# AI-assisted search

> [!important]
> AI capabilities in Content Hub need to be enabled and, if necessary, configured by a *superuser* or a user with the necessary permissions granted to them through [user group policies](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/user-group-policies.html "User group policies"). Most AI capabilities require Sitecore Stream.

AI-assisted search uses artificial intelligence to help users find content more efficiently. Instead of relying only on keywords, it works with visual cues, context, and metadata to deliver more relevant results.

> After AI-assisted visual search has been [enabled](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/enable-visual-search.html "Enable visual search"), you can use it to find images; however, to ensure you get the results you expect, [configure the visual search settings](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/configure-sitecore-ai-for-visual-search.html "Configure Sitecore AI for visual search") that determine how visual search performs and follow the [recommended best practices](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/using-visual-search.html "Using visual search"). We also provide [additional FAQs](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/ai-features-faq.html "AI features FAQ") related to visual search.
