  "objective": "Enable home cooks to connect with real chefs through live, interactive online cooking classes — turning kitchens into global culinary classrooms.",
  "product_summary": "Cooksy is a web and mobile platform that lets users discover and book live cooking sessions hosted by local chefs. It solves two problems: home cooks struggle to find authentic, interactive classes online, while chefs lack simple digital tools to share their skills. With Cooksy, users can browse by cuisine, schedule real-time sessions, and build culinary skills from the comfort of home — while chefs earn income doing what they love. The platform is designed to be mobile-first, chef-friendly, and delightful for food lovers of all skill levels.",
