AutoBot wraps Ansible in chat smarts for scaling deploys across server fleets — health checks, rollouts, rollbacks automated.

Parses natural language, orchestrates playbooks, adds rolling strategies and metrics-based decisions. Cuts hours to minutes.

Promising for mid-scale, but watch for parsing quirks and KB maintenance — not fully battle-tested yet.
