+## Kaizen Bot
+
+A chat front end for your board, with AI teammates for every division. Ask **Chief** what's
+waiting on you, what's running, and what a plan or review says. Hand Sales Outbound,
+Marketing, Customer Service or Account Manager their team's asks, and they turn them into board ideas
+and runs. The board still does the real work: plan, approval, build, review.
+
+- **Nothing happens behind your back.** An agent may read the board, add an idea or a note, remember a fact and draft a message. Starting a run, approving a plan or fixing findings waits on a card until you click Approve. It never turns on Yolo and never commits.
+- **Nothing is ever sent.** Emails, posts and replies are drafts: approve one, then copy it or export them all as Markdown.
+- **Teammates and routines.** One agent can ask another, and any agent can run a task on a schedule: *every weekday at 7, brief me on the board*.

+Kaizen Bot lives in the repo's `bot/` folder, not the npm package. With the board running (`kaizen web`):
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/hfadhlullah/kaizen && cd kaizen/bot
+cp .env.example .env      # set PROVIDER, MODEL and that provider's key
+bun start                 # http://127.0.0.1:7430
+```
+
+### Download the app
+
+Kaizen Bot also comes as a desktop app, with no Bun or repo needed. Download yours from the
+[latest release](https://github.com/hfadhlullah/kaizen/releases/latest):
+
+| OS | File | Install |
+|---|---|---|
+| macOS | `Kaizen-Bot-macos-arm64.dmg` (Apple Silicon), `Kaizen-Bot-macos-x64.dmg` (Intel) | Open it, drag Kaizen Bot to Applications |
+| Windows | `Kaizen-Bot-windows-x64.exe` | Open it; it installs itself to the Start menu |
+| Linux | `kaizen-bot-linux-x64`, `kaizen-bot-linux-arm64` | `chmod +x`, then run it |
+
+The first time, it creates `~/.kaizen-bot/.env` for your provider and key. After that it
+starts the board if `kaizen` is installed, and opens the chat in its own window; quit it from
+Settings. The app is unsigned, so macOS and Windows warn on first open. How to get past that,
+and how to uninstall, is in
+[Download the app](https://github.com/hfadhlullah/kaizen/blob/main/bot/README.md#download-the-app).
+
+Anthropic, OpenAI and Requesty are supported. Setup, privacy and settings are in the [Kaizen Bot README](https://github.com/hfadhlullah/kaizen/blob/main/bot/README.md).
