Types of bots
According to the degree of complexity of the program, bots are:
- Primitive - a simple utility that is capable of corresponding with users using a monosyllabic script, sending spam and messages. If there is no answer to the user’s question in the database, the chatbot will send messages “I don’t understand you.” Have you seen loanbots? All social networks and more are full of these advertisements. Such bots are often used by credit institutions.
- Advanced ones are bots with artificial intelligence. Such programs are capable of calculating several possible answers to questions, guessing the mood of the person writing, and providing the information that the user needs.
Solving captcha for VK bots
No matter which bot you decide to use, you will still have to solve captcha problems. There are no robots capable of recognizing characters from pictures; you have to be distracted by this yourself every time. There is a solution - this is a service where you can pay beginners some money for help:
Depending on how active the bot is, you will have to constantly top up your balance on the site. Average rates are 40-50 rubles per 1000 solutions, but sometimes prices increase if there are too many orders. Connection is simple, all high-quality bots have an anti-captcha function.
What is special about using bots for messages?
Bots for messages on VKontakte (or autoresponders) are unique assistants whose task is to send competent responses to incoming messages. And the more naturally a robot can communicate, the more in demand it will be.
Bots for messages on VK are used not only by business leaders. They are also in demand among ordinary users. For example, for fun.
Peculiarities:
- Automation. All you need is a high-quality setup. The bot will independently analyze the sent message, select phrases and respond.
- Individuality. Today there are a large number of services that allow you to create your own unique robot and provide it with the capabilities that your project needs.
- High efficiency. The bot will work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It will respond to users instantly and without delay.
- Low cost. It is much cheaper to create and use a program than to hire an individual.
Each bot is based on a code that is responsible for its functionality and capabilities. The more developed the program, the more it can do. Often, when choosing a robotic interlocutor, people look specifically at its capabilities and settings.
Today, for many, it is not enough for a bot to simply respond equally to everyone. People regret having an assistant who will communicate like a completely living person. And today this is possible.
Why do the group need them?
Let's talk about software robots. If you are wondering why such a bot is needed in VK, then you have never encountered maintaining or administering a large group on social networks. A large platform where new friendship requests are received every minute, fresh comments, questions, clarifications, etc. appear. Each such action requires a response from the admin of the VK group - you need to confirm the application, communicate with the newcomer, answer a comment or question, not forget about an important event, conduct the competition correctly (assign numbers to participants, etc.). And, at the same time, put down rude people, send out newsletters about news, promotions or discounts, give a detailed description of the group’s activities, etc. And all this, without forgetting about actually leading the group. About promotion, publishing new content, drawing up an event plan and other pressing issues.
Imagine having a hardworking assistant perform all these small tasks for you. A small, imperturbable robot who will not forget a single assignment! Free, ready to work around the clock, without sick leave, PMS or hangover! Should you wrap it?!

What are bots on VKontakte
Bots are custom “fake” pages that are designed for communication, sending spam, messages, boosting subscriptions, and simply for advertising purposes.
Bots can be purchased or created. But purchasing from special services is not profitable, because the bot accounts available for sale are designed correctly and with high quality, which affects the price of the page.
It is also not possible to register a bot on your own, because all pages on VKontakte are linked to a mobile phone number. You won’t specifically buy a new SIM card just for sending spam or promotion, will you? There is only one way out - to purchase bots cheaply through message boards.

What is a bot in VK: difference from other services
When choosing an artificial interlocutor as the main communication channel with the audience, it is important to understand how it differs from other platforms. The main criteria, including those related to functions, customization and capabilities in communicating with users, remain unchanged. They are provided by third-party servers and do not depend on VK. At the same time, the social network itself has some features:
- lack of a menu - the VKontakte bot for groups explains itself what needs to be entered in the text field to get the result;
- Subscribing to a group, liking or reposting cannot be made a mandatory condition of work;
- the promised service, for example, photo processing, sending a text, distributing a coupon, must be provided by the program no more than 24 hours in advance;
- the command must be understandable and relevant to the result;
- Too frequent transfers to other sites are not allowed, unless the purpose is related to the search for goods, services or other information.
Taking into account all these criteria, it will be possible to avoid disabling the chatbot, especially since the administration of the social network reserves this possibility. But the work can be done for a fee, either in the format of a subscription or a one-time transaction.
Advantages and disadvantages
Robotic interlocutors for communication on VKontakte have a number of advantages and disadvantages. Let's talk about them.
The advantages include:
- complete automation of the process. You just need to configure the bot correctly;
- saving personal time;
- the program works around the clock without interruption and responds without delay;
- the ability to deeply develop answering machines so that they communicate like real people;
- large selection of services;
- low cost.
The disadvantages include:
- certain knowledge about the target audience is required in order to correctly set up communication using keys;
- if not sufficiently developed, people will see that a robot is communicating with them. It's off-putting.
How to identify an online bot
A fake can be identified by several criteria: it is a recently registered page with a minimum of information on it or, conversely, chaotically filled with scattered data. Bots usually do not have personal photos, friends are dominated by the same bots, numbering in the thousands, there is no original content among the publications, and reposts are predominantly advertising in nature.
It should be added that bot authors work tirelessly to improve the quality of their creations, and they are increasingly difficult to distinguish from real users. For example, online bots used in chats are quite convincingly capable of imitating live human communication.
