Google and Reddit have announced an expansion of their partnership, aimed at making it easier for users to access the wealth of information and conversations on the platform. One of the key aspects of this partnership is a new Cloud partnership that will allow Reddit to leverage AI-powered capabilities through Vertex AI. This will enhance search and other functions on the Reddit platform, making it easier for users to find the information they need.
Google has observed a growing trend of users turning to its search engine to find content from Reddit, ranging from product recommendations to travel advice. In response to this, Google is working on ways to make this content more easily accessible across its products. By utilizing Reddit’s Data API, Google will have real-time access to structured content from the platform, which will help improve the display and relevance of Reddit information across Google products.
This partnership will not change Google’s current practices of using publicly available content for indexing and display. Both companies are excited about the possibilities that this expanded partnership will bring, and are committed to making Reddit’s content more accessible and beneficial to users across various platforms.
