 ```
 
+In short, you can use the chat engine by calling `index.asChatEngine()`. It will return a `ContextChatEngine` to start chatting.
+
+```typescript
+const chatEngine = index.asChatEngine();
+```
+
+You can also pass in options to the chat engine.
+
+```typescript
+const chatEngine = index.asChatEngine({
+  similarityTopK: 5,
+  systemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant.",
+});
+```
+
+
 The `chat` function also supports streaming, just add `stream: true` as an option:
 
 ```typescript
+const chatEngine = index.asChatEngine();
 const stream = await chatEngine.chat({ message: query, stream: true });
 for await (const chunk of stream) {
   process.stdout.write(chunk.response);
