Hack #2: Cloudflare · Cloudflare
2 Apr, 01:34
I built The Grill for the ElevenHacks hackathon—a website roaster that scans any URL and delivers a sharp, characterful audio roast in seconds. To achieve ultra-low latency and realistic character narration, I leaned on a specialized stack at the edge: ⚡️ Scraping: Cloudflare HTMLRewriter for lightning-fast, serverless parsing of target sites. 🧠 Analysis: Llama-3 via Cloudflare Workers AI to generate witty, tech-literate roasts. 🎙 Narration: ElevenLabs Flash v2.5 for high-fidelity, character-driven voiceovers. 🔊 Atmosphere: ElevenLabs Sound Effects API to generate a custom grill-sizzle background track on the fly. 💾 Infrastructure: Cloudflare Durable Objects to manage global state and the "Leaderboard of Victims." The result? A seamless, immersive experience that goes from URL entry to a medium-rare roast in under 3 seconds.
