Show HN: Roastme.gg – Pay to get publicly roasted by AI

Roastme.gg launched on August 21, 2026, as a consumer web product that lets users pay to receive a public AI-generated roast of themselves, according to a Show HN post by author alexcloudstar.

The product's premise is straightforward: a user pays, submits information about themselves, and the platform's AI produces a roast that is displayed publicly on the site. The Show HN listing does not disclose pricing tiers, the underlying AI model used, or what personal information users submit to generate the roast.

Beyond the HN post, no additional details about the company — including its founding date, team size, location, or any prior funding — are available from the sources provided. The post was authored under the handle alexcloudstar and had received 2 points and no comments at the time of submission.

The product sits in a small but recognizable niche of novelty AI consumer apps that blend humor with user-generated content. The "roast" format has an established audience online, from Reddit's r/RoastMe community to live comedy events, and AI tools capable of generating sardonic, personalized text have made automated versions of the concept technically straightforward to build. Roastme.gg appears to be an early-stage, solo or small-team project rather than a venture-backed startup, though the sources do not confirm either characterization.

No roadmap, expansion plans, or forward-looking statements were included in the Show HN submission. Further details about the product's monetization structure or content moderation approach would need to come directly from the site or its creator.
