# Gift-a-Roast 🎁🔥

An insult-as-a-service platform: order a custom AI roasting call to send to anyone, in their regional dialect, optionally set to music.

## Overview

1. **Website:** Customer visits, selects insult style/dialect/accent, enters recipient's phone number, schedules delivery, pays
2. **Call:** Recipient gets a Twilio call from an AI agent who insults them in the requested regional dialect
3. **Song mode:** Optional — the insult comes as a sung roast tune
