Prime Video's New Recap Feature Aims to Be Your Best Friend for Catching Up
Prime Video’s new AI feature creates theatrical-quality recaps for select originals on connected TVs, helping viewers quickly catch up between seasons in a US beta rollout.
- On Wednesday, Prime Video announced the launch of Video Recaps, rolling out in beta in the United States on living-room/connected-TV devices.
- Using generative AI, the feature builds on last year’s X-Ray Recaps, which provided spoiler-free text summaries to help viewers catch up between seasons.
- According to Prime Video, each recap uses Amazon Bedrock models to pre-generate roughly three-minute videos with AI-generated voiceover, dialogue, music, and effects, as seen in Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan season 3.
- Viewers can roll into regular programming after recaps, while creators worry about spoilers and impacts on editors, showrunners and producers; Amazon announced a $15 billion bond offering and $125 billion AI spending in 2025.
- Prime Video customers can use Video Recaps on connected-TV devices, with support expanding to phones in coming months; the U.S.-only beta launches next week, while Netflix and YouTube TV explore generative AI.
