This document discusses how bots can automate tasks in building information modeling (BIM) by taking advantage of open web APIs and data. It argues that individual bots providing niche applications can create a new market that is not dependent on any single platform. Bots could perform automated tasks by subscribing to events in the BIM data and being triggered when those events occur. Examples of potential BIM bots include clash detection bots, cost estimation bots, supplier bots, validation checkers, and more. The document advocates shifting away from separate "islands" of collaboration towards this more open ecosystem of interoperable bots.
