Hi,

There is a lot of information to consider. The first question is which role you're approaching it from: Knowledge Management, AI Search/SEO, or overall system improvement. Each area has different priorities, but there is overlap.

 

Since we're in the Knowledge Management forum, I'd start here:

Knowledge Management Academy:

AI Search with Now Assist in AI Search: Ask the experts (AI Academy):

For AI Search, this AI Search Quick Start Guide provides a good foundation:

I would also recommend the AI Academy sessions on AI Search and Now Assist:

These should give you an understanding of search relevancy, AI Search architecture, article and search optimization approaches.

Note: These are about a year old, so some product-specific details and interfaces may have changed. However, the core concepts and principles remain relevant and provide a solid foundation.
