Ghostbot is a special bot that you can assign to any active Burner. It's as simple as creating a number using the app, then activating Ghostbot to interact with that skeevy match from Tinder or that coworker who just can't take a hint. For instance, a message asking if you want to "hang out" might receive a response like "I'm pretty busy but I'll get back to you." Nothing rude, but direct enough to communicate the fact that you just aren't interested. These canned responses are sent after Ghostbot analyzes the texts sent to you via your Burner number, with appropriate ones sent as replies.



Burner is serving up Ghostbot as proof of what developers can accomplish with its Developer Connection platform, which allows anyone to create their own extensions on top of the Burner service. Ghostbot is an interesting creation as-is, however, and surely a useful tool for anyone who's ever had trouble figuring out how to exit gracefully from a conversation they just weren't digging.
