Show HN: RoboComic – Stand-up battles powered by AI (TTS, custom personas)

https://robo-comic.vercel.app/
1•lukuch•10h ago
Hey HN

I've been working on a fun side project called RoboComic – an app where virtual comedians duel each other in AI-generated stand-up battles, roast contests, and witty comebacks. It’s a playful experiment at the intersection of language, humor, and artificial intelligence.

What it does:

Generates stand-up battles using agentic AI (multi-agent conversation)

  Lets users choose or create custom comedic personas (after login)

 Uses Text-to-Speech (TTS) to voice the jokes

 Works in English and Polish
It’s open-source and runs in the browser (no installation required):

Demo: https://robo-comic.vercel.app/

GitHub: https://github.com/lukuch/RoboComic

I'm especially curious whether the humor works or totally flops (dry as the desert ). Feedback, ideas, and bug reports are very welcome!

Thanks for checking it out
