Hi, I am currently using rasa train nlu and notice that the user can type lines to the assistant via the terminal. Is it possible to pass in a file an get an analysis (such as named entity recognition to make knowledge graphs)?

Hi @vijmeister, you can load the trained model with an instance of the `Agent` class and then pass a new message through the API of the [`Agent` class](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/blob/master/rasa/core/agent.py).
