Reddit is launching a new AI-powered search tool called Reddit Answers to help you more easily find information on the platform. The tool, similar to other AI search products, responds to queries by generating well-formatted responses and showing links to its sources.

With Reddit Answers, you can search a specific problem and, theoretically, have the tool deliver conversational answers with direct links and quotes to actual Reddit posts. The Verge's Jay Peters got an early look at Reddit Answers and wrote they've "liked what [they've] seen" in limited testing.

Reddit's partnership with Google for AI training on Reddit comments may have influenced the development of this search tool. The new Reddit search tool efficiently scans for relevant answers and provides prompts, potentially revolutionizing Reddit's search engine.
