What is AutoBot for Ansible?

AutoBot adds chat-driven smarts to Ansible — natural language triggers playbooks, orchestrates fleets, rolling deploys with health checks.

Does AutoBot replace Ansible Tower?

Nah, enhances core Ansible. Tower's GUI-heavy; AutoBot's chat-first, lighter for chatops fans.

Is AutoBot free for production fleets?

Core's open-ish from parts 1-2, but scale needs their orchestrator — check pricing, likely tiers.
