 Automation for MS Rewards based on [https://youtu.be/4qdPcMNaioA](https://youtu.be/4qdPcMNaioA).
+
+# Running Instructions
+
+Clone the repository.
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/User0332/rewards-farmer
+```
+
+Enter the root directory of the repository and create a wordlist named `nouns.txt` which will contain seed words for the LLM to complete 20 searches. The wordlist should be separated by newline
+
+```sh
+cd rewards-farmer
+cp /path/to/my_amazing_wordlist.txt nouns.txt
+```
+
+You should also have an Ollama account created (for the LLM), the `ollama` tool installed, and you should have signed in to the Ollama CLI via the command line using `ollama signin`. This project will use a minimal amount of Ollama cloud usage using `gemma4:cloud`. If you wish to use a different model, please change the `model` parameter in the `get_ollama_response` function in `src/llm_utils.py`.
+
+Activate the virtual environment & install dependencies (you may have to use `python -m poetry` instead of `poetry`).
+You must have Python 3.14+ and Poetry installed.
+
+Windows (PowerShell)
+```sh
+poetry install
+iex (poetry env activate)
+```
+
+*nix (Bash)
+```sh
+poetry install
+eval $(poetry env activate)
+```
+
+You must also have a [webdriver for Microsoft Edge](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webdriver/?tabs=c-sharp) installed. If you already have the Edge Browser installed, you probably have this component as well.
+
+Change the profile directory in `src/constants.py` to `Default`. If this signs you in to a global profile that you do not want to use for automation, then you can create a new profile from within the webdriver instance manually and then change the `PROFILE_NAME` constant back to `Profile 1` (or the equivalent number).
+
+Run main.py (`python src/main.py`, it must be run from the root directory so the relative paths work out), wait for the page to launch, and then CTRL-C to quit the application immediately. Sign in to the created profile with your Microsoft account on both Bing and `rewards.bing.com`.
+
+Close all webdriver browser instances. Run `main.py` again; the automation should start working.
+
+Please open up a GitHub issue if you run into any difficulties.
