+## Description
+
+Generative AI models have shown tremendous usefulness in increasing
+accessibility and automation of a wide range of tasks. Yet, their application to
+the biomedical domain is still limited, in part due to the lack of a common
+framework for deploying, testing, and evaluating the diverse models and
+auxiliary technologies that are needed.  This repository contains the
+`biochatter` Python package, a generic backend library for the connection of
+biomedical applications to conversational AI.  Described in [this
+preprint](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.06488) and used in
 [ChatGSE](https://chat.biocypher.org), which is being developed at
 https://github.com/biocypher/ChatGSE. More to come, so stay tuned!
