- Subsequent queries will be fast (~2 seconds)

**Q: "I don't see my uploaded textbook in the dropdown"**
- Refresh the browser (Ctrl+F5)
- Check backend server console for errors

**Q: "API key error"**
- Check you copied the full key (starts with `sk-ant-v1-`)
- Make sure .env file is saved
- Restart backend server after editing .env
