If I could go back to my first day in Geo, the first thing I would tell myself is: do not start by adding information, start by understanding how knowledge is connected.

When I first started with Geo, the idea of connected knowledge was not clear in my mind. I was looking at information as separate pieces, but once I understood how entities and relationships work together, I saw Geo in a completely different way.

This understanding changed the way I looked at every contribution. Adding information was no longer just filling fields; it became like building a connected knowledge map. Every new entity and relationship added another piece to the bigger picture.

Seeing the structure you are building gives you more enjoyment and motivation to continue exploring and contributing. It feels like creating a knowledge artwork that becomes clearer as more meaningful connections are added.

One thing that helped me understand Geo better was creating entities manually. By adding information step by step, I started to understand how entities, types, properties, and relationships work together.

The first concepts I recommend understanding are:

Before creating any entity, search for it first. At the beginning, I thought Geo might automatically recognize duplicates and that it would choose the best type and definition for an entity automatically.

Later, I understood that searching carefully and choosing the correct structure is part of the curator’s responsibility.

When I was unsure about choosing an entity type, I sometimes used Geo’s AI assistant to help me understand which type fits better. After practicing and understanding the structure, I became more confident making these decisions myself.

When you first start with Geo, do not try to understand everything at once.

Focus first on understanding the foundation: entities, types, properties, and relationships.

First, understand how knowledge is structured in Geo and how different pieces of information connect with each other.

A strong understanding of the foundation will make everything else easier later.

I started with the AI space because it was a topic I was already interested in.

The bounty itself attracted me because it discussed AI programs, different models, their capabilities, context windows, and how they represent and process information.

Starting with a topic that I was curious about made it easier for me to understand how information can be divided into entities and connected through meaningful relationships.

Another space that I think can be a good starting point for new curators is the World Affairs space.

Some spaces, such as Crypto, may require newcomers to first understand several related concepts, such as cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and Web3, before they can contribute comfortably.

World Affairs can be more accessible because anyone interested in following global events, reading news, and organizing information can start contributing while learning how Geo works.

One mistake I would tell new curators to avoid is assuming that Geo will automatically make every decision for them.

At the beginning, I thought Geo might automatically prevent duplicates and choose the best type and definition for an entity.

Later, I understood that a curator’s responsibility is to search carefully, understand the structure, and make thoughtful decisions before creating entities.

Taking some extra time to understand the structure at the beginning saves much more time later.

My biggest advice for a new curator is to explore, ask questions, and learn from existing entities.

Do not hesitate to ask when something is unclear. Understanding why something is structured in a certain way is more valuable than simply creating more entities.

Every edit contributes to building a connected knowledge graph, where the value comes not only from the information itself, but from how that information connects with everything else.
