 # AutoArena
 
-AutoArena helps you stack rank LLM outputs against one another using automated judge evaluation. Get started by:
+AutoArena helps you stack rank LLM outputs against one another using automated judge evaluation.
+
+Install from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/autoarena/) and run with:
 
 ```
 pip install autoarena
 python -m autoarena
 ```
 
-Data is stored in an `autoarena.duckdb` file in the directory where you invoked AutoArena.
+## Usage
+
+Getting started with AutoArena is simple:
+
+1. Run AutoArena via `python -m autoarena` and visit [localhost:8899](http://localhost:8899/) in your browser.
+2. Create a project via the UI.
+3. Add responses from a model by selecting a CSV file with `prompt` and `response` columns.
+4. Configure an automated judge via the UI. Note that most judges require credentials, e.g. `X_API_KEY` in the
+   environment where you're running AutoArena.
+5. Add responses from a second model to kick off an automated judging task using the judges you configured in the
+   previous step to decide which of the models you've uploaded provided a better `response` to a given `prompt`.
+
+That's it! After these steps you're fully set up for automated evaluation on AutoArena.
+
+### Data Storage
+
+Data is stored in `./data/<project>.duckdb` files in the directory where you invoked AutoArena. See
+[`data/README.md`](./data/README.md) for more details on data storage in AutoArena.
