+## About Cognee
 
+Cognee is an open-source tool and platform that transforms your raw data into persistent and dynamic AI memory for Agents. It combines vector search with graph databases to make your documents both searchable by meaning and connected by relationships. 
 
-## Get Started
+You can use Cognee in two ways:

+## Quickstart
 
+Let’s try Cognee in just a few lines of code. For detailed setup and configuration, see the [Cognee Docs](https://docs.cognee.ai/getting-started/installation#environment-configuration).
 
-## Self-Hosted (Open Source)
+### Prerequisites
 
+- Python 3.10 to 3.13
 
-### 📦 Installation
+### Step 1: Install Cognee
 
-You can install Cognee using either **pip**, **poetry**, **uv** or any other python package manager..
+You can install Cognee with **pip**, **poetry**, **uv**, or your preferred Python package manager.
-
-Cognee supports Python 3.10 to 3.12
-
-#### With uv
 
 ```bash
 uv pip install cognee
 ```
 
-Detailed instructions can be found in our [docs](https://docs.cognee.ai/getting-started/installation#environment-configuration)
+### Step 2: Configure the LLM
-
+```python
-### 💻 Basic Usage
-
-#### Setup
-
-```
 import os
 os.environ["LLM_API_KEY"] = "YOUR OPENAI_API_KEY"
-
 ```
+Alternatively, create a `.env` file using our [template](https://github.com/topoteretes/cognee/blob/main/.env.template).
 
-You can also set the variables by creating .env file, using our <a href="https://github.com/topoteretes/cognee/blob/main/.env.template">template.</a>
+To integrate other LLM providers, see our [LLM Provider Documentation](https://docs.cognee.ai/setup-configuration/llm-providers).
-To use different LLM providers, for more info check out our <a href="https://docs.cognee.ai/setup-configuration/llm-providers">documentation</a>
 
+### Step 3: Run the Pipeline
 
-#### Simple example
+Cognee will take your documents, generate a knowledge graph from them and then query the graph based on combined relationships. 
 
-
+Now, run a minimal pipeline:

 cognee-cli add "Cognee turns documents into AI memory."
 
 cognee-cli cognify
