For example, if you are planning your next trip, Google Discover might show an article with the best places to eat or sights to see. Google Discover is also a way to pick up a new hobby, or explore an existing interest. Google will be able to infer your level of expertise on a topic and tailor content accordingly. To aid in this, cards will also appear in Search results With the help of the Topic Layer in the Knowledge Graph, Discover can predict your level of expertise on a topic and help you further develop those interests.
