+## Quickstart
+
+### Setup
+
+1. Set up a venv
+
+2. Install packages
+
+pip install "pipecat-ai[webrtc,deepgram,openai,cartesia,silero]" \
+ "pipecat-ai-small-webrtc-prebuilt" \
+ "python-dotenv"
+
+3. Configure environment variables
+
+Create a `.env` file:
+
+```bash
+cp env.example .env
+```
+
+Then, add your API keys:
+
+```
+DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=your_deepgram_api_key
+OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
+CARTESIA_API_KEY=your_cartesia_api_key
+```
+
+4. Run the example
+
+```bash
+python bot.py
+```
