“Reddit Answers” will answer questions with AI-generated summaries of user content.
[[{“value”:”
On Monday, Reddit announced it would test an AI-powered search feature called “Reddit Answers” that uses an AI model to create summaries from existing Reddit posts to respond to user questions, reports Reuters.
The feature generates responses by searching through Reddit’s vast collection of community discussions and comments. When users ask questions, Reddit Answers provides summaries of relevant conversations and includes links to related communities and posts.
The move potentially puts Reddit in competition with traditional search engines like Google and newer AI search tools like those from OpenAI and Perplexity. But while other companies pull information from across the Internet, Reddit Answers focuses only on content within Reddit’s platform.
