Ray, its multifaceted product feature, to offer recaps of episodes or full seasons of Amazon MGM Studios Original series.

Amazon is turning to artificial intelligence to help Prime Video users stay current on shows they're watching. The streamer has added AI-generated recaps for some of its original series, pitching it as a way for viewers to get back into a show they haven't seen for a while - whether by choice or because of a long hiatus between seasons - or just to refresh their memories.

X-Ray Recaps builds on Prime Video's existing X-Ray feature, which provides viewers with additional information about the show or movie, like trivia, cast details, soundtrack information, and production insights. You can access the X-Ray feature by pausing whatever you're watching and finding it in the menu at the bottom of the screen.

Instead of scouring the internet for a summary of a TV show, which often risks unintentionally revealing major plot points, Prime Video’s latest feature aims to save viewers from encountering any spoilers.

Now Amazon Prime Video is extending that X-Ray feature a step further by summarizing full episodes or even entire seasons of TV through the push of a button. The company is calling it “X-Ray Recaps,” and it’s available now in Beta version on Amazon MGM Originals and for Fire TV users specifically.

From the latest releases to celebrated classics.
