• Amazon Prime Video has launched a new AI-powered feature called X-Ray Recaps.
• X-Ray Recaps generates recap summaries of previous seasons or episodes of TV shows.
• Currently, the feature is only rolling out for Fire TV devices in the US.

Looks like Amazon has decided to suck all the fun out of watching those “Everything you need to know before watching…” recap videos on YouTube. Amazon’s Prime Video is introducing a new generative AI-powered feature designed to get you up to speed on a show without having to leave the platform. The new tool, dubbed “X-Ray Recaps,” can create text summaries of “full seasons of TV shows, single episodes, and even pieces of episodes.”

The company’s official blog post states that X-Ray Recaps analyzes video segments, subtitles, and dialogue to generate detailed descriptions of key events, characters, and plot points. Guardrails are reportedly in place to ensure these AI-generated summaries don’t reveal too much, keeping major twists under wraps.
