❓ Common Questions

Q: Do I need Anthropic API key? A: No! This is Gemini 2.5 Flash only. Much cheaper and faster.

Q: How much does it cost? A: ~$0.001 per research task. Claude would cost ~$0.05 per task.

Q: Can I switch back to Claude? A: Yes! See COMPARISON.md for how to switch with minimal code changes.

Q: What if I hit rate limits? A: Reduce max_results in searches or upgrade your API plan.

Q: Where do I find help? A: Check the troubleshooting sections in GEMINI_QUICKSTART.md and README.md.

📞 Troubleshooting Quick Fixes

Problem Solution
"API key not found" Export: export GOOGLE_API_KEY="your-key"
"Module not found" Run: pip install -r requirements.txt
"Slow responses" This is normal for first response (model loading)
"Large results error" Agent auto-handles with files. No action needed.

🎯 Next Steps After Setup

  1. Understand: Read QUICK_REFERENCE.md
  2. Try: Run python gemini_quickstart.py
  3. Learn: Read README.md
  4. Explore: Try advanced_examples.py
  5. Customize: Modify for your use case
  6. Build: Create your own agent
