+  Set up the app by adding an `id` in the config file. This keeps the data for future use. You can include this `id` in the yaml config or input it directly in `config` dict.
+  ```python app1.py
+  import os
+  from embedchain import Pipeline as App
+
+  os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = 'sk-xxx'
+
+  app1 = App.from_config(config={

+        "id": "your-app-id",
+      }
+    }
+  })

+  app1.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")
