+This Project Pythia Cookbook covers how to employ a simple AI model to predict hurricane intensity using IBTRACKS and ERA5 environmental variables.
 
 ## Motivation
 
-(Add a few sentences stating why this cookbook will be useful. What skills will you, "the chef", gain once you have reached the end of the cookbook?)
+Here, you will learn how to run a simple AI model to predict hurricane intensity. You will first preprocess ERA5 environmental variables associated with each Tropical Storm in the IBTRACKS dataset. Then, you will use this preprocessed data to create and train an AI model to predict future cyclone intensity. You will gain experience working primarily with xarray and ...
