Inconsistencies in Documentation

[alexsanjoseph]

Hi Daniel,

Really impressed with the mission here - I was trying to follow the main Readme.MD at the top level but was a bit confused and stuck because I didn't know what to do after following the steps in the quick start, but later realized after going over the repo that there is a lot more detailed documentation within the PAI_DIRECTORY/documentation folder which explains everything in detail.

However, I also see that the a lot of the detail within folder is no long up to date (for example Eleven labs integration). Also the main documentation doesn't directly refer to the fact that detailed documentation is available under the PAI_DIRECTORY/documentation folder (except within a closed accordion for the Release Notes for Sep 21st).

I want to propose the following changes:

1. Make the main documentation be links to the individual documentation rather than duplication which has a high chance of going stale (like what happened now)
2. Update some of the documentation within the /documentation folder to be in line with the latest release.

Does this make sense? If you are in high level agreement, I would like to contribute for the same and put a PR for this.

Also the /documentation/README.md mentions contributing.md but that is missing

+1. I love the project but haven't got to the bottom of Claude Code path issues after following a few different paths through the documentation. Am interested in contributing as well.
