AI & agents / THE PRACTICAL CHECKLIST
Bot reviews
Review a bot as a piece of software with inputs, outputs, permissions, and a defined task—not as a marketing label.
What to look for
Identify whether the bot follows fixed rules, uses a model, or combines the two. Then describe the actual work it performs. A label such as smart automation does not explain the information it can access or the actions it can take.
Make the review useful
Test the smallest useful workflow with authorized data. Include a missing value and an interrupted dependency. Check whether the tool explains its status and whether a person can correct or reverse a mistaken action where appropriate.
Keep the limits in view
Distinguish reviews of bots from bots that fabricate reviews. The former is software evaluation; the latter misrepresents customer experience. A tool’s convincing language does not settle which category its workflow belongs to.
Are all bots review-manipulation tools?
No. A bot may perform legitimate analysis or administrative tasks. The key questions are what it does, what access permits it, and whether it misrepresents someone’s experience.
