  Reposition README opening to emphasize desktop app and local AI

  Why:

  CURRENT

  Chat with your documents using local AI. All your data stays on your computer and is never sent to the cloud. Chatd is a completely private and secure way to interact with your documents. Chatd is a desktop application that lets you use a local large language model (`Mistral-7B`) to chat with your documents.

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  Chatd is a **private, secure desktop application** that lets you chat with your documents using **local AI models** like Mistral-7B. All your data stays on your computer and is never sent to the cloud. Unlike other solutions, Chatd comes with the local LLM runner packaged in, so you don't need to install anything else to get started.

  ## Why Choose Chatd?
  
  Chatd differentiates itself from other local AI document chat solutions like LM Studio, Ollama, or PrivateGPT by offering a **fully self-contained desktop application**. Its key advantage is that it comes with the local LLM runner (Ollama) packaged in, meaning you don't need to install anything else to use chatd – just run the executable. This provides a truly zero-setup, private, and secure way to interact with your documents locally.
