Appreciate the deep dive and as @rustybrick, @mgsiegler and others have noted these were all core values of the product from the start.
Also important to note that the quality (and distinctiveness) of our answers stems in large part from the unique, structured Yahoo data that we package up and send to the LLM. This will amp up even more as we add personalization for our logged in users.
🤖 Yahoo! released Scout, its new AI search engine, a few days ago, and it has, hands down, the most “open web” friendly interface compared to ChatGPT or AI Mode… and honestly, the best interface overall 👇
I’ve been comparing Yahoo! Scout vs. ChatGPT & AI Mode across answer quality, formats, and link inclusion, testing different search intents and verticals, and I couldn’t believe how consistently Yahoo! Scout delivers a more user- and open-web-friendly answer experience:
* Across most answers, it features a prominent, highlighted “Read More” button linking directly to the most relevant source behind the answer.
* It includes links to external sites directly within the answers, starting from the very first paragraph, often showing dozens of links to original sources (in addition to linking to all sources together at the end in a sidebar). In contrast, other AI platforms include far fewer links in the answer itself, and mostly push users to a sidebar to access external sources.
* It’s honestly crazy that after so much time of complaints from website owners, publishers, and the SEO community, Yahoo! ends up releasing a far more “open web”-friendly interface in its AI platform than… Google, that has supposedly been committed to improving theirs.
Although I was skeptical when I first saw the announcement, I’m more than happy to eat my words, and I want to congratulate Yahoo! for designing not only an easy-to-use interface, but one that genuinely incentivizes users to keep browsing the sites where the answers come from 👏
I really hope product managers and designers at @Google and @OpenAI take note.

Crushed to wake up to this news this morning. @Om was one of a kind and the outpouring of reflections here today is no surprise. He will be greatly missed.
Om and I first met over 20 years ago when I visited his SF office to demo a new search product. He almost kicked me out. Not because of the product - he dug it. But because I was using a ThinkPad instead of a Mac. Wouldn’t stop dissing me about it no matter how many times I explained it was company issued. I ditched the ThinkPad.
We had so many great times over the years, especially talking product, publicly and privately. He had artisanal tastes in technology and I always wanted his opinion, even if it was harsh. But every conversation started and ended with us talking about family, friends and life. He was also tied for first place with the late great @blakekrik for his use of the term “dude.” (Not surprisingly they were good friends.)
We tried hard to buy GigaOm for CNET/CBSi back in 2014, but it didn’t work out. We were both bummed. But looking through @chrismichel’s pics you can see how rich of a life he led over the last decade. So probably for the best he wasn’t focused on tech coverage day to day.
Like a lot of you I went back to my Om text string when I saw the news this morning. I’d asked him for his thoughts on something we had just launched. His last text: “How’s your family?”
It is with profound sadness that we share the news of Om Malik’s passing.
It’s difficult to state the impact that @om had on all of our lives at True.
Om was the first Founder we funded when we started True. In our Presidio office, Om discussed his idea for a new type of media company. That idea would later become GigaOm.
Om was a brilliant Founder, an amazing teammate and Partner at True, a prolific writer, a gifted photographer, and a sage and valuable advisor to so many in the technology ecosystem.
Om was brilliant, thoughtful, humorous, profoundly kind, and deeply curious. He was also relentless when he had an idea or story. Om was brave - he never shied away from sharing his views or pushing for the truth.
We were very, very lucky to call Om our Partner and friend at True for these last many years.
For today, we simply encourage you to take a moment to remember this beautiful soul and great thinker who was in our midst. He would ask us to slow down a bit. Om would want us to think deeper, express our love for one another a lot more.
Above all else, Om wanted us all to retain our humanity and care for each other in our brilliant quest to rebuild the world.
We love you Om.
Team True
