+# Open WebUI Assistant
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Please note that the current version of Open WebUI Assistant is compatible only with macOS systems. Support for other operating systems will be added in future releases.
+
+Open WebUI Assistant is a companion app that allows you to insert text generated by your Open WebUI instance anywhere on your computer using keyboard shortcuts, and offers a user interface for setting up the server URL and JWT token. The two primary keyboard shortcuts are:
+
+1. **Cmd+Option+i**: Use this shortcut when the text input field is active to request text completion from Open WebUI Assistant.
+2. **Cmd+Option+o**: This command uses the normal chat API endpoint for interaction with your Open WebUI instance, not opening a separate chat window.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before installing Open WebUI Assistant, make sure you have `make`, `node`, and `npm` installed on your system.
+
+If you don't have `make` or `node` installed, install them using your system package manager or refer to the [official documentation](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/download.html) and [Node.js download page](https://nodejs.org/en/download).
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Clone Open WebUI Assistant's GitHub repository:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/open-webui/assistant.git
+   cd assistant
+   ```
+
+2. Run `make` to prepare the build environment:
+   ```bash
+   make
+   ```
+
+3. Install Open WebUI Assistant using the following command:
+   ```bash
+   make install
+   ```
+   
+4. Configure Open WebUI Assistant:
+   - After installation, find and run the Open WebUI Assistant companion app located in your user's `~/Applications` directory.
+   - In the settings window, enter your Open WebUI server URL and the JWT token you can get from **Settings > Account** in the WebUI. The companion app's UI is just a setting interface for these two values.
+
+5. Use Open WebUI Assistant:
+   - After configuring Open WebUI Assistant, use the keyboard shortcuts **Cmd+Option+i** to request text completion or **Cmd+Option+o** for interaction with your Open WebUI instance using the normal chat API endpoint.
