Reddit soon going to compete with Gemini, Perplexity, ChatGPT with their latest AI tool?
Reddit has always been a goldmine of community-driven insights, but navigating through threads can sometimes be overwhelming.
Hence Reddit is introducing an AI-powered conversational interface that provides curated summaries, relevant snippets, and direct links to posts and communities—all in one place.
While ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, etc. give generic summarized responses from the web, Reddt delivers real answers from real people powered by Reddit communities.
What do you think about this direction? How would you use Reddit Answers? Let’s discuss! 😊

Reddit is a goldmine. Of course, it has its flip side as well. For eg: some of the info is not accurate or outdated.
But it is still the best source of knowledge for the search engines. If I remember correctly, Google has invested heavily in Reddit. Also the reason why Reddit answers are always top for most of the topics.
And the talk is that Google invested in Reddit becuase it wanted to train Gemini on it. Which I think has already been done and I can see its results in the new Gemini 2.0 experimental.
There are still some very good and valuable communities on Reddit that are very valuable source of information. Its another community similar to X, where Groq is trained mostly.
I think all the big communities will get to the conversational interface sooner or later. It surely helps a lot to the users and tend to make them engaged on the platform.

@tousif_socialmeai yes, since other LLMs are already using Reddit as a source, it's a good initiative by Reddit to launch an app built on top of its own platform data.
I'm hopeful Reddit can bring something new to the table. Their AI could be a fresh take compared to others like Perplexity and ChatGPT.
It'll be tough for Reddit to beat out established tools but I’m open to seeing what they offer.
@yahya_rogers Indeed, I think a lot of people search for Reddit posts on Google so this update helps those users directly through a chatbot instead of them Googling. :)
Yes, Reddit is launching its own AI tool to compete with platforms like Gemini, Perplexity, and ChatGPT.
Other AI tools learn from curated content, Reddit's AI could tap into millions of authentic conversations and community knowledge. Their massive database of human interactions and problem-solving threads could create an AI that understands context and nuance differently than current players.
@tjlarkin Absolutely! Since other LLMs are already taking content from Reddit as one of their sources, it's a good move by Reddit to launch a tool built on top of its own platform data.
