The bot is non-functional because it relies entirely on the jService API, which has been permanently shut down, as admitted in the README.
There is no built-in fallback or documentation for integrating other trivia APIs, requiring significant custom development to revive it.
It only works with Slack, lacking compatibility with other chat platforms like Microsoft Teams or Discord, reducing its versatility.
