Cookd

A year of your work, kept.

Cookd is your private work memory: keep a win when it happens — weekly, biweekly, whenever — and it compounds into review drafts, promotion cases, and resume bullets.

Live. Keeping the year by hand is free — unlimited wins, goals, and learning, with 10 AI generations a month. Pro ($9.99/mo or $99/yr) adds unlimited AI, PDF export, and your company's own rubric.

Private by defaultAI-assisted, never inventedWeekly, biweekly, wheneverEvidence over memory

The problem

Your impact is scattered across tasks, docs, and messages, and the small wins fade fast. When review season arrives, reconstructing six months of work from memory rarely does it justice.

The approach

Cookd is a private place to keep a win when it happens — weekly, biweekly, whenever — strengthen each one with AI grounded only in your own work, and turn a year of them into review drafts, promotion cases, and resume bullets when it counts.

Building Cookd / 01

You don't forget the work. You forget the evidence.

The night-before-review scramble feels like proof you didn't do enough. It isn't — it's a memory problem, not a competence one. Why keeping a record of your work beats reconstructing it under pressure.

Don't let the AI invent your metrics.

Paste your rough notes into an AI and it quietly hands back a metric you never measured. The one rule that keeps AI useful instead of dangerous for the writing you'll defend in a room: shape the wording, never invent the numbers.

The brag doc everyone recommends and nobody keeps.

Your brag doc didn't die because you're undisciplined. It died from friction, formlessness, and no reason to return. Why "journal daily" is the wrong fix — and the habit design that actually survives a busy month.

"Improved onboarding" is not a win. Here's the version that is.

"Improved onboarding" is a category, not an accomplishment. A repeatable recipe — situation, action, result, and one honest number — to rewrite vague bullets into evidence a calibration room can't ignore, plus what to do when you don't have a metric.
