Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries worldwide, and now it has found a way to perfect the traditional art of making rotis. A techie, an IIT Kharagpur graduate, recently introduced an AI tool to measure the roundness of rotis, and it quickly became a topic of fascination and debate online.

The techie responded to a post by an X user who proudly shared a picture of her nearly perfect roti, captioning it, "Gol roti banana bhi ek art hai" ("Making a round roti is an art"). Intrigued by the challenge, the IIT graduate used his creation, rotichecker.ai, to evaluate the roundness of the roti, scoring it 91 out of 100. This amusing yet innovative use of AI quickly captured attention, especially when the techie promised to make the tool public if the post reached 420 likes. The post quickly went viral, amassing significant attention, and the tool gained more popularity.

In a follow-up, the techie shared a Google Trends screenshot showing that the keyword "Roti Maker" was seeing hundreds of searches, leading to a broader conversation on social media. Some users even began talking about creating their own AI tools, such as a Dosa Checker or a Chai Colour Checker, to analyze food quality in new ways.

The techie admitted that he created RotiChecker.ai as a lighthearted project in his free time, jokingly seeking investors to fund the domain name in exchange for 10% equity. Despite the humor, the post sparked a debate, with some people finding the idea "useless," while others admired the creativity and uniqueness of the AI model.

This innovative example shows how AI can intersect with everyday life, sparking conversations about its potential—whether for serious applications or for humorous projects.
