Want one written for your exact chat?
Lists are a start, but the lines that land are the ones about the actual conversation. Upload a screenshot, a photo, or describe the situation, and SpicyReplies writes one reply built around it. Works with WhatsApp, iMessage, Instagram, Snapchat, Tinder, Hinge, Bumble and Discord.
- Pick roast mode.
- Upload the chat screenshot or photo, or describe what happened.
- Get a short reply you can copy and send in seconds.
How to get a roast that actually lands
- Give the AI something specific: an exact message, a photo detail, a habit. Generic input gets generic roasts.
- Roast what someone did or said, not things they cannot change.
- Shorter hits harder. One line beats a paragraph.
