 # Template: Python - Assistant AI Chat
 
-This template leverages the new Python open-source structure [robo](https://github.com/robocorp/robo), the [libraries](https://github.com/robocorp/robo#libraries) from to same project as well.
-The full power of [rpaframework](https://github.com/robocorp/rpaframework) is also available for you on Python as a backup while we implement new Python libraries.
+This template leverages the new [Python framework](https://github.com/robocorp/robocorp), the [libraries](https://github.com/robocorp/robocorp/blob/master/docs/README.md#python-libraries) from to same project as well.
 
 The template provides you with the basic structure of an Assistant project: a chat interface that allows the user to communicate with a GPT model. The environment contains the most used libraries, so you do not have to start thinking about those right away.
 
+The template shows you how to use Robocorp Vault for your secrets and how to create robots that interact with humans and AI models, in this case OpenAI's GPT.
+
+## Requirements
+
 To get the Assistant running, you will need an Open AI API key in the Control Room Vault.
 Firstly, follow the [Open AI documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/quickstart/build-your-application) to generate an API key and copy it's value.
 Then go to Control Room and create a new Vault Secret as desribed in [Our Guide](https://robocorp.com/docs/development-guide/variables-and-secrets/vault).
 The Secret name will be `openai` and the key will be `key`.
 
-👉 After running the bot, check out the `log.html` under the `output` -folder.

+👉 Other templates are available as well via our tooling and on our [Portal](https://robocorp.com/portal/tag/template)
+
+## Running
+
+#### VS Code
+1. Get [Robocorp Code](https://robocorp.com/docs/developer-tools/visual-studio-code/extension-features) -extension for VS Code.
+1. You'll get an easy-to-use side panel and powerful command-palette commands for running, debugging, code completion, docs, etc.
+
+#### Command line
+
+1. [Get RCC](https://github.com/robocorp/rcc?tab=readme-ov-file#getting-started)
+1. Use the command: `rcc run`
+
+## Results
+
+🚀 After running the bot, check out the `log.html` under the `output` -folder.
 
-Do note that with Robocorp tooling you:
-- Do NOT need Python installed
-- Should NOT be writing `pip install..`; the [conda.yaml](https://github.com/robocorp/template-python/blob/master/conda.yaml) is here for a reason.
-- You do not need to worry about Python's main -functions and, most importantly, the logging setup
+## Dependencies
+
+We strongly recommend getting familiar with adding your dependencies in [conda.yaml](conda.yaml) to control your Python dependencies and the whole Python environment for your automation.
+
+<details>
+  <summary>🙋‍♂️ "Why not just pip install...?"</summary>
+
+Think of [conda.yaml](conda.yaml) as an equivalent of the requirements.txt, but much better. 👩‍💻 With `conda.yaml`, you are not just controlling your PyPI dependencies; you control the complete Python environment, which makes things repeatable and easy.
+
+👉 You will probably need to run your code on another machine quite soon, so by using `conda.yaml`:
+- You can avoid `Works on my machine` -cases
+- You do not need to manage Python installations on all the machines
+- You can control exactly which version of Python your automation will run on 
+  - You'll also control the pip version to avoid dep. resolution changes
+- No need for venv, pyenv, ... tooling and knowledge sharing inside your team.
+- Define dependencies in conda.yaml, let our tooling do the heavy lifting.
+- You get all the content of [conda-forge](https://prefix.dev/channels/conda-forge) without any extra tooling
+
+> Dive deeper with [these](https://github.com/robocorp/rcc/blob/master/docs/recipes.md#what-is-in-condayaml) resources.
+
+</details>
+<br/>
+
+> The full power of [rpaframework](https://robocorp.com/docs/python/rpa-framework) -libraries is also available on Python as a backup while we implement the new Python libraries.
+
+## What now?
 
 🚀 Now, go get'em
 
+Start writing Python and remember that the AI/LLM's out there are getting really good and creating Python code specifically.
