You need to add both `search` and `read` tools to your persona, and instruct your persona to do those actions in your system prompt.

LLMs you are using don’t learn. Your options to add information are:

- directly on the system prompt

- in posts on your forum and use the search / read tools

- via uploaded files with our built-in RAG feature

- via external sites / APIs using a custom made tool that reaches to the internet

Don’t worry, when it comes to AI we are all still learning 😅
