Built For Photographers
Most enquiries you get are the same handful of questions — pricing, availability, travel, turnaround. FastBots learns your packages, FAQs and portfolio pages once, then answers those questions any time of day. When someone's ready for a real conversation, it captures their shoot details and passes them to you.
Providing AI Chatbots to Trusted Brands Around The World
Snelle antwoorden
A photography chatbot is a website assistant trained on your packages, pricing, FAQs and portfolio pages. It answers the questions couples and clients ask before they enquire — what's included, do you travel, how long until they get their photos — so you're not retyping the same replies every evening.
Yes, as long as your packages and starting rates live somewhere on your site or in a document you upload. The bot answers from your own content, so it won't undercut your real prices. For bespoke quotes — destination weddings, custom album orders — it captures the brief and hands it to you.
No. The chatbot doesn't have access to your calendar and we don't recommend pretending it does — dates need a human eye. What it does well is capture the date, shoot type, location and contact details, then send them to your inbox so you can confirm availability personally.
Most photographers have a working bot in around five minutes. Point it at your website, let it crawl your packages and FAQ pages, write a few lines about your style and tone, then paste the embed snippet onto your site. You can refine the answers as real enquiries come in.
Waarom FastBots?
Couples plan weddings late at night and parents book newborn shoots between feeds. The bot replies the moment they ask, not the next morning when they've already messaged three other photographers.
Share your starting rates the way you'd want to share them — no awkward dance. The bot quotes from your own package pages and never goes below your true starting figure.
"Do you shoot weddings in Italy?" gets a clear answer based on what you've written, not a guess. Travel fees, destination policies and minimum spends can all live in the bot's knowledge.
The lead form asks for the date, shoot type, location and contact details — not just a name. By the time you read the enquiry, you already know if it's a fit.
FastBots is a chatbot that can act as an AI agent: it gathers details across a conversation, validates what's missing and pushes the finished enquiry into your CRM through a Zapier or Make workflow once the chat ends.
On Business plan and above, you can jump into the chat yourself when a serious enquiry comes through. The bot handles the warm-up, you close the consultation.
Set the colours, avatar, welcome message and tone so the bot sounds like you — warm and personal for family work, calm and considered for weddings, sharper for commercial.
When you update your packages page, schedule the bot to auto-retrain daily, weekly or monthly on Business plan and above. No stale 2023 prices answering 2025 enquiries.
Praktijksituaties
Answer the predictable wedding questions — coverage hours, second shooter, engagement session, album options — and capture the date and venue when the couple is ready.
Explain session length, location options, what to wear and how many edited images are included. Collect preferred dates and rough ages of children.
Handle the timing questions ('how many days old should baby be?') and capture due dates so you can pencil in a window before the call.
Qualify business enquiries by asking about usage rights, deliverables and rough budget. Pass the brief to your inbox so you can quote properly.
"How long until I get my photos?" gets answered consistently every time, using whatever timeline you've actually committed to in your contract.
Confirm which regions you cover, what travel fees look like and whether you take overseas weddings — without you having to type the same reply on Instagram for the tenth time.
Explain digital file delivery, print options and album add-ons from your own pricing guide. Send custom album requests through as proper enquiries.
When other photographers ask if you're free to second-shoot, the bot collects the date, primary photographer and rate expectation so you can decide quickly.

FastBots crawls your packages page, FAQs, about page and any pricing guides. You decide which pages to include — leave out anything draft or outdated.
Huisstem
Warm, calm and personal — like a chat over coffee. Share starting prices and what's included, but never commit to a specific date. For bespoke quotes, custom albums or destination work, collect the brief and pass it to Sarah.
Tell the bot how to sound (warm, considered, no hard sell), what to share freely, and what to escalate to you. Add a fallback message for anything bespoke.
Copy the embed snippet into your Showit, Squarespace, WordPress or custom site. The chat widget appears in the corner and starts answering enquiries straight away.

Ik heb fastbots een maand fastbots getest tijdens de training voor mijn opleiding tot Certified Sustainability Specialist. Na een maand trainen ben ik tot de conclusie gekomen dat het systeem heel eenvoudig te implementeren en flexibel is. Daarom heb ik besloten een abonnement te nemen.

Dit zijn de vragen die we het vaakst krijgen voordat teams zich aanmelden. Als jouw vraag er niet bij staat, reageert ons ondersteuningsteam op werkdagen binnen enkele uren.
No, and it shouldn't. Couples booking a wedding photographer want to meet the person behind the camera. The bot handles the predictable questions that come before that conversation — pricing, availability windows, what's included — so you spend your time on real consultations, not repeating yourself in DMs.
Not directly. The chatbot doesn't connect to your calendar mid-conversation, and we'd argue you don't want it to — confirming dates needs a human check. What it does is capture the requested date, shoot type, location and contact details, then email them to you (or push them to your CRM through a Zapier or Make workflow).
We don't have native integrations with those tools, but you can connect them through Zapier or Make. When a lead form is submitted, the workflow can create a new enquiry or contact in your CRM with the shoot details already filled in. Setup takes about ten minutes once you've got a Zapier account.
You set the fallback. Most photographers tell the bot to say something like 'good question, let me get the answer from Sarah — could I grab your details?' which then triggers the lead form. On Business plan and above, the Knowledge Assistant shows you the unanswered questions so you can add them to the bot over time.
It only quotes from the content you give it. If your site shows 'weddings from $2,800', that's what it'll say. If you'd rather not share pricing publicly, train it on a softer version — 'most couples invest between $X and $Y' — and have it offer to send a full guide once it has the date and venue.
Yes, on Business plan ($89/month) and above. Live Chat lets you jump in when a hot enquiry comes through and reply in real time. The bot handles the warm-up — qualifying the shoot type, date and budget — and you close the consultation. You can also set availability hours so handover only happens when you're around.
The free plan covers one chatbot and 50 messages a month — enough to test it out properly. Paid plans start at $39/month for Essential, which adds workflows like Zapier and Make for pushing leads into your CRM. Live Chat handover is on Business at $89/month. No credit card needed to start.
Visitors can upload images and PDFs into the chat if you enable that feature. It's useful for mood boards, venue shots or reference styling. The bot won't analyse the artistic quality of a photo, but it can pick up details from a brief or contract a client wants to share.
Yes. You can set the colours, avatar, welcome message, suggested questions and the tone of every reply. Photographers who shoot fine-art weddings tend to write the bot to sound calm and considered; family photographers go warmer and more playful. It's your voice, not a generic chatbot one.
FastBots supports around 95 languages, so destination wedding enquiries from couples whose first language isn't English are handled naturally. You can also translate stored conversations on Business plan and above when you're reviewing them later.
Train it on your packages, FAQs and portfolio in about five minutes. Upgrade when you're ready for live handover and CRM workflows.
