# Custom Knowledge

[AIDEN](https://iq.wiki/wiki/aiden)’s Custom Knowledge feature allows users to create different folders filled with knowledge from their preferred sources to customize and further enhance the AIDEN Chatbot data set. Users are able to feed the bot any files, websites, documents, or texts; and are also able to enter custom instructions for the bot to follow at all times.

Example of Custom Instructions:

**After custom instructions:**
