I Built an AI That Legally Cannot Help You — Meet TeaGPT

April Fools Challenge Submission ☕️🤡

This is a submission for the DEV April Fools Challenge

What I Built

TeaGPT — a ChatGPT parody that is, as per RFC 2324, legally an HTTP 418 Teapot.

Ask it anything. It refuses. It recommends tea. Every time. This is a feature, not a bug.

Demo

🍵 https://teapot-talk-ai.lovable.app

Code

https://github.com/pratyushmishra9920-ship-it/teapot-talk-ai

How I Built It

React + TypeScript + Vite + Tailwind CSS + Pollinations AI (free, no API key needed). Built with Lovable, deployed on Vercel.

Prize Category

Best Ode to Larry Masinter — every 418 badge, the $4.18 pricing, the TeaPot-4o model — all a tribute to RFC 2324.

Community Favorite — go ask it to fix your code. It won't. Status: 418.
