Amazon Prime Video rolls out AI-powered video recaps for top shows
Amazon Prime Video just dropped "Video Recaps," a new feature that uses generative AI to create quick video summaries of previous seasons.
Launched on November 19 and currently in beta for shows like Fallout, Jack Ryan, and Upload, it's designed to help you catch up fast—no more endless scrolling or reading.
What makes 'Video recaps' cool?
Instead of plain text, you get synced audio-visual highlights that walk you through key moments.
It's free for all Prime subscribers and feels more like a mini-movie trailer than a boring recap.
How does it stack up against other streamers?
While YouTube TV uses AI to spotlight sports highlights and Netflix leans on AI for special effects, Amazon is the first major streamer using AI just to help you remember what happened last season.
It's a fresh way to stay in the loop without missing a beat.
