Reddit CPO talks new features — better translations, moderation and dev tools | TechCrunch

Apr 17, 2024 - techcrunch.com
Reddit is planning a range of AI-powered product features following its IPO, including faster loading times, more tools for moderators and developers, and a language translation feature. The translation feature will allow users to interact in their own language, regardless of the language of the original post, marking a shift from Reddit's previous focus on English-speaking countries. The company's expansion plans are backed by data showing that 50% of Reddit's daily active unique users in December 2023 were from non-U.S. countries.

AI is also central to Reddit's updates for moderators, with new tools such as keyword highlighting for potentially violative content and an LLM trained on past moderator decisions. Despite backlash over changes to its API pricing structure, Reddit is encouraging developers to build directly on its platform. The company's chief product officer, Pali Bhat, highlighted the innovative experiences being created on the platform, such as a live dashboard of trending stocks on r/WallStreetBets and a popular Super Bowl scoreboard on r/TaylorSwift.

Key takeaways:

  • Reddit is planning a range of product features for the year ahead, many of which are powered by AI, following its IPO.
  • Reddit's product roadmap includes faster loading times, more tools for moderators and developers, and an AI-powered language translation feature to reach a more global audience.
  • According to Reddit's IPO filing, in December 2023, 50% of Reddit's daily active unique users were from non-U.S. countries.
  • Reddit is encouraging developers to build directly on Reddit, and without pay, but this could change in the future.
