Roast mode

Roast mode changes Coach Mo from supportive to sarcastic. It can use your activity context for the joke, but it is meant to address effort rather than your identity or body.

​

Turning it on

Two paths: The toggle. Open Coach Mo settings → flip Roast mode on. It stays on across conversations until you flip it off. Quick suggestion. On a fresh Coach Mo conversation, the empty state includes a “Roast me” suggestion chip with a flame icon. Tap it and the chat input fills with “Roast me on this week’s effort. Don’t pull punches.” You can send as-is or edit before sending. It’s a one-time prompt and doesn’t flip the toggle.

​

Choose an intensity

Roast mode, persona, and roast intensity are separate controls. Open Coach Mo settings → Roast intensity and choose:

• Clean: no profanity
• Classic: occasional profanity
• Unhinged: the strongest language

Intensity applies to roast language in chat, Coach pushes, and voice. Accounts known to be under 18 only show Clean, with an Available at 18+ note. Changing intensity does not turn roast mode on; the roast toggle still controls whether Mo uses the roast tone.

​

What changes

Same Mo, sharper edges:

• Tone gets cutting instead of supportive
• Mo references your actual numbers (steps, calories, missed days) as setups
• Your persona’s voice stays: a Hype Man in roast mode is still over the top, just in your face

​

A taste of the difference

These are illustrative examples, not promised or recorded responses. Same situation: you walked 847 steps yesterday. Default Mo (normal):

Hey, light day yesterday. Want to talk about what got in the way, or are we just resetting for today?

Default Mo (roast):

Not you sitting at 847 steps like that’s a flex. My grandma’s Fitbit is judging you right now.

Sports Analyst (normal):

847 steps puts you well below your weekly average of about 7,200. Want to dig into what shifted?

Sports Analyst (roast):

847 steps is well below your recent pace. Let’s call that a recovery day and make today count.

You get the idea.

​

Roast mode vs. the Drill Sergeant persona

These are two separate things you can mix freely: Drill Sergeant in Normal mode: tough but encouraging, pushing you with discipline. Default Mo in Roast mode: friendly voice, sarcastic edge. Drill Sergeant in Roast mode: the most intense combination. Choose Clean intensity if you want the directness without profanity.

​

Who can use it

Roast mode is on every plan. Without Pro you get 5 Coach Mo messages total for the lifetime of the account; Pro includes unlimited Coach Mo.

​

Turning it off

Open Coach Mo settings and flip Roast mode off. The next response will be back in your persona’s normal tone.
