# Acopio — AI Meal Planner for Latin America

## Business Overview
Acopio (Spanish: ah-KOH-pyo, "stockpile") is an AI-powered meal planning and grocery cart builder designed for Latin American households. It lets users plan their week's meals through a conversational AI interface and automatically assembles a ready-to-checkout shopping cart on their preferred local grocery retailer. Acopio then hands the user a one-tap deep link into the retailer's own checkout — the payment happens on the trusted store platform, never through Acopio.

## Location & Service Area
- Headquartered in: Costa Rica (launching here first)
- Expanding to: all of Latin America (LATAM)
- Primary language: Spanish (ES), with English (EN) support
