List Of 50 Useful Google Wave Bots

What Is Google Wave Bot?

A bot looks like any other Wave participant or contact. It has a Wave ID in the form of bot@example.com, and you can add it to your Contacts list just as you would any Wave user. The only difference between a bot and a human Wave user is that the bot is programmed to automatically perform some function within a wave. A bot is an automated wave participant that examines the contents of waves to which it is added, and updates or adds to them based on what it’s programmed to do.

For example, there are bots programmed to automatically delete empty blips in a wave, or link all words that start with an @ sign (i.e., @<em>twitter_username</em>) to Twitter. [source]
