+AMMOS Instrument Toolkit (AIT) GUI
+==================================
+
+AIT GUI provides a framework for building a custom website for realtime
+telemetry monitoring, commanding, and other MOS operations with only
+minimal HTML and configuration file changes. Built on top of the AIT
+Core libraries, AIT GUI provides web-development friendly access to the
+underlying telemetry, commanding, EVR, system logging, and other AIT
+Core functions in addition to a suite of pre-built UI Components and a
+REST API to handle common MOS use cases.
+
+Getting Started
+---------------
+
+You can read through the `Installation
+Page <http://ait-gui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html>`__ for
+instruction on how to install AIT GUI.
+
+Contributing
+------------
+
+For information on how to contribute please see the `AIT GUI
+Contributors
+Guides <http://ait-gui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contribute.html>`__
+
+Browser Requirements
+--------------------
+
+AIT GUI requires one of the following browsers:
+
+-  Firefox version 52.0 or newer
+-  Chrome version 57.0 or newer
+
+Safari v10.1 or newer will likely work as well but compatibility is not
+regularly checked or guaranteed.
