Amazon has announced it is using generative AI to provide a Video Recap service for shows on its streaming platform.

Video Recaps use AI to identify a show’s most important plot points, combining them with synchronised voice narration, dialogue snippets and music to create a visual summary that refresh viewers for a new season.

“Video Recaps marks a groundbreaking application of generative AI for streaming,” commented Gérard Medioni, vice president of technology at Prime Video. “This first-of-its-kind feature demonstrates Prime Video’s ongoing commitment to innovation and making the viewing experience more accessible and enjoyable for customers.”

Video Recaps is available on select English-language Prime Original series in the US, including Fallout, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Upload, Bosch and The Rig. Customers can access the experience via a connected TV, with support for additional devices rolling out in the coming months.
