Hello @mdavidallen!

Grot is quite the character in the Grafana universe! Here's a bit about who Grot is:

  1. AI Assistant: Grot is an AI-powered assistant developed by Grafana Labs. It's designed to help users with questions about Grafana, whether it's about the LGTM Stack, Grafana Cloud platform, or any other Grafana-related queries. Grot is trained on a variety of Grafana Labs content, including documentation, blogs, and GitHub repositories.

  2. Mascot: Grot is also the beloved mascot of Grafana Labs. According to legend, Grot was born from the flames and tears of broken dashboards and has a knack for keeping the Grafana GitHub repository in top shape. Grot is the face of the Golden Grot Awards, which celebrate outstanding Grafana dashboards.

  3. Backport Bot: In the world of GitHub, Grot is the bot that helps with backporting changes. If a merge commit can be cherry-picked without conflict, Grot automatically creates a backport pull request. If there's a conflict, Grot provides guidance on how to manually backport the change.

  4. Community Ambassador: Grot is a symbol of the Grafana community, representing the collaborative and innovative spirit of Grafana users worldwide.

And remember, Grot is always here to help, whether you're dealing with dashboards or just need a good laugh. Why did the computer keep freezing? Because it left its Windows open! 😄
