"Yahoo may not be the most headlined company in tech anymore, but its reach can't be denied. With nearly 250 million monthly users across the country and 700 million globally, it's still the second most popular email client in the world, and the third most popular search engine in the U.S. (even though that search engine has technically been powered by either Bing or Google since 2009)."
"In short, Yahoo Scout is a new, free AI search engine (it's also an omnipresent button across Yahoo verticals like Finance, Sports, and Mail) that's there to summarize the performance of a business or break down the key moments of a game. In one mode, it's essentially Yahoo's version of Claude or ChatGPT. (Yahoo Answers for the AI era!) In the other, it's an AI-translate button accompanying Yahoo's editorial content, boiling down articles into takeaways."
Yahoo retains massive scale with nearly 250 million monthly U.S. users and 700 million users worldwide, remaining the world’s second-most-popular email client and the U.S. third-most-used search engine. The company moved to private ownership in 2021 after a prior $125 billion valuation and now emphasizes a broad operational turnaround. Yahoo Scout debuts in beta as a free AI search product integrated across Yahoo verticals to summarize business performance, break down game moments, condense editorial articles into takeaways, and summarize comment sentiment. Scout offers both a conversational assistant mode and an AI-translate mode designed to serve Yahoo users natively.
