What are the most useful bots you've seen online?

I've seen a few grammar, spelling, & expression bots pop up whenever a common term is misspelled or misused in a post on some sites. They're simple, nonjudgmental explainers, by and large.

But my favourites are the mental health bots, which pop up with useful links to resources when text suggesting suicidal ideation or depression is posted.

What other decent use cases have you seen for such bots, in our general landscape of digital mediocrity?

@MLClark There were a lot of bots on IRC back in the day. Jokes, random numbers, channel help, etc. My favorites were glossary bots on the queer channels.

OH THE GLOSSARY BOTS.

So good, and so necessary. :)
