+# Ollama Python Library
+
+The Ollama Python library provides the easiest way to integrate your Python 3 project with [Ollama](https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama).
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Requires Python 3.8 or higher.
+
+```sh
+pip install ollama
+```
+
+```python
+from ollama import chat
+response = chat(model='llama2', messages=[{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Why is the sky blue?'}])
+```
+
+### Using the Synchronous Client
+
+```python
+from ollama import Client
+message = {'role': 'user', 'content': 'Why is the sky blue?'}
+Client().chat(model='llama2', messages=[message])
+```
+
+Response streaming can be enabled by setting `stream=True`. This modifies the function to return a Python generator where each part is an object in the stream.
+
+```python
+from ollama import Client
+message = {'role': 'user', 'content': 'Why is the sky blue?'}
+for part in Client().chat(model='llama2', messages=[message], stream=True):
+  print(part.get('message'), end='', flush=True)
+```
+
+### Using the Asynchronous Client
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+from ollama import AsyncClient
+
+async def chat():
+  message = {'role': 'user', 'content': 'Why is the sky blue?'}
+  await AsyncClient().chat(model='llama2', messages=[message])
+
+asyncio.run(chat())
+```
+
+Similar to the synchronous client, setting `stream=True` modifies the function to return a Python asynchronous generator.
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+from ollama import AsyncClient
+
+async def chat():
+  message = {'role': 'user', 'content': 'Why is the sky blue?'}
+  async for part in await AsyncClient().chat(model='llama2', messages=[message], stream=True):
+    print(part.get('message'), end='', flush=True)
+
+asyncio.run(chat())
+```
