Amazon has launched a new AI-powered feature for Fire TV that lets you jump to specific moments of a movie by describing the scene to Alexa Plus<\/a>. The feature, which was previously announced during Amazon\u2019s hardware event in September<\/a>, works with Prime Video and builds on the X-Ray feature that provides information about the content you\u2019re watching.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur number one mission at Fire TV is getting you to what you want to watch \u2014 fast,\u201d Amazon says in its announcement. \u201cJust describe a movie scene like you would to a friend, and Alexa Plus will jump directly to that specific moment \u2014 no more searching required.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Alexa Plus feature \u201cworks with thousands of Prime Video movies by understanding scene descriptions, character names, and famous quotes,\u201d according to Amazon. Users can skip to a scene by mentioning details about characters, actors, locations, and more, such as asking to find \u201cthe card scene in Love Actually,\u201d or \u201cwhere Joshua asks, \u2018shall we play a game?\u2019\u201d in WarGames.<\/p>\n

The feature is designed to make it easier and faster to locate and watch scenes compared to manually fast-forwarding through movies, giving Fire TV users fewer reasons to search for the same content on other platforms like YouTube. Amazon says the feature utilizes a variety of AI models, including Amazon Nova and Anthropic Claude, and can identify movies without the title being included in the descriptions.<\/p>\n

The Fire TV feature is currently limited to indexed scenes in select movies that have been purchased or rented from Prime Video, or are available to stream via a Prime membership subscription. Amazon says that the feature will soon be expanded to include more scenes and TV shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amazon has launched a new AI-powered feature for Fire TV that lets you jump to specific moments of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":322903,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[62,971,11222,49,48,75,44,5131,64,61],"class_list":["post-322902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ai","tag-amazon","tag-amazon-alexa","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-news","tag-streaming","tag-tech","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322902","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=322902"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322902\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/322903"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=322902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=322902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=322902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
