The game was a solid 7 and the robot did not need to know how many kings I had, but the robot still asked for them and surprisingly stopped at 6.

Thank you

GIB frequently is unimaginative in counting to 13 tricks during the auction. Here, I'm guessing that it was afraid you were something like 6124, and bad splits could have given you a problem in collecting everything. Replacing your ♣Q with ♦K makes 7 more clear.

At another table with a different beginning, GIB asked for kings, was told none, and went to 7 anyway:
Maybe GIB figured South for at least one Q, maybe 2, for the 2♣ opening and was looking to get to 7N (at IMPs, btw) if South showed ♦K?
