# Huginn

> Huginn is an MIT-licensed Rails app (release v2026.10.14) where agents scrape sites, watch RSS, IMAP, webhooks and MQTT, and post to Slack, Telegram, email and more, passing events along a graph. It can call OpenAI-compatible APIs. Runs on Unix (Docker recommended), not Windows; needs MySQL or PostgreSQL, 0.5 GB RAM minimum and 2 GB recommended. You wire agents together yourself rather than picking from a large app catalogue.

## What it replaces
- Zapier: App-to-app workflows, Scheduled automations, Webhooks (partial). Hackable agent graph with web scraping and webhooks; far fewer built-in app integrations.
