Reviews
“I have been using Fastbots to develop learning coaches for post-secondary students as part of my PhD research. I have found this tool to be easy to work with and very useful. I have already recommended it to others.”
“Loved building our non-profit educational bot for maker teachers here! Helps plan lessons, materials & assessment. This platform is great for creating valuable resources that enrich teaching!”
“The Chat Bot has been set up extremely well and interacts perfectly with our website. The standard of answers to questions that it puts together has really surprised us. First class company support as well.”
More than a chatbot
Connect FastBots to the tools your office already uses, and a question on your admissions page becomes a logged enquiry, a booked visit or a conversation with your team.
Collects a parent's name, email and the year group they're interested in, ready for your admissions team.
Passes enquiries to a spreadsheet, CRM or shared inbox through Zapier or Make, so nothing sits forgotten in a chat log.
Shows your open day or tour booking link as a button. With Zapier MCP connected, it can book the visit during the chat.
When a parent needs a person, your office team 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 admissions, term dates, uniform and policy pages. It can also learn from your prospectus PDF and newsletters.

Paste one line of code on your admissions and parent pages, or share a direct chat link in your newsletter.
Connect FastBots to the AI assistant you already use, then create, train and update your bot just by asking it.

FAQ
No, and that's deliberate. The bot answers from your published school information. Questions about a particular pupil, their progress, attendance or wellbeing go to your staff, and you can tell it never to ask for personal details about children.
It can explain what your published SEND and safeguarding policies say and who to contact. It doesn't discuss individual concerns. Set it to point parents to your SENCo or designated safeguarding lead, and to tell anyone worried about a child's immediate safety to contact the emergency services.
Yes. With Live Chat on Business plan and above, someone in the office can step into the same chat during the hours you set. The parent fills in a short contact form first, and you can set a fallback message for when nobody is available.
Yes. It can reply in around 95 languages, so parents can ask about admissions, uniform or term dates in the language they're most comfortable with. Check key details like dates and deadlines in the languages your families use most.
No. It doesn't read or write pupil records in your MIS. It answers from your website and documents, and you can send enquiries to other tools through Zapier or Make.
It can show your open day 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 a parent's details and email them to your admissions team.
14 days with 1 chatbot and 200 message credits, with no credit card required. That's enough to train it on your admissions and term-time pages and test it with the questions parents really ask.
Update your website 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.
