## What is Huginn?

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, propogating events along a directed event flow graph. Think of it as Yahoo! Pipes plus ITTT, on your own server. You always know who has your data. You do.
