(Reuters) - Reddit is testing an AI-powered feature called Reddit Answers, which scours posts on the social media platform to answer users' queries, it said on Monday.

The feature would make it easier for users to find information posted on the platform while helping Reddit compete better with search engine rivals and AI startups such as ChatGPT-maker OpenAI and Perplexity that source information from across the web.
