 Introduction into OpenDFT
-#########################
\ No newline at end of file
+#########################
+
+OpenDFT is a free and open source software that brings cutting edge solid state research to the people. It is a graphical program that
+interacts with various scientific terminal based solid state software packages. It visualizes inputs, such as the crystal structure and
+outputs, such as band structures and optical spectra and can start and control calculations, which are done by the respective scientific
+solid state package. OpenDFT is designed to be DFT engine agnostic so that you can easily switch between different scientific codes and
+compare results seamlessly.
