### Step 2: Text Chunking ✅
- **File**: `chunker.py`
- **Function**: Splits documents into semantic chunks
- **Output**: `chunks.json` (1,249 chunks, avg 958 chars each)
- **Technology**: LangChain RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter
- **Configuration**: 1000 char chunks, 150 char overlap

### Step 3: Vector Database Creation ✅
- **File**: `build_vector_db.py`
- **Function**: Creates searchable embeddings
- **Output**: `chroma_db/` directory (15 MB)
- **Technology**: ChromaDB + Sentence-Transformers
- **Model**: all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (384 dimensions)
- **Performance**: 55.9 docs/second, 22.3s total build time

### Step 4: RAG Chatbot Application ✅
- **File**: `app.py`
- **Function**: Complete RAG interface
- **Technology**: Streamlit + OpenAI API
- **Features**: 
  - Clean web interface
  - API key configuration
  - Model selection (GPT-3.5/4)
  - Chat history
  - Source attribution
  - Example questions
