-## Overview
+## 🧊 TL;DR: OLake UI — Simplify Data Replication
 
-Olake-UI is built on top of Olake CLI to execute commands via UI.
+> **OLake UI** is an intuitive web interface for managing data replication from databases like **PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Oracle, and Kafka** to **Apache Iceberg** and **Amazon S3**. Built on top of the powerful OLake CLI, it offers a self-serve experience to configure, monitor, and schedule jobs in minutes.

-### Troubleshooting
 
-- If there are any file permission error, ensure the host persistence/config directory is writable by Docker.
-- For complete logs, use:
-  ```bash
-  docker-compose logs -f
-  ```
-- For logs specific to a service, use:
-  ```bash
-  docker compose logs -f <service_name>

+### 🛠️ Creating Your First Job
+1. Navigate to Jobs: Open the Jobs tab in the UI.
+2. Configure Source: Add a source (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) with connection details.
+3. Configure Destination: Set up Apache Iceberg or Parquet with your preferred catalog (e.g., Glue, Hive).
+4. Select Streams: Choose tables to sync and set the mode (Full Refresh or CDC).
+5. Run Job: Name your job, set a schedule, and click Create Job.
+
+### 🛠️ Troubleshooting
+
+* UI not loading? Ensure port 8000 is free and Docker is running.
+* Permission errors? Verify the host persistence directory is writable.
+* Authentication issues? Check default credentials or custom settings in docker-compose.yml.
+* View logs:
+
+```bash
+docker compose logs -f
+```
