Looks like Amazon has decided to suck all the fun out of watching those “Everything you need to know before watching…” recap videos on YouTube. Amazon’s Prime Video is introducing a new generative AI-powered feature designed to get you up to speed on a show without having to leave the platform. The new tool, dubbed “X-Ray Recaps,” can create text summaries of “full seasons of TV shows, single episodes, and even pieces of episodes.”

The company’s official blog post states that X-Ray Recaps analyzes video segments, subtitles, and dialogue to generate detailed descriptions of key events, characters, and plot points. Guardrails are reportedly in place to ensure these AI-generated summaries don’t reveal too much, keeping major twists under wraps.
