+# Quick Start Guide
+
+This guide will help you get up and running with the AI-Time-Machines ChatGPT integration in just a few minutes.
+
+## Step 1: Prerequisites
+
+Ensure you have:
+- Node.js 18.0.0 or higher installed
+- npm (comes with Node.js)
+- An OpenAI account
+
+## Step 2: Installation
+
+Clone and set up the repository:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/lippytm/AI-Time-Machines.git
+cd AI-Time-Machines
+npm install
+```
+
+## Step 3: Get Your OpenAI API Key
+
+1. Go to [https://platform.openai.com/](https://platform.openai.com/)
+2. Sign in or create an account
+3. Navigate to API Keys: [https://platform.openai.com/api-keys](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys)
+4. Click "Create new secret key"
+5. Copy the key (you won't see it again!)
+
+## Step 4: Configure Your Environment
+
+```bash
+# Copy the example environment file
+cp .env.example .env
+
+# Edit .env and add your API key
+# OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-actual-key-here
+```
+
+## Step 5: Test Your Setup
+
+Run the examples to verify everything works:
+
+```bash
+npm start
+```
+
+You should see output from three different ChatGPT interactions!
+
+## Step 6: Start Building
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```javascript
+const { ChatGPT } = require('./src/index');
+
+const chatgpt = new ChatGPT();
+const response = await chatgpt.chat('Hello, ChatGPT!');
+console.log(response);
+```
+
+### Run More Examples
+
+```bash
+node examples.js
+```
+
+This runs 5 different examples showing various features.
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### Error: "OpenAI API key is required"
+
+- Make sure your `.env` file exists in the project root
+- Check that `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set correctly in `.env`
+- Ensure there are no extra spaces or quotes around the key
+
+### Error: "Module not found"
+
+Run `npm install` to install all dependencies.
+
+### Rate Limit Errors
+
+- Free tier has rate limits
+- Consider upgrading your OpenAI plan
+- Add delays between requests if needed
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Read the full [README.md](README.md) for detailed documentation
+- Review [examples.js](examples.js) for usage patterns
+- Check out the [OpenAI API docs](https://platform.openai.com/docs) for advanced features
+
+## Security Reminders
+
+⚠️ **Never commit your `.env` file to version control!**
+
+- `.env` is already in `.gitignore`
+- Use `.env.example` as a template
+- Keep your API key secure
+- Rotate keys if they're exposed
