I Built An AI That Roasts Me. It Hurt.

Developer Nandan Das built Roaster0, an AI tool that generates five brutal roasts and one genuine compliment for any input—website, image, bio, or text. The project, hosted on Netlify, uses a 'Bureau of Unsolicited Opinions' framing to prompt large language models like GPT and Gemini to deliver harsh critiques. Das found that self-roasting and a retro-tactile UI drive engagement, making the tool a marketing success.

Meet Roaster0 - my "Automated Code Review · Bureau of Unsolicited Opinions"

The idea was simple:

Paste a website, image, bio, text, or literally any object.

Get back 5 brutal roast points + 1 genuine compliment.

Built for laughs. Not for therapy.

I uploaded my photo and 24 chars of bio that said "None".

Here's what Roaster0 said:

"On a serious note, you have a really clean aesthetic, and building and hosting your own portfolio is a great milestone."

Roast anything at roaster0.netlify.app

Okay... I'll take it.

LLMs are savage if you prompt them right

The "Bureau of Unsolicited Opinions" framing makes GPT/ Gemini go full Gordon Ramsay.

Design matters more than the AI

People share the roast because the retro-tactile UI + red "BRUTAL SEVERITY" stamp looks good in screenshots.

Self-roasting is the best marketing

Nothing gets clicks like "AI roasted the creator."

Roast a website, your resume, your ex's bio, a Samsung fridge. Anything.

👉 roaster0.netlify.app Made by me - Nandan Das.

Yes it's on free Netlify. No I don't have a custom domain yet. Yes I'm aware.

What should I roast next?

Drop a link, photo, or bio in the comments and I'll run it through Roaster0 👇
