Ask HN: Do you use slack bots at work?

I used to work at a place where we had Slack but that was around 4 years ago, bots were getting started. Wondering do you or your team use them? If so, what do you use that mainly for?

We have a bunch of slack bots for common tasks like resetting passwords and setting up dev environments. I can send a message to the slackbot and spin up a copy of the app with a specific branch running, for example. We also have read only bots that notify when builds fail or something is broken
