+# Standalone LLM Tool
+
+## Overview
+The Standalone LLM Tool is designed to interact with a preview version of a Large Language Model (LLM) programmatically. This tool utilizes advanced reasoning and coding capabilities to generate responses based on user input prompts.
+
+## Setup
+1. **Environment Variables**: Ensure that the `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set in your environment to authenticate API requests.
+2. **Dependencies**: Make sure all dependencies are installed as per `requirements.txt`.
+
+## Usage
+Instead of using command-line prompts, this tool can now be integrated directly into your Python projects:
+
+### Function Usage
+- Import the tool and use the following utility function:
+  ```python
+  from standalone_llm_tool import get_llm_response
+
+  # Parameters: prompt (str), model (str, optional), max_tokens (int, optional)
+  response = get_llm_response("What is AI?", model="llm-preview", max_tokens=16384)
+
+  print(response)
+  ```
+
+## Features
+- **LLM Model**: Accepts a designated model parameter for flexible processing.
+- **Prompt Handling**: Accepts user input and provides comprehensive instructions or code snippets.
+- **Dynamic Parameters**: Allows customization of the model and max tokens per request.
+- **Advanced Reasoning**: Leverages the LLM's capabilities for enhanced reasoning and coding tasks.
+
+## Notes
+- The model and token parameters are dynamically handled, offering flexibility for various application needs.
+- This tool is ideal for generating detailed narratives or solving coding-related queries due to its advanced LLM capabilities.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+For any issues encountered while using the tool, consider the following:
+- Verify API key validity and quota.
+- Ensure your Python environment is correctly set up with necessary dependencies.
+- Refer to any console logs for specific error messages to aid in debugging.
