BotFast is a WhatsApp AI assistant that links to your own number, replies to contacts and groups, and runs tasks across Gmail, Calendar, Sheets, and Drive.
About BotFast
What Is BotFast
BotFast adds an AI assistant to the WhatsApp account you already use. You scan a QR code, the way you would link WhatsApp Web, and from then on the assistant sits in a chat thread on your phone. It can answer messages on your behalf, look things up, and act on connected tools.
The appeal is the missing app. Most personal AI assistants ask you to install something, create an account, and remember to open it. This AI assistant for WhatsApp assumes the place you already check is the right place. Your clients, your team, and your family are in WhatsApp, so the assistant meets them there.
The limits are just as concrete. It lives inside WhatsApp, so there's no web chat widget for a website and no native Slack or Teams inbox. It's a WhatsApp chatbot first, and other channels are not on the menu. The deepest integrations are Google ones. Everything else runs through tool connections and webhooks, which usually means some setup on your side. And the paid plans are metered by message credits, so long back and forth chats cost more than short commands.
Getting Started
- Enter your phone number on the BotFast site and pick your country code.
- Scan the QR code from WhatsApp under Linked devices, the same flow as pairing a desktop.
- Open the self chat or the dashboard and teach it your rules: persona, saved skills, contacts, and the memories you want it to keep.
- Connect the tools you want it to reach, starting with Google Workspace if you use Gmail, Calendar, Sheets, Docs, or Drive.
- Send a test task in plain language, check the reply, then let it handle live threads.

Key features
Setup on Your Own Number
BotFast links to your existing WhatsApp account as a paired device, so messages arrive from your number rather than a separate bot line. Setup takes about half a minute: enter a phone number, scan the QR code, and the assistant introduces itself in a chat. There's nothing to install on the phone and no second account to manage.
Persona and Saved Skills
You can give the assistant a voice, then save skills that apply to particular contacts or groups. A client thread can get a formal tone and a refund policy, while a family group gets something looser. Replies pause per contact, and group behavior is a separate toggle, so the assistant doesn't answer everywhere at once.
Google Workspace Actions
The Google side is the most built out part. The assistant can draft and send mail in Gmail, create and move events in Calendar, append rows in Sheets, save drafts in Docs, and find files in Drive. You ask in plain English and it picks the tool, runs the step, and tells you what it did.
Tool Connections and Webhooks
Beyond Google, BotFast connects to more than 60 tools, including Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Linear, and Stripe. Teams that need something custom can wire their own systems through webhooks or the API. Webhook and API access is limited on the Pro plan and unlimited on Business, which is the main reason a developer heavy team would move up.
Voice, Image, and Document Handling
Send a voice note and it comes back as text, with the content understood rather than just transcribed. Photos work the same way, so a receipt or a whiteboard shot becomes readable data. PDFs and docs get summarized or mined for figures. The Business plan includes up to 4,000 minutes of voice transcription a month.
Reminders, Schedules, and Approvals
The assistant handles reminders, scheduled jobs, and recurring check-ins, including heartbeat style WhatsApp automation on Business. Risky steps need a one-tap confirmation before they run, covering things like sending external email, deleting records, or booking a meeting with someone new. If it gets something wrong, you can ask it to redo the step, undo it, or pass the thread to a person.
Pros and cons
Pros
- No new app and no second inbox. The assistant works inside a chat your contacts already use.
- Setup is genuinely quick, and pairing by QR code means no developer help on day one.
- Per contact personas and saved skills keep replies from sounding like a generic bot in every thread.
- Credit based pricing avoids per seat fees, so adding a teammate doesn't automatically raise the bill.
- Sensitive actions ask for confirmation, and logs are deleted after 30 days unless you choose longer retention.
Cons
- WhatsApp is the only front door. If your customers live in email, Slack, or a website widget, this isn't the tool for that queue.
- Credits map to messages, so chatty threads with screenshots and PDFs burn through a plan faster than short commands.
- Outside Google, integrations lean on webhooks and API access, which means setup work and a higher plan for heavy use.
- There's no free tier. You can connect a number without a card, but ongoing use starts at $9 a month.
Frequently asked questions
BotFast puts an AI assistant inside your own WhatsApp number. It replies to contacts and groups, drafts email, manages your calendar, updates spreadsheets, and answers customer questions. Think of it as a shared assistant thread rather than another dashboard.
