How is bot support ? (Or just regular accounts that can send messages using APIs and not GUI clients)

I run an instance of matrix for alert bots only but Synapse is too heavy and Dendrite is focusing too much on federation and less of chat related features.

What about Conduit? Recently entered beta and is also written in rust.

Some screenshots and features of Conduit would be nice.

It doesn't seem like they have explicit bot support yet given their roadmap[1]. It's supposed to be in their next update though.
