The webpage is quite unclear as to exactly what this is.

While I too had a hard time reading through the website, I was amused by the author's style (e.g. "the moderators visit the room frequently and can bust your bubble") and also enjoy the names of the bots such as Guttenberg, as a nod to the famous plagiarism scandal in Germany.

Speaking of names, the vandalism detector is named "Belisarius" https://stackapps.com/questions/7473/belisarius-detecting-va....

(The other names have some back story behind them, mostly internal to the sobotics team)

Yeah, it's not a great website. TL;DR: SOBotics creates bots to help in moderating Stack Overflow.

But it also made it sound like there was a chat room associated with them?

True. We are lacking a dev who knows how to do some good UI design stuff. We do plan to add more details to the site soon, and have stuff on different pages instead of one dump. We hope that some day we will find some dev who knows some web site stuff!
