Bot :
(Based on "{robot") Any type
of autonomous software that operates as an agent for a
user or a program or simulates a human activity. On the
Internet, the most popular bots are programs (called
spiders or crawlers) used for searching. They access web
sites, retrieve documents and follow all the hyperlinks in
them; then they generate catalogs that are accessed by search
engines.
A chatbot converses with humans (or other bots). A
shopbot searches the Web to find the best price for a
product. Other bots (such as OpenSesame) observe a user's
patterns in navigating a web site and customises the site for
that user.
Knowbots collect specific information from web sites.

Bot : n [common on IRC, MUD and among gamers; from `robot'] 1. An IRC
or MUD user who is actually a program. On IRC, typically the robot
provides some useful service. Examples are NickServ, which tries to
prevent random users from adopting nicks already claimed by others,
and MsgServ, which allows one to send asynchronous messages to be
delivered when the recipient signs on. Also common are `annoybots', such
as KissServ, which perform no useful function except to send cute
messages to other people. Service bots are less common on MUDs; but some
others, such as the `Julia' bot active in 1990-91, have been remarkably
impressive Turing-test experiments, able to pass as human for as long as
ten or fifteen minutes of conversation. 2. An AI-controlled player in a
computer game (especially a first-person shooter such as Quake) which,
unlike ordinary monsters, operates like a human-controlled player, with
access to a player's weapons and abilities. An example can be found at
`http://www.telefragged.com/thefatal/'. 3. Term used, though less
commonly, for a web spider. The file for controlling spider behavior
on your site is officially the "Robots Exclusion File" and its URL is
"http:///robots.txt")
Note that bots in all senses were `robots' when the terms first
appeared in the early 1990s, but the shortened form is now habitual.
