+# Simple Chatbot
+
+<img src="image.png" width="420px">
+
+This app connects you to a chatbot powered by GPT-4, complete with animations generated by Stable Video Diffusion.
+
+See a video of it in action: https://x.com/kwindla/status/1778628911817183509
+
+And a quick video walkthrough of the code: https://www.loom.com/share/13df1967161f4d24ade054e7f8753416
+
+ℹ️ The first time, things might take extra time to get started since VAD (Voice Activity Detection) model needs to be downloaded.
+
+## Get started
+
+```python
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+cp env.example .env # and add your credentials
+
+```
+
+## Run the server
+
+```bash
+python server.py
+```
+
+Then, visit `http://localhost:7860/start` in your browser to start a chatbot session.
+
+## Build and test the Docker image
+
+```
+docker build -t chatbot .
+docker run --env-file .env -p 7860:7860 chatbot
+```

+# Simple Chatbot
+
+<img src="image.png" width="420px">
+
+This app connects you to a chatbot powered by GPT-4, complete with animations generated by Stable Video Diffusion.
+
+See a video of it in action: https://x.com/kwindla/status/1778628911817183509
+
+And a quick video walkthrough of the code: https://www.loom.com/share/13df1967161f4d24ade054e7f8753416
+
+ℹ️ The first time, things might take extra time to get started since VAD (Voice Activity Detection) model needs to be downloaded.
+
+## Get started
+
+```python
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+cp env.example .env # and add your credentials
+
+```
+
+## Run the server
+
+```bash
+python server.py
+```
+
+Then, visit `http://localhost:7860/start` in your browser to start a chatbot session.
+
+## Build and test the Docker image
+
+```
+docker build -t chatbot .
+docker run --env-file .env -p 7860:7860 chatbot
+```
