+## What is TavernAI?
+
+TavernAI is a user interface you can install on your computer (and Android phones) that allows you to interact text generation AIs and chat/roleplay with characters you or the community create.
+
+## What do I need other than Tavern?
+
+On its own Tavern is useless, as it's just a user interface. You have to have access to an AI system backend that can act as the roleplay character. There are various supported backends: OpenAPI API (GPT), KoboldAI (either running locally or on Google Colab), and more.
+
+## Do I need a powerful PC to run Tavern?
+Since Tavern is only a user interface, it has tiny hardware requirements, it will run on a rusty toaster. It's the AI system backend that needs to be powerful.

 ## Mobile support
