A bot is a piece of software that impersonates a user. The strict definition is any software that automates repetitive tasks over the internet, but that is so broad it includes all kinds of applications that won't concern marketers.  The good news is the new wave of bots are built to help marketers, not annoy or mislead them. Bots can act like a human helper, but without the cost of hiring the human.  This opens up a whole load of opportunities. 

Messaging services like Facebook messenger and WhatsApp are extremely popular and have huge user bases, but have proven hard to monetize because advertising in them would retract from the customer experience and thus cause users to move to other messaging apps. So the way these companies see earning revenue from them is via proving services through chat bots. For example, you might start a conversation with a Bot via Facebook messenger and ask it where is a good pizza restaurant nearby, or ask it to buy you some new brown brogues in your size.
