## What is The Lab Cooks?

Don't ruin the cook.
The Lab is your personal cooking coach — it scores your food, tells you exactly what to fix, and remembers your kitchen so the coaching gets better every time.

GRADE YOUR COOKING
Snap a photo of anything you've cooked and get an instant scorecard out of 10. See exactly what you nailed, what to fix, and how to level up — calibrated to your skill level.

REAL COACHING, NOT GENERIC TIPS
Every scorecard includes:
- WHAT I SEE — detailed visual observations
- DO THIS NOW — one specific fix to make right now
- PRO TIP — expert insight tailored to your dish
- COACHING TIPS — technique guidance to level up

COOK SESSIONS
Chat with your coach before, during, and after any cook. Get real-time help with technique, substitutions, timing, and troubleshooting.

YOUR KITCHEN, REMEMBERED
Tell The Lab about your equipment, pantry, and spices. The more context you give, the more personalized every session becomes.

RECIPES & NUTRITION
Save recipes from your cook sessions. Get estimated calories and macros. Build your personal cookbook over time.

SHAREABLE SCORECARDS
Share your scores as branded scorecard images. Challenge your friends to beat your grade.

FREE TO TRY
Grading is free — no account required. Premium unlocks full coaching sessions, kitchen memory, and nutrition breakdowns.

Whether you're a weekend griller, a sourdough baker, a weeknight dinner warrior, or an aspiring chef — The Lab helps you get better at the thing you already love doing.

Start your first cook today.
