The IQRoast Story

How did it all start?

Hi! I’m Norbi, the creator of IQRoast.

In the fall of 2023, I was unemployed (again), and instead of looking for a job, I decided to learn programming. I bought a “Programming in 30 Days” book at the market for 500 forints (about $1.50).

By day 3, I gave up and started watching YouTube tutorials. By day 7, I was copy-pasting from Stack Overflow. By day 14, I realized ChatGPT could write the code for me.

And that’s how IQRoast was born!

The inspiration:

One day I looked in the mirror and thought: “I wish there was an app that would tell me how lame I am.” Then I realized – why not make such an app?

So I started working on an AI-based personality analyzer application that… well, is honest with you.

More alien species

currently there’s only 1, but in 6 colors!

Even more honest AI responses
Maybe learn to actually code
