-# ZenML Use Cases
-
-This folder contains examples of ZenML pipelines. These are more involved use
-cases with production-ready pipelines, with the exception of
-some that will be indicated in the table below.
-
-These core demonstrations of ZenML showcase the power of the framework in real
-scenarios that use cloud infrastructure or other cloud components.
-Explanations for how to use and run the use cases can be found in the README
-associated with each sub-folder.
-
-{% hint style="info" %}
-This directory previously contained examples of ZenML integrations and how to
-use them. These have been ingested into the core library as integration tests.
-It is therefore still possible to view the code at
-[`/tests/integration/examples`](https://github.com/zenml-io/zenml/tree/main/tests/integration/examples)
-but for explanations on how to use them, please refer to our dedicated [Component
-guide](https://docs.zenml.io/stacks-and-components/component-guide) in our
-documentation which has been updated with all the latest information.
-{% endhint %}
-
-Note that our full use cases are all implemented as templates so you can start
-with our code and then adapt the specifics to your individual needs. To learn
-more about how to do this, please [visit our dedicated documentation
-page](https://docs.zenml.io/user-guide/starter-guide/using-project-templates) on
-this.

-| Name | Description | Integrations | Core Project |
-| ---- | ----------- | ------------ | ------------ |
-| quickstart | This is our quickstart example showcasing basic functionality and a workflow to get you started with the ZenML framework | mlflow | ✅ |
-| e2e | Trains one or more scikit-learn classification models to make predictions on tabular classification datasets | scikit-learn | ✅ |
-| generative_chat | LEGACY: constructs a vector store to be used by a LLM-based chatbot based on documentation and data from a variety of sources | langchain, llama-index, slack |   |
-| label_studio_annotation | LEGACY: shows how to use the Label Studio integration for annotation in a computer-vision use case and series of pipelines | label_studio, pillow |   |
