+# Rowboat Python SDK
+
+A Python SDK for interacting with the Rowboat API.
+
+## Installation
+
+You can install the package using pip:
+
+```bash
+pip install rowboat
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+Initialize a client and create a chat session:
+
+```python
+from rowboat import Client, StatefulChat
+
+# Initialize the client
+client = Client(
+    host="<HOST>",
+    project_id="<PROJECT_ID>",
+    project_secret="<PROJECT_SECRET>"
+)
+
+# Create a chat session
+chat = StatefulChat(client)
+
+# Send a message and get a response
+response = chat.run("Hello, how are you?")
+print(response)
+```
+
+### Using Tools
+
+The SDK supports function calling through tools. Here's how to use them:
+
+```python
+def weather_lookup(city_name: str) -> str:
+    # Implement your weather lookup logic here
+    return f"The weather in {city_name} is 22°C."
+
+# Create a tools dictionary
+tools = {
+    'weather_lookup': weather_lookup
+}
+
+# Initialize chat with tools
+chat = StatefulChat(client, tools=tools)
+
+# The AI can now use the weather tool
+response = chat.run("What's the weather in London?")
+print(response)
+```
+
+### System Prompts
+
+You can initialize the chat with a system prompt to guide the AI's behavior:
+
+```python
+chat = StatefulChat(
+    client,
+    tools=tools,
+    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant who specializes in weather information."
+)
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### Client
+
+The `Client` class handles communication with the Rowboat API.
+
+```python
+Client(host: str, project_id: str, project_secret: str)
+```
+
+### StatefulChat
+
+The `StatefulChat` class maintains conversation state across multiple turns.
+
+```python
+StatefulChat(
+    client: Client,
+    tools: Optional[Dict[str, Callable[..., str]]] = None,
+    system_prompt: Optional[str] = None
+)
+```
