Question 1

Do I need to upload my friend's photo to roast them?

Accepted Answer

No — and this tool doesn't accept one for that purpose. The whole point of this page is the reframe: instead of uploading a picture, you describe your friend in a few lines — their vibe, a habit everyone teases them about, a running joke, a specific story. @vustbot writes the roast from that description. No photo is needed, and none is read or required at any step.

Question 2

Isn't a photo-based roast better because it's about how they actually look?

Accepted Answer

It's a different kind of funny, not a better one — and it comes with a real cost some people skip past: uploading someone else's photo to an app for a face-based roast means that person never got a say in it. A text description sidesteps that entirely, and in practice, jokes about a friend's actual habits and running bits (the Peloton obsession, the chronic 'omw' lie) tend to land harder at a table of people who actually know the story, compared to a generic appearance joke a photo-scanning app would generate.

Question 3

What should I include in the description to get a good roast?

Accepted Answer

Two or three specific, concrete details beat one vague adjective. 'She's competitive' is flat; 'she's texted omw from her own driveway more than once' is a joke waiting to happen. Include a habit, a running joke your group already has, and maybe one story everyone retells — that's usually enough for @vustbot to write something that sounds like it came from someone who actually knows your friend.

Question 4

Is it appropriate for every friend, or should I check first?

Accepted Answer

Worth a beat of judgment either way. This works best for a friend who already trades jokes with you and would laugh along — a birthday roast, a group-chat bit, a toast. If you're unsure whether the target enjoys being teased, ask @vustbot to keep it warm and affectionate rather than sharp, or run the draft past them before you share it. A roast that reads as genuinely mean isn't the goal here.

Question 5

Does roasting a friend cost anything, or need an account?

Accepted Answer

Yes to free, no to accounts. Telegram is the login — no signup form, no card. The free tier runs on GPT-5-mini and Gemini 3 Flash, and a full roast for your friend costs nothing to generate.

Question 6

Can I use this for more than one friend, or for a whole group?

Accepted Answer

Yes — describe each person in turn in the same chat, or give it a few lines about the whole group's dynamic (who's always late, who never splits the bill evenly) and ask for a roast that covers everyone. It's a running conversation, not a one-friend-per-session tool.
