## Troubleshooting

**If conda command not found:**
- Use Anaconda Prompt instead of regular PowerShell
- Or run: `C:\Users\85jat\anaconda3\Scripts\activate.bat` (adjust path as needed)

**If environment activation fails:**
- Create environment first: `conda create -n research-ai-assistant python=3.10`

**If import errors:**
- Ensure environment is activated: `conda activate research-ai-assistant`
- Install packages: `pip install openai>=1.0.0`
