gollark: It can do all the stuff you mention, probably, if you have a lot of computers and I/O devices! But it requires someone, somewhere, to have put in work.
gollark: I guess in some sense that's "commands", but complicated fiddly ones.
gollark: The only way to make it do things is to *program it*, or I guess to use someone else's code.
gollark: You cannot just type in what you want done, maybe with more underscores or something, and expect it to work.
gollark: There are no "commands" to magically make it do exactly what you want.
