FastBots For WordPress
Your WordPress site already explains your services, prices and policies; visitors just don't always read it. FastBots reads it for them, then answers questions in the chat. Install it through the official FastBots plugin and it's live in a few minutes.
Providing AI Chatbots to Trusted Brands Around The World
Quick Answers
A WordPress chatbot is a chat widget that sits on your WordPress site and answers visitor questions automatically. With FastBots, the bot is trained on your own pages, blog posts and documents, so the answers reflect what your site actually says, not generic AI output.
Install the official FastBots plugin from the WordPress plugin directory, activate it, then paste in the Source URL and Embed ID from your FastBots dashboard. Save changes and the widget appears on your site. Most people are live in around five minutes.
Yes. The FastBots plugin loads the widget on the front end of your WordPress site, so it works alongside Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg, Beaver Builder and most themes. You don't need to edit any templates by hand.
Yes. Point FastBots at your domain or sitemap and it will crawl your posts, pages, services and policy pages. You can also add PDFs, Google Sheets, manual Q&A entries and YouTube videos for anything that isn't on the site yet.
Why FastBots
Search "Fastbots" inside Plugins → Add New, install, activate, paste two fields. No FTP, no theme edits, no developer needed.
FastBots crawls your site so the bot answers from your services, prices and FAQs: not from generic web knowledge that might be wrong about your business.
Change a price, add a new service, publish a new post: Auto Retrain (Business plan and above) revisits selected pages on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule.
Set the lead form to appear after a few messages or when someone types "quote", "pricing" or "book". Lead details land in your inbox while the visitor is still reading.
FastBots is an AI chatbot that can act as an AI agent: turning on live internet search, escalating to a real person, or pushing a captured lead into your CRM. With Zapier MCP connected, it can write the lead into your CRM right in the chat across the apps you link. If you prefer something simpler, a Zapier or Make workflow can still run after the chat instead.
Set the widget colour, avatar, welcome message, suggested questions and position so it sits naturally inside your existing site design.
On Business plan and above, Live Chat lets a team member claim a conversation and reply in real time when the visitor wants a human. The bot handles routine questions in between.
If your WordPress site attracts international readers, FastBots can answer in their language. Useful for WPML or Polylang multilingual sites.
Real Scenarios
Agencies, consultants and freelancers can let the bot answer pricing, timeline and process questions before a visitor fills out the contact form.
Readers can ask follow-up questions on a long post and get answers pulled from the rest of your archive instead of bouncing back to Google.
Answer opening hours, location, parking and "do you offer X?" questions outside working hours, then capture the enquiry for the morning.
Reduce pre-sale support by answering questions about modules, refund policy, login issues and what's included before someone emails support.
Train the bot on your docs and let users ask questions in plain English instead of guessing the right search term.
Pair FastBots with WPML or Polylang and let the bot answer in around 95 languages, so international visitors aren't stuck reading machine-translated pages.
Answer shipping, returns and product-policy questions from your trained store content. If you connect your store via Zapier MCP, the bot can also handle things like looking up an order's status in the chat, depending on what you link. Taking payments or refunding orders stays a human job.
Agencies on the Reseller plan can deploy and manage FastBots on multiple client WordPress sites under their own brand, with up to 5 brands and a custom domain.

Setup
Paste your domain or sitemap URL into FastBots. It crawls your pages and posts and pulls in the content the bot should learn from. Deselect anything you don't want included.
House voice
Friendly and helpful, like a knowledgeable team member. Answer only from the Northgate Studio website. Never quote prices for custom projects; always offer to capture details so the team can follow up.
In Tune AI, set the bot's tone, what it should never claim, and a fallback message for questions it can't answer. Turn on lead collection and choose when the form should appear.
From WordPress Plugins → Add New, search for Fastbots, install and activate. Open the plugin settings, paste your Source URL and Embed ID from the Deploy page, save. Done.

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.
The plugin itself is free to install from the WordPress directory. You need a FastBots account to connect it: the free FastBots plan includes 1 chatbot and 50 messages a month with no credit card required. Paid plans start at $39/month when you need more messages, more bots or features like Auto Retrain and Live Chat.
No. The plugin handles the install. You copy two values (Source URL and Embed ID) from your FastBots dashboard into the plugin settings and save. No theme files, no functions.php edits, no developer needed.
The widget loads asynchronously, so it doesn't block your page from rendering. If you're using a caching plugin like WP Rocket or LiteSpeed Cache, the widget still works alongside it; you don't need to exclude any scripts manually for a typical setup.
The crawler reads what a public visitor can see, so pages behind a login generally won't be included. If you need the bot to know that content, upload it as a PDF, DOCX or manual text source inside FastBots instead.
Yes for pre-sale questions: the bot can answer about products, shipping, returns and policies from your trained store content. If you connect your store via Zapier MCP, the bot can also do things like look up an order's status right in the chat, depending on which apps and actions you link. It still won't take payments, or modify or refund orders on its own. FastBots also has a separate native Shopify path for live store actions.
You set a fallback message in Tune AI: usually something like "I'm not sure, but I can pass this to the team if you leave your details." The unanswered question is also logged so you can review it and improve the bot's training. On Business plan and above, Knowledge Assistant surfaces these gaps for you.
Yes, on the Business plan ($89/month) and above. Live Chat lets you set availability hours and a threshold for when the bot offers human help. A team member can then claim the chat, see the full conversation history and reply in real time.
Yes. With Zapier MCP connected, the bot can write a new lead into your CRM right in the conversation, across the 8,000+ apps you link, so the contact is created or updated while the visitor is still chatting. The action set depends on which apps you connect. If you'd rather keep it simple, you can instead use a Zapier or Make workflow that fires after the lead is captured and pushes the details into your CRM, spreadsheet or email tool. FastBots doesn't have a fixed native CRM integration; both routes go through the apps you connect.
Yes. In the Appearance section you can set the widget colour, avatar, welcome message, position, placeholder text and suggested questions. On Premium and above (or with the Remove Branding add-on) you can also remove the "Powered by FastBots" label.
No, and it shouldn't be. FastBots handles the routine, repeatable questions your site already answers, and routes anything sensitive or complex to a human. Think of it as a first responder that frees your team up for the conversations that actually need them.
Build a chatbot trained on your own pages and posts, install the plugin, and see how it answers real visitor questions. Start on the free plan, no credit card required.
