What Would X Say
The What Would X Say API takes a person and a topic and returns a quote in their voice. Matches keywords like "pirate", "cowboy", "scientist", "philosopher", "ceo", or "grandmother"; otherwise falls back to a deterministic archetype. Includes the matched archetype, fidelity rating, and delivery note.
