Summary

Reddit has introduced a new AI-powered feature called Reddit Answers, designed for users seeking specific advice or information. The platform now caters to two types of users: those who engage in community discussions (Scrollers) and those actively looking for answers (Seekers). With over 1 million weekly active users since its beta launch, the feature integrates into the main search bar and provides early access for new users. The company is also exploring integration points beyond search, aiming to enhance user experience while managing Google Search impacts. Positive financial results and stock performance reflect the platform's growing strength in addressing user needs effectively.
