Reddit Tests AI Answers Tool

📊 Reddit (RDDT) rolled out "Reddit Answers," an AI-powered feature that generates answers sourced from user posts. Initially available to a small U.S. audience, the tool aims to improve search by connecting users directly to Reddit content instead of replacing it.

🤖 Powered by OpenAI and Google Cloud (GOOG), the feature allows users to ask questions and receive curated, AI-generated insights with links to Reddit posts. This approach leverages Reddit’s reputation for authentic, community-driven content.

📈 Reddit Answers could reduce Google reliance, encouraging more users to explore Reddit directly, boosting account creation, and monetizing logged-in traffic. Currently available in English for iOS and desktop, expansion to Android and other languages is planned.
