+
+## ✨ What is this?
+
+**Codex Agent Runner** is a beautiful chat interface that lets you talk to AI — completely privately, right on your own computer. No API keys, no subscriptions, no data sent to the cloud.
+
+Just you and your AI, having a conversation.
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Get Started in 3 Steps
+
+### Step 1 — Install Ollama (free, takes 1 minute)
+
+👉 **[Download Ollama at ollama.ai](https://ollama.ai)**
+
+Ollama is a free tool that runs AI models on your computer. It works on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
+
+### Step 2 — Pull a model
+
+After installing Ollama, open your Terminal (Mac/Linux) or Command Prompt (Windows) and run:
+
+```
+ollama pull llama3
+```
+
+That's the only command you'll ever need.
+
+### Step 3 — Open the chat
+
+👉 **[Open Codex Agent Runner](https://codex-agent-runner.pages.dev)**
+
+The page will automatically detect your local Ollama and you're ready to chat!
+
+---
+
+## 💬 How to Chat
+
+Just type naturally! You can also address specific AI personas:
+
+| Type this… | What happens |
+|---|---|
+| `Hello, how are you?` | Chat directly with the AI |
+| `@ollama explain black holes` | Talk to Ollama |
+| `@copilot write me a Python function` | Talk to Copilot persona |
+| `@lucidia tell me a story` | Talk to Lucidia persona |
+| `@blackboxprogramming` | Talk to the BlackRoad AI |
+
+All of these talk to your **local** Ollama — nothing is sent to any external server.
+
+---
+
+## 🔒 Your Privacy, Guaranteed
+
+- ✅ **Fully offline** — your conversations never leave your machine
+- ✅ **No account needed** — zero sign-up, zero tracking
+- ✅ **Free forever** — no subscriptions or API costs
+- ✅ **Open source** — see exactly what runs on your machine
