Description
The llmware repository contains a very rich and comprehensive README, but its length and density make it difficult for new users to quickly understand where to start and how different components fit together.

Observed Issues

  • README is extremely long and overwhelming for first-time users
  • Multiple sections overlap in purpose (Getting Started, Quick Start, Features, Examples)
  • Important links (examples, videos, docs, models) are scattered
  • Advanced content (benchmarks, release notes, white papers) dominates early onboarding
  • Installation and setup steps are buried deep within the document
  • Navigation becomes difficult despite the Table of Contents

Suggested Improvements

  • Add a “Start Here” / Beginner Path section at the top
  • Split README into clear tiers:
  1. Overview & Value Proposition
  2. Quick Start (minimal example)
  3. Core Concepts (RAG, Agents, Models)
  • Examples & Use Cases
  • Advanced Topics & Benchmarks
  • Move long sections (Release Notes, White Papers, Benchmarks) to:
  1. /docs or separate markdown files
  2. Add a short Architecture / How llmware works diagram or explanation
  • Highlight recommended setup paths (Laptop, Local CPU, Enterprise)
  • Improve markdown consistency and reduce visual clutter
  • Add badges (PyPI version, OS support, License, Discord)

Expected Outcome

  • A cleaner, more approachable README that:
  • Reduces onboarding friction
  • Helps users quickly find relevant examples
  • Makes llmware more accessible to developers new to RAG and Agents
  • Improves long-term maintainability of documentation

Additional Notes
I’d be happy to help refactor the README or submit a PR with a reorganized structure if that’s helpful.
