Instead of scouring the web for a recap of a TV show, which frequently risks inadvertently revealing key plot points, Prime Video's latest feature goals to spare viewers from encountering spoilers.
Amazon announced on Monday marked the launch of “X-Ray Recaps,” a generative AI-powered feature that creates concise summaries of entire seasons, individual episodes and even parts of episodes. In particular, the corporate claims that protections have been put in place to be certain that the AI ​​doesn’t generate spoilers, so you possibly can fully enjoy your favorite series without fear of encountering unwanted information.
The recent feature is an expansion of the streamer's existing X-ray feature, which displays information whenever you pause the screen, similar to solid details and other bits and pieces.
To use recaps, visit a TV show's details page. There you need to use a brand new rewind icon to select from three options: recap of the present episode, recap of your entire season to date, or recap of the previous season.
X-Ray Recaps is currently in beta and can initially only be available to Fire TV customers within the US. At launch, users will have the opportunity to access the feature across all of Amazon MGM Studios' original titles, including “Daisy Jones & the Six,” “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” “The Wheel of Time” and “The Boys.”
It will likely be available on additional devices at the tip of the 12 months.
As the corporate explained in its blog post, the feature uses a mixture of custom AI models (built with Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker) to investigate videos, captions and dialogue and describe necessary events, conversations and other information.
Amazon also noted that the feature is fully personalized to suit the precise moment you're watching. Whether you're just a couple of minutes right into a recent episode, halfway through a season, or returning to a show you've forgotten, X-Ray Recaps can deliver short snippets of scenes that unfold in real time.
Prime Video's announcement follows rival Google TV's release of AI-generated summaries, an identical tool that creates short summaries of TV shows and films.
