+# izzilis gpt-2 bot
+
+Meant to be used with a finetuned GPT-2 model
+
+## Usage
+
+just run it, it'll make a `bot_config.json` file in the running path
+
+fill it out
+
+run again
+
+## Docker Usage
+
+The dockerfile makes a few assumptions which you must fulfill:
+
+* the gpt python files & model are in the gpt/ directory (this directory doesn't exist, please make it (it must contain both `generate_unconditional_samples.py` and the `models` directory containing your finetuned model))
+* you have ran the bot already. Once to generate a `bot_config.json` and a second time, once the aforementioned file is generated and filled out by the user, `fediverse.toml` from authenticating with the instance.
