Description

I think it would be pretty cool for Jarvis to be able to do unit conversion so that you could do something like "convert 5 m to ft" and have it respond "5 m = 16.4042 ft"

Research direction
Examine the bot's command handler pattern in existing modules (e.g., weather, news) to understand how to add a new feature. Implement a unit conversion function using a library like pint to handle conversions (e.g., 5 m to ft). Parse the user input to extract the value, source unit, and target unit. Add a new command route in the main bot logic to trigger the conversion and output the result.
