• Reddit just launched Reddit Answers, which answers user questions with an AI-powered summary of the relevant information on the platform.
• The summaries include links to related communities and posts.
• The feature is only currently available to a limited number of US users.

It was only a matter of time before Reddit introduced an AI element. Predictable as it might have been, the new feature being launched by the platform today looks to take on Google at its own game. Reddit Answers is an AI-powered conversational interface that will take a plain-language question from the user and return a summary of the most relevant information from the forums.

The test version of Reddit Answers was announced in a blog post on Monday morning. In the same manner as Google’s AI Overviews, Reddit Answers goes beyond a list of search results and provides a zero-click response based on references to the topic in the thousands of Reddit communities.
