Google allowed different users to post questions and also pay researchers to find and write detailed answers. The researchers were scrutinized and approved by Google, and the answers were written by humans, not generated by artificial intelligence. The answers were categorized in different categories like technology, history, education, sports, science, etc. The users could browse previously answered questions in different categories—like technology, history, health, and science. However, Google closed the service in 2006 because free and user-generated question and answer platforms like Yahoo! Answers, Quora, and Reddit became more popular.
