+## Panda
+
+A terminal user interface for chatting with LLMs. 
+
+I started this project because I wanted something lightweight that I can run in my terminal to talk with LLMs.
+I could not keep up the project with my work and the everchanging landscape of LLMs and their capabilities. I also realized that the terminal is not the right interface for this kind of thing.
+
+However, I had to finish this and get a v0 out (have a bad habit of not being able to move on to a new side-project otherwise). Right now it can only talk to OpenAI's API (you need an OpenAI API Key) and is very basic in features.
+
+![Screenshot](docs/images/screenshot.png)
+
+### Usage
+
+Install with `go install github.com/aavshr/panda@latest` and run with `panda`. 
+
+Clone the repository and build with `make build` if you just want to build it yourself.
