Reddit Answers to rival AI-driven search tools
Reddit Answers simplifies finding platform information through AI-driven curated summaries.
Reddit has introduced a new AI-powered feature, Reddit Answers, designed to streamline users’ search for information across the platform. The tool analyses posts and provides summarised responses to user questions, accompanied by links to relevant communities and discussions. Currently, in its testing phase, Reddit Answers is accessible in English to select users in the United States, with plans to expand globally.
The initiative reflects Reddit‘s ambition to rival search engines and AI platforms like OpenAI‘s ChatGPT by leveraging its community-driven content. During the third quarter, Reddit reported a 47% surge in daily active unique visitors, reaching 97.2 million. The platform also saw a 14% increase in its average revenue per user, now at $3.58.
By offering curated responses from its vast user-generated knowledge base, Reddit aims to enhance usability while staying competitive in the evolving AI and search landscape.
