By Amazon is set to use generative A.I. to create recaps for TV shows on its Prime Video service – starting with its own original series.
Titled ‘X-Ray Recaps’, the system creates text of brief, easy-to-digest summaries of full seasons of TV shows, single episodes or specific segments of episodes.
In the latter case, these descriptions can get down to the exact minute of where you are watching. This way, the company says it can avoid revealing spoilers.
At launch, the recaps will work on all Amazon MGM Studios original series including “The Boys,” “The Wheel of Time,” “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and more.
Adam Gray, VP of product at Prime Video, said in a statement:
“We’re directly addressing a common problem customers face when streaming content: forgetting where they left off. With this context-aware functionality, Prime Video will deliver summaries of memorable moments and important plot points, so our customers can quickly jump back into what they were watching or rediscover why they fell in love with a series in the first place.”
Currently in beta, the option is available now to users of Amazon’s Fire TV connected devices in the U.S. with support for additional devices coming by the end of the year. Users can access X-Ray Recaps from the Prime Video detail page or during playback on the X-Ray experience.
