O Amazon Prime Video is introducing a new feature called “X-Ray Recaps“, which will use artificial intelligence (AI) to recap episodes and entire seasons of series.
This new feature promises to make life easier for viewers who have a busy routine and are unable to keep up with all the details of the programs they watch. Additionally, it will be a useful tool for those who want to watch new seasons but need a quick refresher on what happened previously.

How X-Ray Recaps will work
The feature, announced this Monday (04/11), is currently in beta phase and only available in the United States, but the expectation is that, with the success of the initial phase, it will gradually be made available in other global markets.
With X-Ray Recaps, users will be able to see complete summaries of the main events of a series, including the most important moments, cliffhangers, and character development, which helps to remember critical points before moving on to new episodes.
But isn’t there a risk that the user will come across a spoiler? Amazon has ensured that the summaries will be presented in a way that does not compromise the user experience, ensuring that there will be no unwanted spoilers.
This makes X-Ray Recaps a practical solution for those who are always busy but want to keep up with the latest on their favorite series without missing anything important. This type of tool is especially useful for those who like to always be up to date, but don’t have time to review old episodes, thus saving time and making the watching experience even more convenient.
Technology behind the novelty
The technology behind this feature is powered by Amazon Bedrock and managed by Amazon Web Services (AWS), using custom AI models trained on Amazon SageMaker. This combination of technologies ensures that the summary is accurate and adapted to the specific content of the series, offering a clear view of events without confusing viewers.
X-Ray Recaps will be available on the Prime Video details page or while the user is watching a series, allowing easy access to the summary through an option next to cast information and other extras, such as details about actors and trivia of production.
Furthermore, X-Ray Recaps doesn’t just provide a simple overview of what happened. It also highlights significant moments that could have an impact on future episodes, providing insights into character development and narrative arcs.
Amazon has not yet announced when the feature will be expanded to other countries, including Brazil, but fans’ expectations are high. Until then, American viewers will be able to take advantage of this functionality to enrich the way they consume content on Prime Video, and it wouldn’t be surprising if other streaming platforms followed suit and developed similar solutions for their users.
