Questions?
The ones we hear most before teams sign up. If yours isn’t here, our support team replies within hours during business days.
No, and it shouldn't try. Quoting depends on material grade, tolerances, finishing, volume, tooling and current capacity. The chatbot's job is to confirm whether the work is in your wheelhouse and capture the detail your sales engineer needs to put together a real quote.
In the Tune AI section you write plain-English instructions like 'never commit to a specific lead time' or 'always route requests over 10,000 units to a sales engineer'. The bot follows those rules. You can also set a fallback message for anything outside its boundaries.
Don't handle controlled technical data in chat. The right pattern is to instruct the bot that when a conversation touches controlled specifics: drawings, dimensions, regulated materials, it stops and routes the prospect to a sales engineer through the lead form. The chat itself stays at the 'are you ITAR registered, can you discuss this, who do I speak to' level.
Yes, when file uploads are enabled. Supported types include PDFs, Word documents, CSVs and common image formats including JPEG, PNG, WebP and HEIC. Native CAD formats like STEP or IGES aren't supported: most buyers will send a PDF drawing or a screenshot at this stage, then exchange native files with your engineer over email.
Yes. Connect your CRM via Zapier MCP and the bot can create the lead or contact right in the conversation, across whatever you run: Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Microsoft Dynamics. The action set depends on which apps you connect. If you'd rather keep it simple, a Zapier or Make workflow can fire once the conversation ends and create the record then instead.
Yes, on the Business plan ($89/month) and above. Live Chat lets a team member claim an active conversation, see the history and reply in real time. You set the availability hours and the bot only offers handover during those hours: so a 2am enquiry still gets captured, but doesn't sit waiting for a human who isn't there.
Around 95 languages. Export prospects often start a conversation in their own language, and the bot responds in kind. You can also translate conversation history into your preferred language inside FastBots on eligible plans, so reviewing overnight enquiries is straightforward.
Most manufacturers can build a first working version in under an hour: crawl the website, review what was pulled in, write a short set of house rules in Tune AI and paste the embed snippet onto the site. New accounts can do this during the 14-day free trial, which includes 1 chatbot and 200 message credits with no card required. Adding datasheets, spec sheets and a tuned lead form takes longer, but you can launch with the basics and add depth as you go.
New FastBots accounts start with a 14-day free trial, not the legacy Free plan. It includes 1 chatbot and a one-time allowance of 200 message credits, with no credit card required; different AI models use credits at different rates. You can try the main chatbot features and integrations, except Reseller white-labelling and scheduled automation. When the trial ends, the chatbot goes offline and no test credits remain until you upgrade, while your dashboard, settings, previous chats and Contacts stay accessible. Paid plans start at $39/month. Existing users who were already on the legacy Free plan return to it after their trial.
No. It replaces the repetitive front-end work: 'do you do aluminium', 'what's your MOQ', 'are you ISO 9001'. Real quoting, technical discussion and customer relationships still belong with your engineers. Think of the chatbot as a tireless first-line filter that hands warm, qualified RFQs to the people who can actually win them.
Point it at your capabilities pages, set the guardrails, and see how it handles real RFQ questions. Upgrade only when you're ready for live handover or higher volume.
