Hi. I am using just the NLU part of Rasa and got a model. But I could not find a way to use that model (nlu only) other than by running a server and hitting a url as described at [Using NLU Only](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/nlu/using-nlu-only/)

How can I load the model into my program directly and use it?

Hi @ju-sh!

Checkout the [Agent](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/api/agent/#agent) API, especially the [parse\_message\_using\_nlu\_interpreter](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/api/agent/#rasa.core.agent.Agent.parse_message_using_nlu_interpreter) method.

Hope that helps. 🙂
