+# 🤖 LLMates – Chat with Custom AI Personas
+
+LLMates is a minimalist, persona-driven chatbot interface built using **Gradio** and **OpenAI's GPT-3.5**.
+It lets you switch between assistant "personalities" like a **Python Tutor**, **Regex Helper**, or **Startup Coach**, all powered by curated prompt templates.
+
+## 🌟 Features
+- Predefined assistant personas (via prompt injection)
+- Seamless Gradio chat interface with session memory
+- Easy to extend with new roles or APIs
+- Clean and modular code
+
+## 🔧 Stack
+- Gradio UI
+- OpenAI Chat API (GPT-4.1)
+- Python + dotenv
+
+## 📦 Coming Soon
+- Deploy on Hugging Face Spaces
+- Add real-time persona switching
+- Save/export chat sessions
