Question 3

Why was CookFast created?

Accepted Answer

We built CookFast because we often had project ideas (like CookFast itself) and wanted to get started quickly, but planning would take considerable time. We needed a tool that could help us jumpstart projects with AI-powered documentation and planning, allowing us to focus more on implementation rather than initial documentation.

Question 4

Why is it called 'CookFast'?

Accepted Answer

The name 'CookFast' comes from the idea that it helps you 'cook up' (prepare) the basics of your idea quickly. Just as a chef prepares ingredients before cooking, CookFast helps prepare your project's foundation fast, so you can start building immediately.

Question 6
