We analyse the data of online chats in the presence of bots, which  are collected from IRC channels and from several experimental situations as well as from the agent-based simulations. The network mapping reveals the structure of social grouping of the users that can be related with the contents and emotion carried by the exchanged messages between the users and the users with the bots. Furthermore, considering the time series of messages by individual users  we observe a typical patterns of communications with the  emotional bots. With the help of the agent-based modeling we explore the mechanisms of emotion spreading among users and potential of the emotional bots to influence the course of  the dynamics.
