March 17 (Reuters) - Global online ⁠review platform Trustpilot said on Tuesday its annual ⁠profit more than quadrupled, lifted by AI search tools ‌that drove a 1,490% surge in click-throughs to its site and reinforced its role as a key data source for AI models.

Shares of the ​company jumped nearly 19% in early ⁠trading.

Trustpilot, whose reviews are ⁠increasingly appearing across the web and in AI-generated search results, is ⁠among ‌digital platforms with large stores of user-generated content benefiting from the AI boom, as large language ⁠models draw on review sites to answer consumer ​queries.
