+# Wikipedia bot in Python #
+
+👋 Hi there!
+
+## About the project ##
+
+This is a simple Wikipedia surfing bot in Python made with the wikipedia library. It allows the user to search for a topic and choose between the articles related to it. Once the user has chosen the article, it provides the link to the article and summarizes it in a line.
+
+## Installation and use ##
+
+1) Install the dependency
+
+```pip3 install wikipedia```
+
+2) Run the application
+
+```python3 Wikipedia_bot.py```
+
+3) Happy learning!
+
+## Bugs and improvements ###
+
+1) When trying to load the page of some articles, the program encounters a disambiguation error that suggests some other(totally unrelated) articles. I can't seem to fix it(found a workaround tho). Any help is appreciated!
+
+2) This app could definitely use a GUI
+
