#### Import Knowledge: The "Copy Text" Method

One of the easiest ways to add knowledge to your character is by using the Copy Text import method. This feature lets you quickly add new information by simply pasting text directly from your clipboard.

Here’s how it works:

1. Copy the information you want your AI to learn from any source—a document, a webpage, or even an email.
2. In the Hallway.ai dashboard, select the "Copy Text" import method and paste your content into the provided field.
3. Process and Parse: The AI will immediately process your text. It automatically parses the content into a topic and content format, making the information searchable and immediately accessible for your character to use in conversations.
