Important note
Bot DOES hear what it says, so you will get a chat_message event when bot says something in local chat.
Make sure to ignore bot's own messages (especially for auto-responders)! See the example below.
Example
Bot.on("chat_message", function(event) {
// Ignore own messages
if(event.own_message) { return; }
console.log(event.speaker_name + " says: \n" + event.message);
});
console.log("Bot is listening for local chat");
