+## Chat
 
-![Demo](https://tabby.tabbyml.com/img/demo.gif)
+Tabby can answer general coding questions and specific questions about your codebase with its chat functionality. Here are a few ways to utilize it:
+
+- Start a session in the chat view from the activity bar.
+- Select some code and use commands such as `Tabby: Explain This` to ask questions about your selection.
+- Request code edits directly by using the `Tabby: Edit...` command (shortcut: `Ctrl/Cmd+I`).
 
 ## Getting Started
 
-Once you have installed the Tabby VSCode extension, you can easily get started by following the built-in walkthrough guides. You can access the walkthrough page at any time by using the command `Tabby: Getting Started`.
+1. **Setup Tabby Server**: Set up your self-hosted Tabby server and create your account following [this guide](https://tabby.tabbyml.com/docs/installation).
+2. **Connect to Server**: Use the `Tabby: Connect to Server...` command in the command palette and input your Tabby server's endpoint URL and account token. Alternatively, use the [Config File](https://tabby.tabbyml.com/docs/extensions/configurations) for cross-IDE settings.
 
-1. **Setup the Tabby server**: You can build your own self-hosted Tabby server following [this guide](https://tabby.tabbyml.com/docs/installation).
-2. **Connect the extension to your Tabby server**: Use the command `Tabby: Specify API Endpoint of Tabby` to connect the extension to your Tabby server.
-   - **Note**: If your Tabby server requires an authentication token, a notification will be displayed, and you can set the token by following the prompt. Alternatively, you can set it in the [config file](https://tabby.tabbyml.com/docs/extensions/configurations).
+That's it! You can now start using Tabby in VSCode. Use the `Tabby: Quick Start` command for a detailed interactive walkthrough.
 
-Once the setup is complete, Tabby will automatically provide inline suggestions. You can accept the suggestions by simply pressing the `Tab` key.
+## Additional Resources
 
-If you prefer to trigger code completion manually, you can select the manual trigger option in the settings. After that, use the shortcut `Alt + \` to trigger code completion. To access the settings page, use the command `Tabby: Open Settings`.
