Amazon Prime Video has brought a major upgrade to its X-Ray function and launched a new AI smart assistant-X-Ray Recaps. The editor of Downcodes will take you to understand this exciting new feature, how it changes your movie-watching experience, and the technical support behind it.
X-Ray has always been one of Prime Video’s most popular features, capable of displaying actor profiles, background music, filming behind-the-scenes and other rich information in real time. The X-Ray Recaps launched this time takes this experience to a new level through generative AI technology.
According to Amazon's official introduction, X-Ray Recaps can intelligently generate personalized content summaries based on the audience's current viewing progress. Whether it is a summary of the entire season, a review of a single episode, or a detailed explanation of a certain episode, it can be easily processed. This means that when you can't keep up with the plot, or you have stopped watching again for a long time, you can quickly get back to watching the movie.
On a technical level, behind this feature is Amazon Cloud Technology’s (AWS) Bedrock service. By combining the Bedrock model and a custom AI model trained on Amazon SageMaker, the system can simultaneously analyze video footage, subtitles, and dialogue to generate accurate scene descriptions. What’s even more considerate is that Amazon has also set up a spoiler prevention mechanism to ensure that the summary content is concise and to the point and will not ruin the movie-watching experience.
Currently, X-Ray Recaps has been opened to Fire TV users for testing in the United States and is expected to support more devices within the year. The first batch of supported content includes original series from Amazon MGM Studios such as "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and "Blackjack."
Users who want to experience this new feature can find it on the Prime Video details page or the X-Ray ribbon on the playback interface. Users can choose different summary methods according to their needs, such as watching a review of the entire season of episodes.
This upgrade not only demonstrates Amazon’s technical strength in the field of AI, but also brings an unprecedented smart movie viewing experience to viewers. For viewers who often follow dramas, this is undoubtedly a major benefit worth looking forward to.
The launch of X-Ray Recaps marks an important step for Amazon in improving user viewing experience. It is believed that more similar AI functions will be applied to streaming media platforms in the future, bringing users more convenient and smarter entertainment. experience.
