-Codeflash is an AI optimization tool that automatically improves the performance of your Python code while maintaining its correctness.
+[Codeflash](https://www.codeflash.ai) is a general purpose optimizer for Python that automatically improves the performance of your Python code while maintaining its correctness.
+It uses advanced LLMs to generate multiple optimization ideas for your code, tests them to be correct and benchmarks them for performance. It then creates merge-ready pull requests containing the best optimization found, which you can review and merge.

+How to use Codeflash -
+- Optimize an entire existing codebase by running `codeflash --all`
+- Automate optimizing all __future__ code you will write by installing Codeflash as a GitHub action.
+- Optimize a Python workflow end-to-end by tracing the workflow.
 
-## Features
+Codeflash is used by top engineering teams at [Pydantic](https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Amisrasaurabh1+is%3Amerged), [Langflow](https://github.com/langflow-ai/langflow/issues?q=state%3Aclosed%20is%3Apr%20author%3Amisrasaurabh1), [Albumentations](https://github.com/albumentations-team/albumentations/issues?q=state%3Amerged%20is%3Apr%20author%3Akrrt7%20OR%20state%3Amerged%20is%3Apr%20author%3Aaseembits93%20) and many others to ship performant, expert level code.
+
+Codeflash is great at optimizing AI Agents, Computer Vision algorithms, numerical code, backend code or anything else you might write with Python.
 
-- Automatically optimizes your code using AI
-- Maintains code correctness through extensive testing
-- Opens a pull request for each optimization
-- Continuously optimizes your codebase through CI
-- Dynamically optimizes your real workflows through tracing
 
 ## Installation
 
@@ -19,38 +31,44 @@ To install Codeflash, run:
 ```
 pip install codeflash
 ```
-
+Add codeflash as a development time dependency if you are using package managers like uv or poetry.
 ## Quick Start
 
-1. Configure Codeflash for your project:
-   ```
-   codeflash init
-   ```
 
-2. Optimize a function:
+1. To configure Codeflash for a project, at the root directory of your project where the pyproject.toml file is located, run:
    ```
-   codeflash --file path/to/your/file.py --function function_name
+   codeflash init
    ```
+   - It will ask you a few questions about your project like the location of your code and tests
+   - Ask you to generate an [API Key](https://app.codeflash.ai/app/apikeys) to access Codeflash's LLMs
+   - Install a [GitHub app](https://github.com/apps/codeflash-ai/installations/select_target) to open Pull Requests on GitHub.
+   - Ask if you want to setup a GitHub actions which will optimize all your future code.
+   - The codeflash config is then saved in the pyproject.toml file.
 
-3. Optimize your entire codebase:
+2. Optimize your entire codebase:
    ```
    codeflash --all
    ```
+   This can take a while to run for a large codebase, but it will keep opening PRs as it finds optimizations.
