# edgarbot
< I^_^|> *Beep Boop*
edgarbot is a chatbot that lives in your imessages!
Inspired by hubot, Edgar is a work in progress that aims to be a programmable chatbot which you and all of your friends can talk to when using imessage.
Edgar works by linking together various bits of information/functionality on your OSX machine:
- The sqlite DBs that contain all of your imessage data

- ~~Your contacts from your icloud account~~ NO LONGER!!

- Applescript's ability to communicate with native apps
Edgar is very much a work in progress but can run on your very own iMessage instance!
