Prime Video, Amazon’s streaming service, is now using AI to create short, movie-style recaps of shows. These recaps are meant to help viewers quickly remember what happened in previous seasons before starting a new one.
As a total movie and TV buff, I’m really excited about Prime Video’s new ‘Video Recaps’ feature. Basically, it uses AI to create little summaries of shows – think key scenes, snippets of dialogue, and music – all narrated by an AI voice. Apparently, it’s a big deal technologically; Prime Video’s VP of Technology, Gérard Medioni, called it a truly innovative use of AI in streaming. He also said it shows how much Prime Video cares about making watching things easier and more fun for us viewers.
Right now, we’re testing this feature with a limited group of viewers in the U.S. It’s available for certain English-language Amazon Originals, like Fallout, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Upload, Bosch, and The Rig.
Video Recaps are now available on TVs and streaming devices, and we’re adding support for even more devices in the coming months. You can find a recap of any show on its details page by clicking the “Recap” button, and you can choose to view a video summary or a text summary – whichever you prefer.
As a movie and TV buff, I was already a fan of Prime Video’s X-Ray Recaps – those spoiler-free text summaries were super helpful! But this new feature, Video Recaps, takes things to a whole new level. Where X-Ray just gave you the story beats in text, and smartly stopped before spoiling anything you hadn’t seen, Video Recaps actually show you what happened with clips, sound, and everything. It’s a much more engaging way to catch up or refresh your memory.
As a film and TV buff, I’m fascinated by how Amazon creates those quick season recap videos. Basically, they use AI to really understand the story – figuring out the key plot points and how each character changes. Then, the AI doesn’t just throw clips together; it carefully selects the most important scenes, adds music and dialogue, and even generates a voiceover to make it feel like a polished, mini-movie. It’s a surprisingly cinematic way to get back into a show!
