+If You're New
+Welcome to PrivateGPT! If you're new to working with AI or handling code projects, this section is designed to help you get started with PrivateGPT by walking you through some fundamental concepts and initial setup steps. Our aim is to make your journey into AI as straightforward and enjoyable as possible.

+Whether you're developing for healthcare, legal, or any other data-sensitive domain, PrivateGPT offers you complete control over your data. This is crucial for industries where privacy is a top priority.
+
+
+Getting Started
+System Requirements:
+Ensure you have a basic setup that includes Python 3.8 or newer.
+A simple text editor, like VSCode or Atom, to write and edit your code.
+Installation:
+Clone the repository:
+bash
+git clone https://github.com/zylon-ai/private-gpt.git
+cd private-gpt
