-This is a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org) project bootstrapped with [`create-next-app`](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/cli/create-next-app).
+# Vercel AI + Zep Integration Guide
 
-## Getting Started
+This guide demonstrates how to integrate Zep with the Vercel AI SDK to build an intelligent chatbot with memory capabilities.
+We'll walk through setting up a Next.js project that uses Zep to store conversation history and contextual data about users.
 
-First, run the development server:
+The guide is available [here](https://help.getzep.com/docs/ecosystem/vercel-ai).
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Create a `.env.local` file in your project root with your API keys:
+
+```text
+OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-openai-key>
+ZEP_API_KEY=<your-zep-key>
+```
+
+2. Seed initial data:
+
+```bash
+pnpm seed
+```
+
+After running the seed script, you should see output similar to:
+
+```text
+🤖 Seeding Zep with initial data...
+Adding user:
+ userID:  Emily163733bf-8ffc-4824-9613-9d1f7a86457e
+ email:  [email protected]
+ firstName:  Emily
+ lastName:  Painter
+Adding session:  2a36ba9a-1fd9-4b59-8832-18f5d0eb5140
+Adding chat history...
+Adding transactions...
+Adding account status info...
+Adding support cases...
+✅ Seeding complete! Please wait a few minutes for all data to be ingested into the knowledge graph.
+```
+
+Note: Save the `userID` from the output as you'll need it for the chat interface.
+
+## Running the app
+
+To start the development server:
 
 ```bash
-npm run dev
-# or
-yarn dev
-# or
 pnpm dev
-# or
-bun dev
 ```
 
-Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.
+Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the chat interface.
 
-You can start editing the page by modifying `app/page.tsx`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
+## Project Structure
 
-This project uses [`next/font`](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/optimizing/fonts) to automatically optimize and load [Geist](https://vercel.com/font), a new font family for Vercel.
+The main components of this project are:
