GitHub describes it as Create agents that monitor and act on your behalf. Your agents are standing by!. The repository metadata lists Ruby as its primary language. The metadata lists the MIT license. The README describes the project this way: Huginn is a system for building agents that perform automated tasks for you online. They can read the web, watch for events, and take actions on your behalf. Huginn's Agents create and consume events, propagating them along a directed graph. Think of it as a hackable version of IFTTT or Zapier on your own server. You always know who has your data. You do.

The README section "What is Huginn?" states: Track the weather and get an email when it's going to rain (or snow) tomorrow ("Don't forget your umbrella!") List terms that you care about and receive email when their occurrence on Twitter changes. (For example, want to know when something interesting has happened in the world of Machine Learning? Huginn will watch the term "machine learning" on Twitter and tell you when there is a spike in discussion.) Watch for air travel or shopping deals Follow your project names on Twitter and get updates when people mention them Scrape websites and receive email when they change Connect to HipChat, FTP, IMAP, Jabber, JIRA, MQTT, nextbus, Pushbullet, Pushover, RSS, Bash, Slack, StubHub, translation APIs, Twilio, Twitter, and Weibo, to name a few. Send digest email with things that you care about at specific times during the day Track counts of high frequency events and send an SMS within moments when they spike, such as the term "san francisco emergency" Send and receive WebHooks Run custom JavaScript functions Track your location over time Create Amazon Mechanical Turk workflows as the inputs, or outputs, of agents (the Amazon Turk Agent is called the "HumanTaskAgent"). For example: "Once a day, ask 5 people for a funny cat photo; send the results to 5 more people to be rated; send the top-rated photo to 5 people for a funny caption; send to 5 final people to rate for funniest caption; finally, post the best captioned photo on my blog."
