The bot user right simply means that edits made by that user account will (by default) not display on Special:RecentChanges and Special:WikiActivity.

If you're interested in learning how to setup and use a bot, I'd suggest starting with AutoWikiBrowser (AWB). See Help:Using AutoWikiBrowser to get started. Then see the Wikipedia page for more information.
