Prime Video Rolls Out AI Video Recaps for Select U.S. Originals

The beta feature uses generative tools to assemble short, narrated season summaries on connected TVs.

Overview

  • Viewers can launch the summaries from a new Recap button on a show's detail page when navigating to the next season.
  • The initial slate includes Fallout, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Upload, Bosch, and The Rig.
  • Amazon says a multistep AI process selects key moments and stitches clips with music, dialogue, and AI voiceover, building on 2024’s spoiler‑aware X‑Ray text recaps.
  • The rollout is limited to the U.S. on living‑room devices for now, and Amazon says additional device support will follow; no timeline was given for other markets.
  • Creators and observers are questioning how the system defines “key” plot points and warning about potential inaccuracies, with Amazon yet to detail its guardrails.
