Amazon Prime Video is introducing a new feature: X-Ray Recaps. With the help of artificial intelligence, the function provides an automatic summary of series episodes and films. The aim is to provide viewers with a quick overview after longer breaks and to remind them of key plot points without giving away spoilers.
- AI-generated episode summaries for better orientation
- Focus on key plot points without spoilers
- Initially available for Prime Video Originals on Fire TV in the USA
Quick orientation for series and movies
X-Ray Recaps uses AI-supported analysis to capture and concisely summarize the key points of an episode or film. This is particularly aimed at series fans who want to get back into the action after a break without having to catch up on long episodes. The summaries are designed in such a way that only relevant points are addressed that promote understanding but do not reveal too much of the plot.
Currently, the feature is only available on Amazon MGM Studios Originals like Daisy Jones and the Six, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, The Wheel of Time and The Boys, and for now only for Fire TV users in the US. The recaps will be expanded to other regions and devices in the future.
Conclusion and availability
The introduction of X-Ray Recaps underlines Amazon’s efforts to enrich user experiences with practical functions. For Prime customers who want to enjoy their favorite series flexibly, this tool could also simplify the viewing experience internationally in the future. An international rollout and further details on availability are expected in the coming months.
