+## **Debugging and Manual Execution**
+For debugging purposes, you can manually run the solver as described above. However, for a more user-friendly experience, use the `main.py` script which provides a Tkinter-based UI. This interface leverages Google Gemini AI to generate real-world problems, convert them into knapsack instances, and solve them.
+
+### **Running the Tkinter UI**
+1. **Execute the Main Script**
+   ```bash
+   python main.py
+   ```
+
+2. **Features of the UI**
+   - **Problem Generation**: Automatically generate optimization problems using Google Gemini AI.
+   - **Instance Conversion**: Convert generated problems into knapsack instances.
+   - **Solution Visualization**: Visualize the solutions and fitness convergence within the UI.
