Yeah, actually, a good bot would be really awesome -- I could ask for messages from a specific account, person, by un/read status, etc. or delete spam, get message history, and so on.
Hell, why not just make a "smart command line" bot-based web app? It's the goddamn twenty-first century, why do we still manually navigate when we can just concisely -ask- (in words, not "commands" or "actions") for portions of sites, definitions, files, apps, etc.? This was how it was -supposed- to be, but for some reason we're still just using glossed up versions of 1980s (or earlier) paradigms. Why hasn't the A.I. scene done anything practical? Or are those guys all just too enamored with the beauty of 1950s technology?
