+# 🔍 Multimodal AI Search Engine
+
+A sophisticated image search engine that enables both text-to-image and image-to-image similarity search using state-of-the-art deep learning models.
+
+## 🌟 Features
+
+- **🔤 Text-to-Image Search**: Find images using natural language descriptions
+- **🖼️ Image-to-Image Search**: Upload an image to find visually similar ones  
+- **⚡ Fast Search**: Sub-second query response times using FAISS indexing
+- **🎯 High Accuracy**: Powered by OpenAI's CLIP-ViT-B-32 model
+- **🎨 Modern UI**: Clean, responsive Gradio interface
+
+## 🚀 How It Works
+
+1. **First Visit**: The app automatically downloads 500 images from Caltech101 dataset
+2. **Embedding Generation**: Creates CLIP embeddings for all images using ViT-B-32 model
+3. **Index Building**: Builds FAISS index for fast similarity search
+4. **Ready to Search**: Use text descriptions or upload images to find similar content
+
+## 🔧 Technology Stack
+
+- **CLIP-ViT-B-32**: OpenAI's vision-language model
+- **FAISS**: Facebook's similarity search library
+- **Gradio**: Interactive web interface
+- **Caltech101**: 500 diverse images across 101 categories
+
+## 📊 Dataset
+
+- **Source**: Caltech101 via HuggingFace
+- **Size**: 500 randomly sampled images
+- **Categories**: 101 different object classes
+- **Auto-Setup**: Downloads and processes on first run
+
+## 💡 Usage Tips
+
+- **Text Search**: Use descriptive phrases like "red car on road" or "cat sitting"
+- **Image Search**: Upload any image to find visually similar ones
+- **Results**: Adjust the number of results using the slider (1-20)
+- **First Load**: May take 5-10 minutes to set up dataset initially
+
+*Note: First-time setup may take several minutes as the app downloads and processes the image dataset.*
