Reddit Introduces AI-Powered 'Answers' to Summarize User Discussions

The new feature aims to enhance search functionality by providing curated summaries of Reddit posts for user queries.

Reddit Answers is an AI-driven tool that generates summaries of discussions and posts from across the platform to answer user questions.
The feature is currently in beta testing, available to select users in the U.S. in English, with plans for broader expansion in the future.
Users can input questions and receive concise, conversational summaries, along with links to relevant posts and communities for deeper exploration.
Reddit Answers is designed to reduce reliance on external search engines like Google, where users often add 'Reddit' to queries for better results.
The tool is part of Reddit's broader strategy to improve its search capabilities, attract more users, and potentially monetize the feature in the future.
