This feature leverages data from Google's Knowledge Graph,<ref>{{cite news |last1=Lardinois |first1=Frederic |title=Google Just Got A Whole Lot Smarter, Launches Its Knowledge Graph |url=https://techcrunch.com/2012/05/16/google-just-got-a-whole-lot-smarter-launches-its-knowledge-graph/ |access-date=28 August 2024 |work=TechCrunch |date=16 May 2012}}</ref> a database that organizes and interconnects information about entities, enhancing the retrieval and presentation of relevant content to users.

The content within a Knowledge Panel<ref>{{cite news |last1=Duffy |first1=Scott |title=How to Claim and Optimize Your Google Knowledge Panel |url=https://www.entrepreneur.com/starting-a-business/how-to-claim-and-optimize-your-google-knowledge-panel/448440 |access-date=28 August 2024 |work=Entrepreneur |date=7 April 2023 |language=en}}</ref> is derived from various sources, including [[Wikipedia]] and other structured databases, ensuring that the information displayed is both accurate and contextually relevant. For instance, querying a well-known public figure may trigger a Knowledge Panel displaying essential details such as biographical information, birthdate, and links to social media profiles or official websites.

The primary objective of the Google Knowledge Panel is to provide users with immediate, factual answers, reducing the need for extensive navigation across multiple web pages.
