Why has Reddit become a power player in AI search? Because its structure, user-generated discussions, and lived-experience answers align closely with how AI systems evaluate trust, context, and relevance.
In this episode of Found in AI, Cassie is joined by SEO strategist Beth Chernes to break down why Reddit now appears so frequently in AI-powered search experiences—including Google’s AI Overviews—and what that means for founders and marketers trying to stay visible.
The conversation explores how the Google–Reddit partnership is reshaping discovery, how Reddit data is used to train large language models, and why transparency and participation matter more than promotional tactics on user-generated platforms.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why Reddit is dominating Google’s AI Overviews right now
- How Reddit data is training large language models — and what that means for brands
- The right and wrong ways to participate in subreddits
- How to use Reddit for social listening and pain-point research
- Why transparency matters more than ever on community-driven platforms
- How to think about ROI from Reddit without spamming or self-promotion
- One small Reddit experiment anyone can run this week
