Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Amazon has turned to AI to create recaps for TV shows on Prime Video — starting with its own original series — in a way the company claims won’t risk revealing spoilers.

On Monday, Amazon announced X-Ray Recaps on Prime Video, touting the generative-AI-based feature as “delivering a new way to get up to speed without wasting time or risking spoilers.” The system creates text of “brief, easy-to-digest summaries” of full seasons of TV shows, single episodes or specific segments of episodes “down to the exact minute of where you are watching,” the company said.

At launch, Prime Video viewers can use X-Ray Recaps for all Amazon MGM Studios original series including “The Boys” (pictured above), “Upload,” “Daisy Jones & the Six,” “Mr.

and Mrs. Smith” and “The Wheel of Time.” X-Ray Recaps, currently in beta, is available now to users of Amazon’s Fire TV connected devices in the U.S.
