 ## 📖 Chidori V2
-Chidori is an open-source environment for building AI agents.
+Chidori is an open-source orchestrator, runtime, and IDE for building software in symbiosis with modern AI tools.
+It is especially catered towards building AI agents by providing solutions to the following problems:
+
+- How do we understand what an agent is doing and how it got into a given state?
+- How can we pause execution and then resume after human review?
+- Handling the accidental complexity of state-space exploration
+
 You author code with python or javascript, and we provide a layer for interfacing
-with the complexities of AI models in long-running workflows.
+with the complexities of AI models in long-running workflows. We have avoided the need for declaring a new language 
+or SDK in order to provide these capabilities, you can leverage software patterns you're already familiar with.
 
-We are continuing to make significant changes in response to feedback and iterating on different features.
-Feedback is greatly appreciated! Please add to our issue tracker.
+Features:
 
-- Built from the ground up for constructing agents
-- Runtime written in Rust supporting Python and JavaScript
+- Runtime written in Rust, supporting Python and JavaScript code execution
 - Cache behaviors and resume from partially executed agents
-- Optimized for long-running AI workflows
-- Embedded code interpreter
-- Time travel debugging
-- Create and navigate tree-searching workflows
+- Time travel debugging, revert to prior states of execution
+- Visual debugging environment, visualize and manipulate the graph of states your code has executed through.
+- Create and navigate tree-searching code execution workflows
 
-I want to demonstrate a workflow where entirely arbitrary code can be used to build useful agents.
-Users should be able to leverage the entire surface areas of the langauges agents are defined within. My aspiration
-is that Chidori can be the best way to build agentic software.

+### Setting Up The Runtime Environment
 Chidori's interactions with LLMs default to http://localhost:4000 to hook into LiteLLM's proxy.
 If you'd like to leverage gpt-3.5-turbo the included config file will support that.
+You will need to install `pip install litellm[proxy]` in order to run the below:
 ```bash
