BanchoBot's user card
BanchoBot (sometimes referred to as Bancho) is an online chat bot made for osu! that assists people in the in-game chat by announcing game-related messages (e.g. total plays, retries, etc.), and responding to certain commands. It was programmed by Echo and is the provider of the Bancho IRC (Internet Relay Chat).
BanchoBot also has its own osu! profile and Twitter account.
Commands
For a list of in-game client commands, see: Chat Console
BanchoBot can respond to player commands through specific typed messages in chat. All BanchoBot commands start with an exclamation mark (!) followed by the case-insensitive name of the command (with no space between). These commands can be used in chat channels and through private messages with BanchoBot.
If a normal user sends a command in a public chat channel, other users will not see it, and the response will be displayed in a private message with BanchoBot. Users may also use the /bb in-game client command to automatically open a tab with BanchoBot and send the command immediately.

The output depends on the game mode that the entered user last played, although BanchoBot will not display which game mode the stats came from. If asked to display stats from a user that has never played osu!, BanchoBot will respond with User not found, even if the user does exist. An example of sending this command is shown below:
