The ones we hear most before teams sign up. If yours isn’t here, our support team replies within hours during business days.
+
No. The chatbot handles the repetitive admin questions (opening hours, services, registration, what to bring) so your receptionist has more time for patients in person and on the phone. Anything that needs a human voice still goes to your team.
+
No, and you shouldn't let it. FastBots is an information and intake tool. You set custom instructions telling it never to diagnose, interpret symptoms or recommend medication, and to direct anything clinical or urgent to your phone line or emergency services.
+
Not natively. The chatbot captures the appointment request (name, contact, preferred time, reason) and emails it to your team, or sends it to a spreadsheet or CRM through a Zapier or Make workflow. Your booking team then confirms the slot.
+
Patients should never be asked to share clinical details or medical history through the chat: only admin information needed for follow-up. We're GDPR-compliant for data handling, but if your clinic operates under HIPAA or another specific regime, check with us before going live.
+
On Business plan ($89/month) and above, you can enable Live Chat. When a patient asks for a real person, or the bot can't answer, the conversation appears in your dashboard. A team member claims it and replies inside the same chat: the patient doesn't have to start over.
+
Yes. On Business plan and above, auto-retraining revisits selected pages daily, weekly or monthly. So when you update your fees, opening hours or services list on the website, the chatbot picks up the change without you doing it manually.
+
Yes, when you turn on file uploads. Patients can share supported file types like PDFs, Word documents and images: useful for referral letters or completed registration forms. It's not a replacement for a secure patient portal for sensitive medical records.
+
Around 95 languages. Patients can ask in the language they're most comfortable with, and the bot answers in that language: helpful for explaining registration steps or what to bring to an appointment.
+
Most clinics get a first version live in around 5 minutes. Point FastBots at your website, let it crawl your services and registration pages, add a paragraph of instructions about what it should and shouldn't answer, then paste the embed snippet onto your site.

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.
