Second Life bots can perform the various operations (not available by LSL):

  • Send direct group invitations (including closed groups)
  • Automatically monitor the group chats, kick spammers, perform antispam checks
  • Send automatic group notices and IMs
  • Act as mannequin or model bot
  • Serve as a secretary or support robot by using autoresponder AI or remote chat assistant.
  • Be a non-personal character (NPC) in a roleplaying game.
