In: 0
In the most basic way a bot is something that reacts to situation in an exactly defined way. It is more or less just another program.
Here on reddit you have lots of bots that recognize new comments and when they contain something which fulfills one of there situational reaction conditions they react in their predefined manner.
If you want to use bots yourself by just downloading them and use it, it is adviced to check if they are not doing something you really do not want besides what they claim to do. Just like with any other program you download and making sure that the source is one to be trusted.
