# Knowledge & Training

> Give your character a knowledge base to reference and train it with conversation examples to shape how it responds.

# Knowledge & Training

These two sections teach your character two different things:

* **Knowledge** = what your character *knows* (facts, documents, information)
* **Training** = how your character *responds* (example conversations that shape its behavior)

Think of it like this: Knowledge is the textbook your character studies. Training is the practice test it learns from.

## Knowledge

**How to get here:**

> Go to your character's dashboard → left sidebar → click **Universal** → click **Knowledge**

The full path is: **Universal → Knowledge**

The Knowledge base is a collection of documents, articles, websites, and text snippets that your character can **search through and reference** when answering questions. When a user asks something relevant, the character finds the right information in its knowledge base and uses it in its reply.

**Real example:** If you add your server's rules document to the Knowledge base, and a user asks "what are the rules?", the character will find and summarize them accurately.

### How to Add Knowledge

At the top of the Knowledge page there are three ways to add content:

| Option     | How to use it                                                                                                         |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Import** | Click Import and upload a file from your computer — supports PDF, TXT, DOCX, and other document formats.              |
| **Links**  | Paste a URL (a web address) — the system automatically visits the page and saves its content into the knowledge base. |
| **Add**    | Click Add to type or paste text directly — useful for adding short facts, rules, or custom reference material.        |

### When is Knowledge useful?

Use the Knowledge base when:

* You have **long documents** with specific information (too long to fit in the Personality backstory)
* You want the character to know **exact facts** word-for-word — like server rules, an FAQ, product info, lore documentation
* You have **content that changes** — update the knowledge base file instead of rewriting the Personality

<Tip>
  Keep your knowledge entries **short and clearly labeled**. A huge wall of unstructured text is harder for the AI to search accurately than several smaller, well-organized entries. If you have a long document, consider splitting it into sections.

## Training

**How to get here:**

> Go to your character's dashboard → left sidebar → click **Universal** → click **Training**

The full path is: **Universal → Training**

**Conversation Training** lets you give the character example conversations — a user message followed by the perfect response. The AI studies these examples to understand exactly how you want it to behave.

Think of it like showing a new employee the right way to do their job by showing them worked examples.

### Training Page Layout

| Element                  | What it is                                                                                                                                                                                |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Search bar**           | Search through your existing training examples by keyword.                                                                                                                                |
| **+ Add Example button** | Click this to create a new training example.                                                                                                                                              |
| **Example cards**        | Each card shows one training pair — the user message on one side and the character's ideal response on the other. Each card also shows which platform it came from and when it was added. |

### How to Add a Training Example

1. Click the **+ Add Example** button
2. In the first box, write a **user message** — something a real user might type to your character
3. In the second box, write the **character's ideal response** — exactly how you want the character to reply to that kind of message
4. Click Save (or similar)

Examples are numbered automatically (Example #1, #2, #3, etc.) as you add them.

### What Makes a Good Training Example?

Good training examples include:

| Type                  | Description                                                                                                      |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Edge cases**        | Situations where the character currently responds badly or incorrectly. Show it the right answer.                |
| **Signature phrases** | If your character has specific catchphrases or a unique way of speaking, write examples that show this.          |
| **Hard questions**    | Questions where you have a very specific stance or answer you want — train the character on exactly what to say. |
| **Tone examples**     | Show the right balance of humor, seriousness, or brevity for different types of messages.                        |

<Tip>
  **Variety matters.** Don't add 20 examples that are all the same type of question. The AI learns better from a wide range of different situations. Cover greetings, factual questions, emotional conversations, edge cases, and jokes — at minimum.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Fix bad behavior fast with Training.** If your character keeps getting a specific type of message wrong, add 3–5 training examples for that exact scenario with your ideal responses. This is usually faster and more effective than rewriting the Personality backstory.
