+# Global Value Factor Database Assistant
+
+An AI-enhanced interactive chatbot that allows users to explore and calculate with the Global Value Factor Database - a comprehensive dataset that converts environmental and social impacts into monetary values (USD).
+
+## ✨ Features
+
+- 🤖 **AI-Enhanced Responses**: Local AI model provides intelligent, conversational responses
+- 🔍 **Search Value Factors**: Find specific value factors by category, country, or keywords  
+- 🧮 **Impact Calculations**: Calculate monetary impacts using value factors and impact quantities
+- 🌍 **Country Analysis**: Explore value factors specific to different countries
+- 📊 **Category Filtering**: Browse factors by environmental categories (air pollution, water, waste, etc.)
+- 💰 **Completely FREE**: Runs locally on Hugging Face infrastructure with no API costs
+
+## Dataset
+
+This assistant uses the [Global Value Factor Database Refactor V2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/danielrosehl/Global-Value-Factor-Database-Refactor-V2) created by the International Foundation for Valuing Impacts (IFVI).
+
+The database covers:
+- 229 countries (205 with ISO codes)
+- Multiple environmental categories
+- Standardized monetary conversion factors
+- Precise decimal values for accurate calculations
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+- "Find air pollution value factors"
+- "Calculate impact for 100 tons with factor 185.50"
+- "Show value factors for Germany"
+- "Search water consumption factors"
+
+## Technology Stack
+
+- **Frontend**: Gradio for interactive web interface
+- **Data Processing**: Pandas for data manipulation
+- **Dataset**: Hugging Face Datasets library
+- **Backend**: Python with efficient search and calculation algorithms
+
+## Categories Covered
+
+- Air pollution
+- Land use and conservation
+- Waste generation
+- Water consumption
+- Water pollution
+
+Perfect for researchers, sustainability professionals, ESG analysts, and anyone working with environmental impact assessment and monetization.
