Darkbot was originally created by Undernet server administrator (and SearchIRC founder) Jason Hamilton as an aid for help channels to answer repeated questions from its virtually unlimited database. It has become a very popular talking robot and is used all over IRC for various purposes, such as IRC quote bots, help bots, and emulating humanoid responses.

The last stable release was darkbot6f6, released in 2001. Darkbot has been unmaintained since 2003.[1]

The cobalt project attempts to resurrect & improve on Darkbot functionality.
