I often play tournaments with the computer as a partner. But often when my companion robot alert, his indications are different from reality. Leading us to declare wrong contracts

I have had the same experience multiple times. That is why I will not play in robot tournaments. It's very frustrating.

You shouldn't really be allowed to read its explanation anyway, as this is Unauthorized Information
The idea of bridge is that you should both remember your agreements without help at the table.

But nevertheless this is a huge problem, as the opponents are receiving the same inexact descriptions too, and this is an violation of the laws of bridge.
A corollary is that the descriptions are often the only information available for human partner to learn from, as the official system document is extremely brief and occasionally inexact.

Of course all of this is well known to BBO who do not seem ready even to complete the system document, despite frequent price hikes for the robot.

Well, if the philosophy is to raise prices while not bothering to improve the GIB robots, system, and definitions, then I suppose that explains many things.
