Playing MP, I opened 1 at the third seat, the robot responded 1 and I duly passed with 3 s, as I didn't want to risk a 1NT going down with a minimum hand. The robot presented me 6 and 4 . As a result, we missed a good contract.

Why didn't the robot bid its longest suit?

Do the bots play Walsh?

If GIB bids again then it's 3m and terms it a 'bar' bid - shape with limited strength.

GIB thinks it plays Walsh when skipping diamonds, but most assuredly does not from that point onwards. To the extreme where if it holds 5432 AJT987654 it will respond 1 to a 1 opening, and then pass a 1 rebid. And after 1 - 1 it will rebid a 4 card major with a balanced hand. It's just a horrible gap in the system unfortunately.
