I have a workflow where I have a fixed set of text as rules in a couple large text files on disk. When a user fills out a form I need to have an AI agent look at what they filled out in the form along with the rules text from those files and give a response on how they did. The key here is that I need all the data together for the AI Agent. I suspect I’m thinking about this wrong. Here’s a screenshot of how I have it now. Notice after submitting the form that “1 item” flows through, but “Read/Write Files from Disk” is left out. How can I get all of the information (files from disk and form fields) together for use as fields for the AI Agent? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/8/4/8412f6d62d47115cb61ae7da6d08dd3403b804a8.png) ---

Hi. This is the solution: ![1](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/b/a/bac8469dabce752068243f7a1dd5431ce6389a48.png) Then, once a user submit form after write the text, then it will read files from your disk for rules and the text which user input is sent to Merge node. ---
