Amazon Prime Video Gets X-Ray Recaps

In a newsroom jobAmazon has detailed new AI functionality for its Prime Video streaming platform. The company says X-Ray Recaps solves the biggest challenge viewers face: getting spoiler-free show recaps.

Often, people want to read a brief recap of a show to catch up on what’s happened since they last watched it. This could be for a show whose new season has just been released or for a show that a viewer wants to watch again after a long time. Although video and text recaps are available on third-party websites, they can often be difficult to find for the exact episode the viewer is watching and can be loaded with spoilers.

How Amazon Prime Video’s X-Ray Recaps Feature Works

Amazon Prime Video’s X-Ray Recaps uses generative AI to create brief summaries of entire seasons of TV shows, single episodes, and even specific segments of episodes, all personalized “down to the minute exact” of where the user is looking. These text snippets highlight cliffhangers, character-driven plot points, and crucial segments that are important to remember.

The company explained that the feature is powered by Amazon Bedrock, an Amazon Web Service (AWS) for building AI applications. X-Ray Recaps also uses custom AI models trained on Amazon SageMaker to analyze various video segments as well as caption data to generate summaries. “Safeguards are also applied to ensure concise and spoiler-free summaries are generated,” it adds in the message.

Currently, X-Ray Recaps is available in beta for Television on fire connected devices in the United States. Support for additional devices will be added by the end of the year. For now, the feature only supports Amazon MGM Studios original series such as Daisy Jones and the Six, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, The Wheel of Time and The Boys.
