What is Bluesky Roast?
Bluesky Roast is an AI-powered tool that analyzes your Bluesky presence and turns it into a hilarious roast. With millions of users sharing content daily, I thought it would be fun to add some humor to social media analytics.
The AI combines advanced language models with comedy writing techniques to create personalized, witty observations about your posting habits, interactions, and overall Bluesky personality.

I'm Fekri, and I built Bluesky Roast to make social media analysis more entertaining. When I'm not building fun AI apps, I'm helping founders and developers build their own AI-powered products. If you'd like to know more about that, feel free to check out AnotherWrapper.com for more information!
