DeeperDive, Taboola's GenAI answer Engine for the open web, reaches nearly 7 million monthly active users eight months after launch, emerging as one of the largest AI Answer engines.

DeeperDive, Taboola's GenAI answer Engine for the open web, reaches nearly 7 million monthly active users eight months after launch, emerging as one of the largest AI Answer engines. By PR Newswire April 9, 2026 DeeperDive Adds Support For 6 Languages, Expanding Globally with Publishers Including Ouest France, El Nacional, Ynet and More HONG KONG, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Taboola today announced significant consumer momentum and global expansion for DeeperDive, its Generative AI "Answer Engine" that lives on many of the world's top publishers, including Gannett | USA Today Network, India Today, and BuzzFeed Asia. Since launching in general availability in late 2025, DeeperDive has seen rapid adoption among both publishers and readers across the open web. As a cornerstone of Taboola's Agentic roadmap, DeeperDive transforms publishers' trusted content into an interactive discovery experience, meeting the evolving expectations of readers by allowing them to explore stories with greater depth, trust, and a stronger sense of community. * Reaching nearly 7 million monthly active users: DeeperDive has quickly become part of the open web experience for millions of users exploring topics they care about. The most popular question categories include politics, sports, finance, entertainment, and shopping. Around 50% of user questions on DeeperDive are about the last 24 hours of news, entertainment and sports information. Advertisement * 1 in 6 readers engaging with DeeperDive: While typical recirculation rates on the internet over the last 30 years have remained in the low single digits, publishers that have integrated DeeperDive are seeing as much as up to 17% user adoption. Some publishers are seeing 1 in 6 visitors actively ask questions about topics they care deeply about, turning passive reading into a highly engaged discovery experience. * DeeperDive users read a lot more content and drive some of the highest advertiser conversion rates on Taboola: Historically, when visitors read articles on publisher sites, the likelihood they continue on to another article has remained in the low single digits, typically resulting in just one or two articles read per visit. DeeperDive changes that dynamic. Once users enter the LLM experience, where they can ask questions, follow up, and explore suggested prompts, the likelihood that they choose to read an article rises to around than 20%. This deeper engagement not only increases content discovery but also leads to some of the highest advertiser conversion rates across the Taboola network. * Millions of reader questions each month now available to editorial teams: For the first time, editors can start their day with direct insight into what their audience is curious about. Through the DeeperDive dashboard, editorial teams can see millions of questions from readers, often exceeding 10 million questions per month. These insights help inform editorial coverage and guide homepage decisions toward the topics readers care about most. DeeperDive Goes Global with Publishers Ouest France, El Nacional, Ynet and more As part of DeeperDive's recent momentum, Taboola is also announcing global availability of the technology in new languages and regions. Publishers including Ouest France, El Nacional, and Ynet are joining Taboola for this new expansion that will see the technology available in French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. DeeperDive connects readers with trusted sources to explore topics they care about, directly within publisher sites. It brings the power of GenAI search engines directly onto publisher websites, tapping into years of proprietary, real-time, high-quality content created by journalists and editors across the open web. DeeperDive connects readers with trusted sources to explore topics they care about, directly within publisher sites "Publishers love DeeperDive because it brings the AI revolution directly into their own environments, enabling readers to ask questions, have conversations, and discover trusted content in entirely new ways," said Adam Singolda, CEO of Taboola. "In my career, I have never seen users adopt a new product at these levels while generating such strong engagement and advertiser performance." "I believe the AI landscape will ultimately be defined by two models: subscription LLMs and ad supported LLMs. With DeeperDive, we have the opportunity to build the largest ad supported LLM for the open web, free for publishers and free for users. At the same time, we're creating a powerful new supply opportunity for advertisers and a meaningful new revenue stream for publishers. People want more than answers. They want trusted content and to be part of a community. While direct AI engines are powerful, I will always prefer watching Knicks highlights on my favorite local or sports site or reading travel reviews from a trusted publication when planning a trip with my family. Experiences built around trusted content and community will only grow stronger over time." continued Singolda.

ever study of how GenAI Compares to Human Ads Busts the AI

First-ever study of how GenAI compares to human ads busts the ai-generated ads myth. 30 Mar 2026 Taboola & Columbia University Study Data Shows AI Wins by Appearing Authentically Human and Prioritizing Visual Trust Signals Project Agora, Taboola's (Nasdaq: TBLA) trusted exclusive partner in 25 markets, shared the findings of a major Taboola field study conducted in collaboration with researchers at Columbia University, Harvard University, Technical University of Munich, and Carnegie Mellon University. The research provides the first-ever look at how generative AI (GenAI) compares to human creativity in driving consumer action by analyzing large-scale real-world ad performance. While GenAI has revolutionized production speed and cost, its impact on actual performance has remained a subject of intense debate. The new study, titled, "AI Ads That Work: How AI Creative Stacks Up Against Humans," analyzed hundreds of thousands of live ads running on Realize, Taboola's performance advertising platform, totaling more than 500 million impressions and 3 million clicks. Key insights from the academic research include: GenAI ads perform just as well as human-made ads: AI-generated ads performed just as well as human-made ads. In raw data, AI ads saw a slightly higher average click-through-rate (CTR) (0.76%) compared to human ads (0.65%), though they performed comparably when researchers applied the tightest statistical controls. AI ads win the most when they don't "look" like AI: AI-generated ads that did not "look like AI" achieved the highest engagement of all groups, significantly outperforming both human-made ads and AI ads that were perceived as artificial. Human faces are the "secret ingredient" for trust: The study found that one of the most important factors in making an ad feel "human" and trustworthy was the presence of a large, clear human face. Interestingly, based on Taboola's best practices and policy restrictions, AI-generated ads were more likely to include these trust cues than their human-made counterparts. Brands no longer have to choose between speed and quality: AI-generated visuals increased or maintained click-through rates without reducing downstream conversion performance, proving that advertisers do not have to trade quality or conversions for production scale. Food, drink, and finance brands were among the first to adopt AI ads: Specific sectors; most notably, the "food and drink" and "personal finance" industries were early to adopt AI ads. "Taboola's platform provided us with a literal gold mine of real-world data that is simply unavailable in a lab setting. By analyzing over 500 million impressions, we were able to move past the hype of GenAI and uncover its real impact in large scale settings," said Oded Netzer, Vice Dean for Research, Columbia Business School. "Our findings prove that when AI is used to enhance human cues - like the trust found in a human face - it doesn't just match human performance; it often sets a new ceiling for engagement." Methodology The study utilized a quasi-experimental "sibling ads" approach, comparing matched pairs of AI-generated and human-made ads created by the same advertiser for the same campaign on the same day. This methodology allowed researchers to isolate the impact of the GenAI creative while controlling for external variables like the identity of the advertiser, timing, audience targeting, and landing pages.
