New York, April 10, 2025 – Google and Reddit have expanded their partnership further by introducing a new AI-based feature called Reddit Answers. The feature will work with the help of Google’s Vertex AI platform and will provide users with better search results and AI-generated answers using Reddit’s vast community-driven database.
What is Reddit Answers?
Reddit Answers is an AI-chatbot tool that was in beta testing since December last year. It is now available in the US in English language on the web and iOS. With its help, users can ask questions and get answers generated by AI based on Reddit posts and comments. These answers also include links to original discussions and communities, increasing the credibility of the information.
Integration of Google Gemini:
According to a report by Android Authority, Google Gemini (Google’s advanced AI model) is now integrated with Reddit Answers. This will help Reddit generate more accurate and relevant answers based on existing posts on its platform.
Matt Snelham, Reddit’s senior vice president of infrastructure, said that this feature has increased user engagement, and more people are visiting Reddit’s homepage.
User response:
However, some Reddit users did not like this feature. According to a TechCrunch report, many users complained that the “Answers” tab appears in their feed, making the interface look cluttered. Some people have even asked for the option to turn it off completely.
Future plans:
Google and Reddit aim to launch this feature in more languages and countries. Also, work is being done to make the answers given by AI more accurate.
Conclusion
It is clear from this partnership that the combination of AI and social media will change the way the internet searches and shares information in the future. However, given the response of the users, Reddit and Google need to make this feature more user-friendly.
