-E.g. historical figures, patients with particular medical conditions
+## Use Cases
+Chergpt-Basic enables a variety of use cases, with the primary one being the creation of user personas for students to interact with. Examples include historical figures or patients with specific medical conditions.
 
 ## How to setup backend 
 We recommend using **NeonDB** 
 You can follow instructions on NeonDB [here](https://start.open.gov.sg/docs/getting-started/prerequisites) <br>
 
-Your cluster will be created in a few seconds and the Create SQL user dialog will display.
 
-For either (A) or (B), copy the URL and put it as `DB_CONNECTION = "{DB connection String}"` under `secrets.toml`
+## Secrets.toml File Structure
+In the `secrets.toml` file, specify three items: you have to change it to your own
 
-## secrets.toml file structure
-You will need to specify 3 items:<br>
-```
-OPENAI_API_KEY = "{api_key}" #See [here](https://teachertech.beehiiv.com/p/api-openai) if you unsure on how to create<br>
-DB_CONNECTION = "{db_connection string}" #Refer to instructions above on **How to setup backend** if unsure
-ADMIN_PASSWORD = "{any password you want}" #This is used to gate access on how can update custom instructions
+```toml
+OPENAI_API_KEY = "sk-Co6R5h4RcT....................................." 
+ADMIN_PASSWORD= "passwordyourchoice" 
+DB_CONNECTION = "postgresql://chergpt:PGPASSWORD@ep-weathered-shadow-a1uz6hly.ap-southeast-1.aws.neon.tech/neondb?sslmode=require" 
 ```
