 ## About
 
-llm.rb is a lightweight library that provides a common interface
-and set of functionality for multiple Large Language Models (LLMs). It
-is designed to be simple, flexible, and easy to use – and it has been
-implemented with zero dependencies outside Ruby's standard library. See the
-[philosophy](#philosophy) section for more information on the design principles
-behind llm.rb.
+llm.rb is a zero-dependency Ruby toolkit for Large Language Models like
+OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, and more. It’s fast, clean, and composable –
+with full support for chat, tool calling, audio, images, files, and
+JSON Schema generation.
+
+## Features
+
+#### General
+- ✅ Unified interface for OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, Ollama, and more
+- 📦 Zero dependencies outside Ruby's standard library
+- 🔌 Model introspection and selection
+- 🚀 Optimized for performance and low memory usage
+
+#### Chat, Agents
+- 🧠 Stateless and stateful chat via completions and responses API
+- 🤖 Tool calling and function execution
+- 🗂️ JSON Schema support for structured, validated responses
+
+#### Media
+- 🗣️ Text-to-speech, transcription, and translation
+- 🖼️ Image generation, editing, and variation support
+- 📎 File uploads and prompt-aware file interaction
+- 💡 Multimodal prompts (text, URLs, files)
+
+#### Embeddings
+- 🧮 Text embeddings and vector support

+### Tools
+
+#### Functions
+
+The OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and Ollama providers support a powerful feature known as
+tool calling, and although it is a little complex to understand at first,
+it can be powerful for building agents. The following example demonstrates how we
+can define a local function (which happens to be a tool), and OpenAI can
+then detect when we should call the function.
+
+The
+[LLM::Chat#functions](https://0x1eef.github.io/x/llm.rb/LLM/Chat.html#functions-instance_method)
+method returns an array of functions that can be called after sending a message and
+it will only be populated if the LLM detects a function should be called. Each function
+corresponds to an element in the "tools" array. The array is emptied after a function call,
+and potentially repopulated on the next message.
+
+The following example defines an agent that can run system commands based on natural language,
+and it is only intended to be a fun demo of tool calling - it is not recommended to run
+arbitrary commands from a LLM without sanitizing the input first :) Without further ado:
+
+```ruby
+#!/usr/bin/env ruby
+require "llm"
+
+llm = LLM.openai(ENV["KEY"])
+tool = LLM.function(:system) do |fn|
+  fn.description "Run a shell command"
+  fn.params do |schema|
+    schema.object(command: schema.string.required)
+  end
+  fn.define do |params|
+    system(params.command)
+  end
+end
+
+bot = LLM::Chat.new(llm, tools: [tool]).lazy
+bot.chat "Your task is to run shell commands via a tool.", :system
+
+bot.chat "What is the current date?", :user
+bot.chat bot.functions.map(&:call) # report return value to the LLM
+
+bot.chat "What operating system am I running? (short version please!)", :user
+bot.chat bot.functions.map(&:call) # report return value to the LLM

+llm.rb provides a clean, dependency-free interface to Large Language Models,
+treating Ruby itself — not Rails or any specific framework — as the primary platform.
+It avoids hidden magic, complex metaprogramming, and heavy DSLs. It is intentionally
+simple and won't compromise on being a simple library, even if that means saying no to
+certain features.
+
+Instead, it embraces a general-purpose, object-oriented design that prioritizes
+explicitness, composability, and clarity. Code should be easy to follow, test, and adapt.
+For that reason we favor small, cooperating objects over deeply nested blocks — a pattern
+that often emerges in DSL-heavy libraries.
+
+Each part of llm.rb is designed to be conscious of memory, ready for production, and free
+from global state or non-standard dependencies. While inspired by ideas from other ecosystems
+(especially Python) it is not a port of any other library — it is a Ruby library written
+by Rubyists who value borrowing good ideas from other languages and ecosystems.
