A cognitive prosthetic with comic timing.
The point is not novelty. The point is compression. Roast takes the long, emotionally noisy writing you already have, distills it into clear context, and hands it back as a private audio artifact you might actually finish.
What Roast is
A paid product, not a gimmick. Acquisition, billing, onboarding, inbox storage, personalization, audio generation, and operator visibility all live inside the same contract set.
Not another dead-end AI toy. V1 avoids fake free trials, self-serve alias complexity, custom podcast apps, and half-implemented spam boxes. The product boundary stays tight on purpose.
Principles
Canonical identity
One email everywhere. The same email owns checkout, login, and account state.
Observable internals
Nothing important disappears into magic. Every accepted inbound email stays visible.
Context with provenance
Facts used in the product point back to where they came from instead of hiding behind opaque memory.
