Reddit is set to test AI-powered search result pages

Reddit is set to enhance its platform with AI-powered search result pages. This exciting development aims to improve user experience by providing more relevant and informative search results.

Reddit co-founder and CEO Steve Huffman told investors during its earnings call on Tuesday that the company plans to test AI-powered search result pages to “summarize and recommend content.” He noted this will help users “dive deeper” into content and discover new Reddit communities. 

How Will It Work?

• AI-generated summaries: Reddit plans to introduce AI-generated summaries at the top of search results, offering users a quick overview of the content.
• Content recommendations: The AI will also suggest related content and communities, helping users discover new interests and topics.

By leveraging AI, Reddit hopes to make it easier for users to find the information they need and explore the vastness of the platform.

Today marked the second time Reddit reported its quarterly earnings since becoming a public company. For the second quarter, the company reported 342.3 million weekly active users, a 57% jump from the year prior. Revenue increased to $281.2 million, higher than Wall Street estimates of $253.8 million.
