Face. Palm. That's not what a bot is, or does.


 * Bots are accounts with a bot flag.
 * They can only get the bot flag one wikis where its owner is an admin.
 * While there are bot scripts that could be explained as "automatically helps", for the most part, bots are reactive and follow fixed protocols. Text recognition is not one of them. Neither is AI. There is no script for friendly customer service.
 * Bots can be blocked. Local blocks can be undone, as the owner is an admin (and the bot usually is too).
 * Bots can not help in any wiki.
 * The most a bot can do to improve wikis is cleanup, maintenance and automating fixed edits. It cannot generate content.

This isn't a bot, this is a guy with silver face paint and a colander on his head, making beep bloop noises.
