-Simple example for cocoindex: extract structured information from a Markdown file.
+In this example, we
+
+*   Converts PDFs (generated from a few Python docs) into Markdown.
+*   Extract structured information from the Markdown using LLM.
+*   Use a custom function to further extract information from the structured output.
 
 ## Prerequisite
-[Install Postgres](https://cocoindex.io/docs/getting_started/installation#-install-postgres) if you don't have one.
+
+Before running the example, you need to:
+
+*   [Install Postgres](https://cocoindex.io/docs/getting_started/installation#-install-postgres) if you don't have one.
+*   Install / configure LLM API. In this example we use Ollama, which runs LLM model locally. You need to get it ready following [this guide](https://cocoindex.io/docs/ai/llm#ollama). Alternatively, you can also follow the comments in source code to switch to OpenAI, and [configure OpenAI API key](https://cocoindex.io/docs/ai/llm#openai) before running the example.

+After index is build, you have a table with name `modules_info`. You can query it any time, e.g. start a Postgres shell:
 
 ```bash
-python manual_extraction.py
