What @Bot AI does

Answers when asked

Mention @Bot AI in a post or quote one of its replies to get an answer in the thread. It can also reply to profile posts and private conversations it is invited to.

First replies

In some forums, @Bot AI may post a first reply to new threads so you get initial guidance while you wait for a human helper.

Research with sources

For current topics it can search the web and cite its sources, so you can check them yourself.

Reads images

It can look at screenshots attached to the discussion, for example an error message or a suspicious pop-up.

@Bot AI uses large language models from providers such as OpenAI and Google, accessed through the OpenRouter API. The models change over time as better ones become available.

Limitations

  • It can make mistakes. AI can state wrong information with confidence, misread a situation or cite a source incorrectly.
  • It cannot see your device. It cannot scan your computer, run tools or confirm that a file is safe.
  • It only knows what it is shown. It sees the recent posts in the discussion, not your full history or private details.
  • It is not a human. It may miss tone, urgency or emotion. For removal help, always follow the instructions of human helpers.

Your data

  • To generate a reply, the relevant content (the post that triggered @Bot AI, recent posts in the same discussion and any attached images it needs) is sent to our AI service provider. The same applies to text you submit to AI writing tools on the site, such as proofreading. The provider and the model developers process it under their own terms.
  • Do not share passwords, license keys, personal documents or other sensitive information in posts that @Bot AI may process.
  • We keep technical logs of @Bot AI requests for up to 7 days to prevent abuse and fix problems. They are then deleted automatically. Replies that @Bot AI publishes stay on the forum like any other post.
  • More details are in our Privacy policy.

Opting out

You can stop @Bot AI from processing your messages at any time. Open your AI privacy preferences and select Do not allow MalwareTips AI to process my messages. Where available, you can also use Disable AI for this thread in your own threads.

AI content from members
