 AI 🔗 DataChain
 ----------------
 
-DataChain is an open-source Python library for processing and curating unstructured
-data at scale.
+DataChain is a data-frame library designed for AI-specific scenarios. It helps ML and
+AI engineers build a metadata layer on top of unstructured files and analyze data using
+this layer.
 
-🤖 AI-Driven Data Curation: Use local ML models or LLM APIs calls to enrich your data.
+📂 **Raw Files Processing**
+   Process raw files (images, video, text, PDFs) directly from storage (S3, GCP, Azure,
+   Local), version and update datasets.
 
-🚀 GenAI Dataset scale: Handle tens of millions of multimodal files.
+🌟 **Metadata layer.**
+   Build a metadata layer on top of files using structured sources like CSV, Parquet,
+   and JSON files.
 
-🐍 Python-friendly: Use strictly-typed `Pydantic`_ objects instead of JSON.
+⭐ **Metadata enrichment.**
+   Enhance the metadata layer with outputs from local ML model inferences and LLM calls.
 
+🛠️ **Data Transformation.**
+   Transform metadata using traditional methods like filtering, grouping, joining, and
+   others.
 
-Datachain supports parallel processing, parallel data
-downloads, and out-of-memory computing. It excels at optimizing offline batch operations.
-
-The typical use cases include Computer Vision data curation, LLM analytics,
-and validation of multimodal AI applications.
+🐍 **User-friendly interface.**
+   Operate efficiently with familiar Python objects and object fields, eliminating the
+   need for SQL.

+Data Structures
+===============
+
+DataChain introduces expressive data structures tailored for AI-specific workload:
+
+- **Dataset:** Preserves the file-references and meta-information. Takes care of Python
+  object serialization, dataset versioning and difference. Operations on dataset:
+
+  - **Transformations:** traditional data-frame or SQL operations such as filtering,
+    grouping, joining.
+  - **Enrichments:** mapping, aggregating and generating using customer’s Python
+    code. This is needed to work with ML inference and LLM calls.
+
+- **Chain** is a sequence of operations on datasets. Chain executes operations in lazy
+  mode - only when needed.
+
+DataChain name comes from these major data structures: dataset and chaining.
+
+
+What’s new in DataChain?
+========================
+
+The project combines multiple ideas from different areas in order to simplify AI
+use-cases and at the same time to fit it into traditional data infrastructure.
+
+- **Python-Native for AI.** Utilizes Python instead of SQL for data manipulation as the
+  native language for AI. It’s powered by `Pydantic`_ data models.
+- **Separation of CPU-GPU workloads.** Distinguishes CPU-heavy transformations (filter,
+  group_by, join) from GPU heavy enrichments (ML-inference or LLM calls). That’s mostly
+  needed for distributed computations.
+- **Resuming data processing** (in development). Introduces idempotent operations,
+  allowing data processing to resume from the last successful process file/record/batch
+  if it fails due to issues like failed LLM calls, ML inference or file download.
+
+Additional relatively new ideas:
+
+- **Functional style data processing.** Using a functional/chaining approach to data
+  processing rather than declarative SQL, inspired by R-dplyr and some Python libraries.
+- **Data Versioning.** Treats raw files in cloud storage as the source of truth for data
+  and implements data versioning, extending ideas from DVC (developed by the same team).
+
+
+What DataChain is NOT?
+======================
+
+- **Not a database** (Postgres, MySQL). Instead, it uses databases under the hood:
+  `SQLite`_ in open-source and ClickHouse and other data warehouses for the commercial
+  version.
+- **Not a data processing tool / data warehouse** (Spark, Snowflake, Big Query) since
+  it delegates heavy data transformations to underlying data warehouses and focuses on
+  AI specific data enrichments and orchestrating all the pieces together.
