| 0:00.0 | Reddit is taking a huge step into AI powered commerce. Now, this is an interesting story. Reddit |
| 0:06.0 | feels like one of those companies that, of course, is a legendary online company, but has |
| 0:11.4 | definitely had to make some adjustments and shift due to AI. We had just last year, their CEO came out |
| 0:16.4 | and said that AI bots were not a net driver of any sort of traffic to Reddit. And then we have, |
| 0:22.6 | of course, a lot of these pivots and moves where they're selling their training data to |
| 0:26.3 | companies like Google and OpenAI for, you know, multi-hundred million dollar deals for |
| 0:31.2 | training data. So it seems like Reddit, you know, is a company that has went public is really |
| 0:35.5 | trying to capitalize on AI, but they're trying to thread the line of not, you know, doing dead internet theory and making |
| 0:40.9 | everything on the internet, just AI, right? Because they have a social media platform that really |
| 0:44.6 | relies on real humans, sharing real experiences. So there's an interesting balancing act. |
| 0:49.3 | It feels like Reddit has to play. But that doesn't stop them from rolling out new products. |
| 0:52.8 | They have a brand new |
| 0:54.2 | step into AI powered commerce that I think is fascinating. And they've just shared a bunch of the |
| 0:59.0 | numbers, which are honestly, absolutely mind-blowing. So I want to get into all of that today on the |
| 1:04.2 | podcast. But before we do, if you want to try any of the AI models I talk about on the show, |
| 1:09.0 | I'd love for you to go check out AIbox.a.I'm super stoked. |
| 1:13.1 | I just did an entire redesign of the whole platform from the ground up. If you've tried it or |
| 1:17.8 | seen it in the past, I would love for you to go check it out today as the whole platform has been |
| 1:21.9 | overhauled and I hope this makes it simpler, faster, easier. And we just launched an $899 pricing to make it even cheaper to get access to over 40 of the top AI models. We also have annual pricing where you can save 20%. But we've been super excited. The platform is growing a lot. We're adding new features. Let me know if you ever have any features that you want to see in the platform. That's why I make this podcast is to help grow this platform. So I love for you to go check it out. AIbox.AI. It's linked |
| 1:49.0 | in the description. Okay. So just on Thursday, Reddit said that they were testing a new AI-driven |
| 1:54.9 | search experience. This is going to kind of mix some community recommendations with products |
| 2:00.0 | from their shopping and advertising |
