* "tell me more"
* "who is elon musk"
* "continue"
* "tell me more"

### Adding more `infobox` intents

internal `.intent` files can be added to allow parsing infoboxes returned by duckduckgo

first print the target infobox to inspect the returned results
```python
from skill_ovos_ddg import DuckDuckGoSolver
d = DuckDuckGoSolver()
info = d.get_infobox("Stephen Hawking")[0]
print(info)
# {'age at death': '76 years',
#  'born': {'after': 0,

```
under `DuckDuckGoSolver.register_from_file` add your new `xxx.intent` file, where `xxx` needs to be a key present in the infobox, underscores are replaced with whitespaces

then that infobox value will be mapped to that intent file
