Taboola has launched DeeperDive, a revolutionary Gen AI answer engine that promises to change how readers interact with publisher content. As Generative AI-powered search engines increasingly threaten traditional publishers, DeeperDive delivers a fresh approach—directly connecting readers with unique content on publisher websites. Leading publishers in the United States and the United Kingdom have already begun implementing this cutting-edge technology to engage users and protect their content.
How Taboola DeeperDive Empowers Publishers Against GenAI Search
Today’s publishers face challenges from GenAI search engines, which often scrape content without consent and decrease publisher traffic. DeeperDive addresses these challenges by being installed directly on publisher sites, ensuring readers stay engaged with original articles in a trusted environment. Instead of losing visitors to external AI platforms that might not compensate them, publishers can now offer an immersive, AI-powered search experience on their own platforms. This innovation provides a path forward that combines reader convenience with content protection, empowering publishers to regain control and defend their business models.
Key Features of DeeperDive: From Engagement to Monetization
DeeperDive brings the familiar GenAI search experience directly to media sites and offers multiple advantages:
- Smarter answers for readers by leveraging real-time insights from Taboola’s network of over 600 million daily active users.
- Enhanced engagement as readers receive direct, intuitive answers linked to relevant articles, increasing site time and loyalty.
- Monetization opportunities by including highly targeted, contextually relevant ads within AI-generated answer pages, allowing publishers to capture advertising revenue from high-intent inquiries.
This new technology gives publishers tools to both boost audience interaction and create new revenue streams, turning each user query into a potential commercial opportunity.
