SAN FRANCISCO — In a groundbreaking move to elevate user interactions across the web, Reddit and OpenAI have announced a strategic partnership aimed at integrating Reddit’s vast content library with OpenAI’s advanced AI technologies. This collaboration will see Reddit’s rich discussions and diverse content seamlessly integrated into OpenAI’s ChatGPT and other AI-driven products, offering users enhanced access to real-time, structured information from one of the internet’s most vibrant communities.

By leveraging Reddit’s Data API, OpenAI will empower its tools to better understand and highlight Reddit content, particularly on trending topics.

These new features will be developed on OpenAI’s platform, aligning with Reddit’s commitment to improving the user experience through innovation.

Additionally, OpenAI will join Reddit as an advertising partner, further solidifying the collaboration between the two companies.

“We are excited to partner with Reddit to enrich ChatGPT with timely and relevant content, and to explore new possibilities for enhancing the Reddit experience with AI,” said Brad Lightcap, COO of OpenAI.

Steve Huffman, Co-Founder and CEO of Reddit, added, “This partnership supports our mission to keep the internet open and connected, helping users discover more of what they seek while fostering community and belonging on Reddit.”
