\n\tPrime Video<\/a> already offers AI-generated text recaps of TV shows<\/a>. Now Amazon<\/a> is using AI to add sight, sound and motion to the mix.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe company on Wednesday is launching Video Recaps on Prime Video, which Amazon says provide \u201ccomprehensive season recaps\u201d to bring viewers up to speed on select shows. The Video Recaps feature uses AI to summarize a show\u2019s key plot points with \u201ctheatrical-quality video\u201d that includes synchronized voice narration, snippets of dialogue and music.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe feature is available now in beta for select English-language Prime original series in the U.S., including \u201cFallout,\u201d \u201cTom Clancy\u2019s Jack Ryan,\u201d \u201cUpload,\u201d \u201cBosch\u201d and \u201cThe Rig.\u201d Prime Video customers can access Video Recaps initially on connected-TV devices, with additional devices supporting the feature slated to roll out in the coming months.<\/p>\n

\n\tOne year ago, Prime Video released X-Ray Recaps<\/a>, an AI-powered feature that creates \u201cspoiler-free\u201d text summaries of key cliffhangers, character-driven plot points, and other important details. X-Ray Recaps only summarize up to the point where a viewer last watched a series, designed to prevent you from learning spoiler plot points.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cVideo Recaps marks a groundbreaking application of generative AI for streaming,\u201d G\u00e9rard Medioni, VP of technology at Prime Video, said in a statement. \u201cThis first-of-its-kind feature demonstrates Prime Video\u2019s ongoing commitment to innovation and making the viewing experience more accessible and enjoyable for customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPrime Video\u2019s Video Recaps are available for supported series via a \u201cRecap\u201d button on the show\u2019s detail page when a customer navigates to the next season. Once selected, customers will see any available recaps for that title, either video- or text-based, and from there they can select their preferred recap option.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to Amazon, creating each video recap is a multistep process. Using generative AI, the Video Recaps feature analyzes a season\u2019s key plot points and character arcs to \u201cdeeply understand the most pivotal moments that will resonate with viewers as they enter the next season,\u201d per the company. AI then finds the most compelling video clips and pairs them with audio effects, dialog and music. Those are stitched together with an AI-generated voiceover narration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prime Video already offers AI-generated text recaps of TV shows.
