Hi all

Please bear with me

Imagine you and a couple of other Bridge enthusiasts are sitting around a table with a couple of packs of cards desperate for a game of Bridge missing a 4th player who understood at least the basics of a number of systems and was a competent player

Two players looking looking very forlorn until the third rummages around in a case and produces a robot player, capable of shuffling, l, card playing and decent bidding, and sits it at the the table in the fourth seat. Starts shuffling cards, asking who wants to be partners etc. Even the occasional witty remark and decent knowledge of current affairs to engage in conversation.

Does such a useful robotic player exist

I can’t say none exists, since my exposure is limited to BBO. However, on BBO the answer is a resounding NO

jack is good enough unless you are a top international in my opinion. Unless you play forcing pass or similar. Qplus is also good enough but not as good as jack but maybe plays a bit more human like guessing what jacks dbls mean is a bit hard sometimes. wbridge is also good enough if you are french and can stand its insane stayman.
