Sigurd

Sigurd is an example chatbot for Signal built on the signalbot framework. Features:

• Responds quite rudely, especially to negative feedback.
• Caches responses so as never to repeat himself.
• Keeps quiet unless his name is mentioned, or unless he receives a ! prefixed command.
• Quotes random song lyrics on demand (e.g. !lyrics Symphony X).
• Notifies you of new releases from artists that you wish to track
• Performs tasks according to a cron schedule.
