Prime Video will let you summon AI to recap what you're watching

amazon's Prime Video is getting a new ai-powered generative feature to help you catch up on a show. The new tool, called x-Ray Recaps, can create text summaries of “entire seasons of TV shows, individual episodes, and even episode snippets.” amazon-prime-video-x-ray-recaps”>the company says in a blog post.

x-Ray Recaps will be accessible from a show's details page or in x-Ray while watching something. The tool “analyzes multiple video segments, combined with subtitles or dialogue, to generate detailed descriptions of key events, places, moments, and conversations,” amazon says. amazon has also applied “guardrails” to help the feature avoid sharing spoilers and keep summaries concise.

x-Ray Recaps, which is a beta version, is coming to Fire TV devices starting today, with support for “additional devices” available later this year, amazon says. The feature, at launch, will work with all amazon MGM Studios original series.
