This makes it easier for people to find the information they need when they need it. Topics are generated in two ways: either manually by users, or automatically by AI. Once a topic is generated, AI will update the topic and related resources as it discovers new information. This allows businesses to always have the most up-to-date information available. In addition, users can also manually update topic cards and pages to adjust the topic description or highlight new resources and connections.
