Microsoft has built a new website that will tell an individual how old does one look by analyzing the face through a picture.

Microsoft's machine-learning team has launched a website Howold.net on trial bases recently at the BUILD conference that will let a person upload a picture, and then will quickly analyze the individual, and spits out an estimated age, TechCrunch reported.

The new age guessing website requires an under 3MB well-lit photo to evaluate one's age right away with the help of their robot.

The software engineers explained that they initially hoped to get around 50 users on an average but within some hours tens of thousands of people have used this new feature that created difficulty for the engineers to keep the servers up.
