Twitter bot
Auto-posting social account
A Twitter bot is an automated account on the social media platform Twitter (now X) that posts, replies, or interacts without direct human control.
Some bots provide useful services—posting weather updates, news headlines, or automated customer support.
Others spread spam, amplify political messages, or artificially inflate follower counts.

The term often carries a negative connotation, implying inauthentic engagement or manipulation.
