## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability allthebot-excuse-generator-8e02bdcc
```

Example prompt: Can you generate an absurd excuse in English for why I missed my deadline? Something totally ridiculous and creative.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, creative, ready-to-use excuse for a specific situation and want control over tone (believable vs absurd) and language (English or French). Ideal for humor bots, icebreaker apps, or any agent that needs to humorously handle social or workplace situations.
