+## Installation
 
-### Prerequisites
+To get started with Aether, follow these simple steps:
 
-To run the Aether, you need the following tools:
-
-- **Docker**: Ensures easy deployment and cross-platform compatibility. Follow the official Docker installation guide [here](https://www.docker.com/get-started).
-- **OpenAI API Key**: Required for GPT model integration. Sign up on [OpenAI](https://beta.openai.com/signup/) to obtain an API key.
-
-### Running with Docker
+1. **Clone the Repository**:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/akoip/Aether.git
+   cd Aether
+   ```
 
-Follow these steps to get the Aether running inside a Docker container:
+2. **Set Up Environment**:
+   Ensure you have Python 3.6 or higher installed. Create a virtual environment and activate it:
+   ```bash
+   python -m venv venv
+   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`
+   ```
 
-1. **Clone or Download the Repository**:
-   Clone the repository or download the latest release from the GitHub page:
+3. **Install Dependencies**:
+   Install the required packages using pip:
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
 
+4. **Run Aether**:
+   Start the application with the following command:
    ```bash
-   git clone https://github.com/n03stalg1a/aether.git
-   cd aether
+   python main.py
    ```
 
-2. **Build the Docker Image**:
-   Use the following command to build the Docker image:
+For Docker users, you can build and run Aether easily:
 
+1. **Build the Docker Image**:
    ```bash
    docker build -t aether .
    ```
 
-3. **Run the Docker Container**:
-   After building the image, run the container in detached mode to start the assistant in the background:
-
+2. **Run the Docker Container**:
    ```bash
-   docker run -d --name aether aether
+   docker run -d -p 5000:5000 aether
    ```
 
-4. **Interact with the Assistant**:
-   Once the container is running, you can interact with the assistant using your microphone. It will process voice commands, run actions, and provide responses.
-
-   - Ensure that your local microphone and speakers are connected for real-time interaction.
-
-### Configuration
-
-#### Environment Variables
+## Usage
 
-Set the following environment variables before running the assistant:
+Once Aether is up and running, you can start interacting with it. Here are some commands you can try:
 
-- **OPENAI_API_KEY**: The API key required for OpenAI GPT model access.
+- **Open Applications**: "Aether, open my email."
+- **Write Code**: "Aether, write a Python function to calculate Fibonacci numbers."
+- **Engage in Conversations**: "Aether, tell me about the latest tech trends."
 
-```bash
-export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
-```
+Aether continuously learns from interactions, improving its understanding over time.
 
-For security, it's recommended to set this key as an environment variable instead of hardcoding it in the code.
