Overview / Description
BotFast is an AI WhatsApp assistant that handles customer replies, schedules meetings, and manages Google Workspace integrations for solo founders, small teams, and support agencies — all from a single WhatsApp number. Setup takes under 30 seconds: enter a phone number, scan a QR code, and the assistant goes live inside WhatsApp with no app installation required for customers. BotFast connects to over 60 tools including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Sheets, Docs, Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Linear, and Stripe, letting users delegate tasks in plain English directly from a chat thread. It understands voice notes (transcribed in seconds), images, and PDFs, and can summarize documents or describe receipts without leaving WhatsApp. For customer-facing use cases, BotFast triages inbound messages — handling order status inquiries, refund requests, and plan questions — while keeping the business owner copied in. Scheduled automations, credit usage dashboards, and custom skill rules are available on higher-tier plans. BotFast is one of the best AI messaging tools for WhatsApp-first businesses that want automated client communication without building a separate chatbot platform. Pricing is credit-based with no per-seat charges: a Starter plan at $9/month covers 3,000 credits, the Pro plan at $30/month covers 12,000 credits plus full Google Workspace access, and a Business plan at $99/month scales to 50,000 credits with scheduled automations and a credit audit log.
