What is a bot?
The term originates from the earlier classification of intelligent
agents as "knowledge robots", which subsequently got shortened to just "knowbots"
or even "bots". In short, "bot" is just another term for intelligent
agent. Today most people use the terms intelligent agent or bot
interchangeably.

What is an Intelligent Agent?
An Intelligent Agent, or bot, is a piece of software that can
autonomously accomplish a task for a person or other entity. The software
has some sort of "trigger" built into it and, once executed, the agent can
carry out its function without further intervention. Some only count as
intelligent agents those software programs which meet very strict
criteria, but more and more people are accepting a more lenient definition
of intelligent agent. The key ingredient is that the software program
accomplishes some task autonomously once triggered.
