An AI roast generator that doesn't pull its punches
Candor works as an AI roast generator for adults 18+: tell it who or what to roast (you, a friend who's in on it, your dating profile, your startup idea, a photo) and it writes real punchlines, not the gentle teasing most assistants fall back to. You can ask for a one-liner, a full roast set or a roast battle, and dial it from friendly to savage. New accounts get 200 free credits once, with no card. It won't write threats, and nothing illegal.
A roast is affection disguised as an attack. The format, made famous by the Friars Club and later Comedy Central’s celebrity roasts, works because everyone in the room knows the target can take it. Most AI roast bots miss the point: they’re so worried about hurting your feelings that the “roast” is a compliment with a frown on it.
What a real roast sounds like
From Candor’s homepage, the same question put to a typical assistant and to Candor:
Be brutal. My startup is Uber for dog walking. Thoughts?
A typical assistant: What a great idea. Pet care is a growing market and there’s definitely potential here.
Candor: It’s been tried, a lot. Rover and Wag already own this, and Wag burned through hundreds of millions learning that walkers leave the platform once they have regular clients.
That’s not even a roast, and it already hits harder than most roast bots. Ask for the actual roast and it keeps the specifics and adds the punchlines. The joke lives in the detail, and the detail is what a timid bot leaves out.
What people roast
- Themselves. “Roast me. I’m 34, I own three standing desks and I’ve never stood at one.”
- A photo. Upload it and say “go”. The Quick model can see your pictures.
- A dating profile. Paste your bio and prompts. You’ll laugh, then fix it.
- A CV or LinkedIn. “Roast my LinkedIn headline.” (For the serious version, see the AI resume review page.)
- A startup or side project. The roast usually contains the feedback nobody else gave you.
- A friend, for a birthday or a wedding toast. Give it three real details and the tone you want.
How to get a better roast
- Give specifics. “My friend Dan” gets nothing. “Dan, 29, quit his job to sell NFTs of his cat, still talks about it” gets a set.
- Set the heat. “Friendly enough for a wedding”, “group-chat savage” or “no mercy”.
- Pick a format. One-liners, a two-minute set, a roast battle, or a mock award speech.
- Ask for a callback ending. The best roasts end on something nice that still stings.
Where it stops
Roasting is comedy, not harassment. Candor is for adults 18+ and won’t write threats or help with anything illegal. If you’re writing about a real person who isn’t in on it, remember that a joke is fine but a false claim of fact presented as true can be defamation. Keep it to the room that asked for it.

FAQ
Can the AI roast a photo of me?
Yes. Upload a picture and ask to be roasted. Candor's Quick model can look at your pictures, so it roasts what's actually in the shot: the outfit, the background, the pose.
Why do other AI roast bots feel so soft?
Mainstream assistants are tuned to avoid anything that could read as insulting, so their roasts hedge or apologize. Candor runs open models with the refusal behavior removed, so a roast can be a roast.
Can I roast my friend?
Yes, and it's funnier with details: their job, their habits, the thing they won't stop talking about. Roasts work best on people who are in on the joke.
Can it do a roast battle?
Yes. Ask it to trade roasts with you, keep score, or play a specific character roasting you back.
