 Alright, let's dive into what each key means in the yaml config above:
 
 1. `app` Section:
     - `config`:
-        - `id` (String): The ID or name of your full-stack application.
-2. `chunker` Section:
-    - `chunk_size` (Integer): The size of each chunk of text that is sent to the language model.
-    - `chunk_overlap` (Integer): The amount of overlap between each chunk of text.
-    - `length_function` (String): The function used to calculate the length of each chunk of text. In this case, it's set to 'len'. You can also use any function import directly as a string here.
-3. `llm` Section:
+        - `name` (String): The name of your full-stack application.
+        - `id` (String): The id of your full-stack application.
+        <Note>Only use this to reload already created apps. We recommend users to not create their own ids.</Note>
+        - `collect_metrics` (Boolean): Indicates whether metrics should be collected for the app, defaults to `True`
+        - `log_level` (String): The log level for the app, defaults to `WARNING`
+2. `llm` Section:
     - `provider` (String): The provider for the language model, which is set to 'openai'. You can find the full list of llm providers in [our docs](/components/llms).
-    - `model` (String): The specific model being used, 'gpt-3.5-turbo'.
     - `config`:
+        - `model` (String): The specific model being used, 'gpt-3.5-turbo'.
         - `temperature` (Float): Controls the randomness of the model's output. A higher value (closer to 1) makes the output more random.
         - `max_tokens` (Integer): Controls how many tokens are used in the response.
         - `top_p` (Float): Controls the diversity of word selection. A higher value (closer to 1) makes word selection more diverse.
         - `stream` (Boolean): Controls if the response is streamed back to the user (set to false).
         - `template` (String): A custom template for the prompt that the model uses to generate responses.
         - `system_prompt` (String): A system prompt for the model to follow when generating responses, in this case, it's set to the style of William Shakespeare.
-4. `vectordb` Section:
+        -  `stream` (Boolean): Controls if the response is streamed back to the user (set to false).
+        - `number_documents` (Integer): Number of documents to pull from the vectordb as context, defaults to 1
+3. `vectordb` Section:
     - `provider` (String): The provider for the vector database, set to 'chroma'. You can find the full list of vector database providers in [our docs](/components/vector-databases).
     - `config`:
-        - `collection_name` (String): The initial collection name for the database, set to 'full-stack-app'.
-        - `dir` (String): The directory for the database, set to 'db'.
-        - `allow_reset` (Boolean): Indicates whether resetting the database is allowed, set to true.
-5. `embedder` Section:
+        - `collection_name` (String): The initial collection name for the vectordb, set to 'full-stack-app'.
+        - `dir` (String): The directory for the local database, set to 'db'.
+        - `allow_reset` (Boolean): Indicates whether resetting the vectordb is allowed, set to true.
+    <Note>We recommend you to checkout vectordb specific config [here](https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/vector-databases)</Note>
+4. `embedder` Section:
     - `provider` (String): The provider for the embedder, set to 'openai'. You can find the full list of embedding model providers in [our docs](/components/embedding-models).
     - `config`:
         - `model` (String): The specific model used for text embedding, 'text-embedding-ada-002'.
-
+5. `chunker` Section:
+    - `chunk_size` (Integer): The size of each chunk of text that is sent to the language model.
+    - `chunk_overlap` (Integer): The amount of overlap between each chunk of text.
+    - `length_function` (String): The function used to calculate the length of each chunk of text. In this case, it's set to 'len'. You can also use any function import directly as a string here.

 Creating an app involves 3 steps:
 
 <Steps>
   <Step title="⚙️ Import app instance">
-```python
-from embedchain import Pipeline as App
-app = App()
-```
+    ```python
+    from embedchain import Pipeline as App
+    app = App()
+    ```
+    <Accordion title="Customize your app by a simple YAML config" icon="gear-complex">
+      Embedchain provides a wide range of options to customize your app. You can customize the model, data sources, and much more.
+      Explore the custom configurations [here](https://docs.embedchain.ai/advanced/configuration).
+      ```python
+      from embedchain import Pipeline as App
+      app = App(yaml_config="config.yaml")
+      ```
+    </Accordion>
   </Step>
   <Step title="🗃️ Add data sources">
-```python
-# Add different data sources
-app.add("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk")
-app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")
-# You can also add local data sources such as pdf, csv files etc.
-# app.add("/path/to/file.pdf")
-```
+    ```python
+    app.add("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk")
+    app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")
+    # app.add("path/to/file/elon_musk.pdf")
+    ```
+    <Accordion title="Embedchain supports adding data from many data sources." icon="files">
+      Embedchain supports adding data from many data sources including web pages, PDFs, databases, and more.
+      Explore the list of supported [data sources](https://docs.embedchain.ai/data-sources/overview).
+    </Accordion>
   </Step>
-  <Step title="💬 Query or chat or search context on your data">
-```python
-app.query("What is the net worth of Elon Musk today?")
-# Answer: The net worth of Elon Musk today is $258.7 billion.
-```
+  <Step title="💬 Ask questions, chat, or search through your data with ease">
+    ```python
+    app.query("What is the net worth of Elon Musk today?")
+    # Answer: The net worth of Elon Musk today is $258.7 billion.
+    ```
+    <Accordion title="Want to chat with your app?" icon="face-thinking">
+      Embedchain provides a wide range of features to interact with your app. You can chat with your app, ask questions, search through your data, and much more.
+      ```python
+      app.chat("How many companies does Elon Musk run? Name those")
+      # Answer: Elon Musk runs 3 companies: Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink.
+      app.chat("What is his net worth today?")
+      # Answer: The net worth of Elon Musk today is $258.7 billion.
+      ```

   </Step>
-  <Step title="🚀 (Optional) Deploy your pipeline to Embedchain Platform">
-```python
-app.deploy()
-# 🔑 Enter your Embedchain API key. You can find the API key at https://app.embedchain.ai/settings/keys/
-# ec-xxxxxx
-
-# 🛠️ Creating pipeline on the platform...
-# 🎉🎉🎉 Pipeline created successfully! View your pipeline: https://app.embedchain.ai/pipelines/xxxxx
-
-# 🛠️ Adding data to your pipeline...
-# ✅ Data of type: web_page, value: https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk added successfully.
-```
+  <Step title="🚀 Seamlessly launch your App on the Embedchain Platform!">
+    ```python
+    app.deploy()
+    # 🔑 Enter your Embedchain API key. You can find the API key at https://app.embedchain.ai/settings/keys/

+    <Accordion title="Share your app with others" icon="laptop-mobile">
+      You can now share your app with others from our platform.
+      Access your app on our [platform](https://app.embedchain.ai/).
+    </Accordion>
   </Step>
 </Steps>
 
-Putting it together, you can run your first app using the following code. Make sure to set the `OPENAI_API_KEY` 🔑 environment variable in the code.
-
-```python
-import os
-from embedchain import Pipeline as App
-
-os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "xxx"
-app = App()
-
-# Add different data sources
-app.add("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk")
-app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")
-# You can also add local data sources such as pdf, csv files etc.
-# app.add("/path/to/file.pdf")
-
-response = app.query("What is the net worth of Elon Musk today?")
-print(response)
-# Answer: The net worth of Elon Musk today is $258.7 billion.
-
-app.deploy()
-# 🔑 Enter your Embedchain API key. You can find the API key at https://app.embedchain.ai/settings/keys/
