   # Get version
   version = client.api_version
   puts "SimpleX Chat version: #{version}"
   
   # Listen to incoming client messages
   loop do
     chat_msg = client.next_chat_message
     break if chat_msg == nil
   
     # Reply if user sends '/say_hello'
     if chat_msg[:msg_text] == "/say_hello"
       client.api_send_text_message chat_msg[:chat_type], chat_msg[:sender], "Hello! This was sent automagically"
