Yahoo’s branded AI companion — designed to guide users across its properties — launched today as its first version of an AI-powered answer engine. It also formed partnerships with Anthropic and Microsoft.
The engine, Yahoo Scout, takes the company back to its roots and integrates services across the Yahoo network including Yahoo News, Finance, Mail, and traditional search. It offers suggested searches with filters for topics like news, finance, sports, shopping, and travel.
“Search is fundamentally changing, and our team has been inspired to use our decades of experience and extremely rare assets to create something uniquely useful for Yahoo’s hundreds of millions of monthly users,” wrote Jim Lanzone, CEO of Yahoo, in a blog post. “This beta launch is just the starting point. From search to our industry-leading verticals, Yahoo Scout will help our users accomplish their goals online faster and better than ever before.”
