## What it is
Huginn is a self-hosted system for building agents that perform automated tasks online, such as monitoring websites, watching Twitter, and sending notifications. Agents create and consume events along a directed graph, acting like a hackable, self-hosted IFTTT or Zapier.

## Use cases
- scrape websites and get an email when they change
- track weather and get notified when it will rain
- monitor Twitter for keyword spikes
- watch for shopping or travel deals
- send digest emails at scheduled times
- send and receive webhooks
- build automated notification pipelines

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted IFTTT/Zapier alternative with full data control
- you need to automate web monitoring and notifications
- you want to chain event-driven agents in a graph
- you prefer Ruby and can extend agents yourself

## When to avoid
- you need a fully managed no-code automation service
- you don't want to run and maintain your own server
- you need heavy-duty enterprise workflow orchestration
