Twitter is a fastest growing social
networking website which has some interesting features that make it completely
different from other social networking websites. One of the fantastic features
is Twitter Bots which are actual bots who help you to work for you while you
are offline like a personal assistant.
These bots can do so many things
like grammar checking, follow users, retweet and even DM which is cool right?
You can ask these bots and they will respond you like Google Assistant &
Siri. But you have to ask them with the perfect manner! Otherwise, they didn't
respond. For that, you have to create Twitter Bots and configured it.
These bots can automatically
favorite or retweet tweets if it is matched with certain criteria. You have to
define criteria so bots can easily follow your commands. You can also set
auto-reply when anyone follows you or send him DM. You will see on Twitter
while following some prestigious brands or famous person! After following them
you will automatically receive a DM like "thanks for following us!"

will find all tweets that match with a particular keyword and perform the
action. So, it's so simple and you can also create these Bots by yourself
