The app generates short summaries of entire seasons or an episode or even portions of an episode without risking any spoilers.
Amazon Prime Video has launched a new feature called X-Ray Recaps to help viewers catch up quickly on shows. The app generates short summaries of entire seasons or an episode or even portions of an episode without risking any spoilers.
Announcing the launch of the app via a blog post, the company said: “Whether you’re a few minutes into a new episode, halfway through a season, or took a break from watching a series and need a refresher, X-Ray Recaps delivers short textual snippets of key cliffhangers, character-driven plot points, and other details that can be accessed at any point in your viewing experience”.
X-Recaps is built on Amazon Bedrock, their AWS service which is specialised to build and scale AI apps. It uses custom AI models to analyse the content and generate these summaries. Amazon also applied guardrails so the text is concise and spoiler-free.
Currently, the feature is in beta and will be released to Fire TV customers in the U.S. X-Ray Recaps will then be expanded to other devices by the end of 2024.
