Twitter Bots Everyone Should Follow
Automated Twitter accounts are a source of a lot of spam, but there are exceptions. Actually, Twitter has some great bots that add useful features like coloring photos, solving puzzles, and taking screenshots of tweets. Here are seven of our favorites.
AI chess vision
If you’re a chess fan, you should check out the Chessvision Twitter bot. The next time you see a screenshot of a chessboard on Twitter, simply reply to a tweet with a @ChessvisionAI scan and the AI bot will tell you which side has a better chance of winning. You can answer by scanning white or scanning black if you want to tell the bot which side you want to win on, and the bot will share the solution, a link to the board analysis, and a video so you can learn more.
ThreadReader
Viral Twitter topics can be unwieldy, so the ThreadReader collects all the text from any Twitter topic and converts the tweets into a simple article. Just reply to any tweet with @threadreaderapp unroll and the bot will do the rest.
moonshot
Interested in space? Check out Moonshot Bot , which tweets photos from the Apollo Project Archive four times a day. He also links to the Flickr page for an archive with each tweet, so you can check out more photos from NASA’s manned missions to the moon whenever you want.
Remind me of this
Whether it’s the start of a game or the start of Black Friday sales, a good reminder bot will help you remember something important. @RemindMe_OfThis is the best Twitter reminder bot. Reply to any tweet with @RemindMe_OfThis in X days , where X is a number, and the bot will reply to you on schedule. Just be sure to turn on reply notifications so you don’t miss them. You can also ask the bot to remind you in X minutes, hours or years.
Poet_It
@Poet_This is a bot worth checking out for taking screenshots of tweets. Reply to any tweet with @Poet_This and the bot will share a screenshot of the tweet. You can also mention the bot along with a few keywords to customize how the screenshots look. If you want to take a screenshot of an entire branch, mention the bot and use the all keyword. If you’re looking for an alternative, Screenshoter is also worth a try.
