What is FoolPot and how does it work?

FoolPot's an interactive 418 error page: request coffee, face AI interrogation via Gemini, get scored and roasted with animated teapot fury.

How does FoolPot use Google Gemini API?

Gemini processes answers against a custom philosophy, outputs JSON with Brewability Score and roast text—drives the whole UI meltdown.

Is FoolPot free to deploy or just a demo?

Demo's on free-tier Cloud Run; source implied open for your own judgmental errors—fork and vibe-check your users.
