 # Chat Application
 
-  This demo provides a simple recipe to help developers start building out their own custom LLM enabled chat applications. It consists of two main components; the Model Service and the AI Application.
+  This recipe helps developers start building their own custom LLM enabled chat applications. It consists of two main components: the Model Service and the AI Application.
 
   There are a few options today for local Model Serving, but this recipe will use [`llama-cpp-python`](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python) and their OpenAI compatible Model Service. There is a Containerfile provided that can be used to build this Model Service within the repo, [`model_servers/llamacpp_python/base/Containerfile`](/model_servers/llamacpp_python/base/Containerfile).
 
-  Our AI Application will connect to our Model Service via it's OpenAI compatible API. In this example we rely on [Langchain's](https://python.langchain.com/docs/get_started/introduction) python package to simplify communication with our Model Service and we use [Streamlit](https://streamlit.io/) for our UI layer. Below please see an example of the chatbot application.

-Podman desktop [AI Lab extension](https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop-extension-ai-lab) includes this application as a sample recipe.
-Choose `Recipes Catalog` -> `Chatbot` to launch from the AI Lab extension in podman desktop.
+The [Podman Desktop](https://podman-desktop.io) [AI Lab Extension](https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop-extension-ai-lab) includes this recipe among others. To try it out, open `Recipes Catalog` -> `Chatbot` and follow the instructions to start the application.
 
-There are also published images to try out this application as a local pod without the need to build anything yourself.
-Start a local pod by running the following from this directory:
+If you prefer building and running the application from terminal, please run the following commands from this directory.
 
+First, build application's meta data and run the generated Kubernetes YAML which will spin up a Pod along with a number of containers:
 ```
 make quadlet
 podman kube play build/chatbot.yaml
 ```
 
-To monitor this application running as a local pod, run:
-
+The Pod is named `chatbot`, so you may use [Podman](https://podman.io) to manage the Pod and its containers:
 ```
 podman pod list
 podman ps
 ```
 
-And, to stop the application:
-
+To stop and remove the Pod, run:
 ```
 podman pod stop chatbot
 podman pod rm chatbot
 ```
 
-After the pod is running, refer to the section below to [interact with the chatbot application](#interact-with-the-ai-application).
+Once the Pod is running, please refer to the section below to [interact with the chatbot application](#interact-with-the-ai-application).
