+## 📢 cuDF can now be used as a no-code-change accelerator for pandas! To learn more, see [here](https://rapids.ai/cudf-pandas/)!

+cuDF is a GPU DataFrame library for loading joining, aggregating,
+filtering, and otherwise manipulating data. cuDF leverages
+[libcudf](https://docs.rapids.ai/api/libcudf/stable/), a
+blazing-fast C++/CUDA dataframe library and the [Apache
+Arrow](https://arrow.apache.org/) columnar format to provide a
+GPU-accelerated pandas API.

+You can import `cudf` directly and use it like `pandas`:
 
-## Overview
+```python
+import cudf
+import requests
+from io import StringIO
 
-Built based on the [Apache Arrow](http://arrow.apache.org/) columnar memory format, cuDF is a GPU DataFrame library for loading, joining, aggregating, filtering, and otherwise manipulating data.
+url = "https://github.com/plotly/datasets/raw/master/tips.csv"
+content = requests.get(url).content.decode('utf-8')
 
-cuDF provides a pandas-like API that will be familiar to data engineers & data scientists, so they can use it to easily accelerate their workflows without going into the details of CUDA programming.
+tips_df = cudf.read_csv(StringIO(content))
+tips_df["tip_percentage"] = tips_df["tip"] / tips_df["total_bill"] * 100
+
+# display average tip by dining party size
+print(tips_df.groupby("size").tip_percentage.mean())
+```
+
+Or, you can use cuDF as a no code change accelerator for pandas, using
+[`cudf.pandas`](https://docs.rapids.ai/api/cudf/stable/cudf_pandas).
+`cudf.pandas` supports 100% of the pandas API, utilizing cuDF for
+supported operations and falling back to pandas when needed:
 
-For example, the following snippet downloads a CSV, then uses the GPU to parse it into rows and columns and run calculations:
 ```python
-import cudf, requests
+%load_ext cudf.pandas  # pandas operations now use the GPU!
+
+import pandas as pd
+import requests
 from io import StringIO
 
 url = "https://github.com/plotly/datasets/raw/master/tips.csv"
 content = requests.get(url).content.decode('utf-8')
 
-tips_df = cudf.read_csv(StringIO(content))
-tips_df['tip_percentage'] = tips_df['tip'] / tips_df['total_bill'] * 100
+tips_df = pd.read_csv(StringIO(content))
+tips_df["tip_percentage"] = tips_df["tip"] / tips_df["total_bill"] * 100
 
 # display average tip by dining party size
-print(tips_df.groupby('size').tip_percentage.mean())
+print(tips_df.groupby("size").tip_percentage.mean())
 ```
 
-Output:
 ```
