+### EMBED
+
+The EMBED instruction is used to add embeddings of files to a model. This is useful for adding custom data that the model can reference when generating an answer. Note that currently only text files are supported, formatted with each line as one embedding.
+```
+FROM <model name>:<tag>
+EMBED <file path>.txt
+EMBED <different file path>.txt
+EMBED <path to directory>/*.txt
+```
+
 ### PARAMETER
 
 The `PARAMETER` instruction defines a parameter that can be set when the model is run.
