What is the X-Ray Recaps tool?
A generative AI-powered tool called X-Ray Recaps generates concise, easily understandable summaries of entire TV show seasons, individual episodes, and even segments of episodes, all tailored to the very moment you are watching.
X-Ray Recaps provides brief textual summaries of important cliffhangers, character-driven plot points, and other details that you can access at any time during your viewing experience, whether you’re halfway through a season, a few minutes into a new episode, or took a break from watching a series and need a refresher.
X-Ray Recaps expands on Prime Video’s already-existing X-Ray features, which include trivia and facts on the cast, soundtrack, production, and other elements to help viewers delve further into what they’re viewing.

How does it operate?
Amazon Bedrock, a fully managed AWS solution for developing and growing generative AI applications with fundamental models, powers X-Ray Recaps. To produce comprehensive descriptions of significant events, locations, timings, and conversations, X-Ray Recaps analyzes different video segments with dialogue or subtitles using a combination of Amazon Bedrock models and custom AI models trained on Amazon SageMaker. Additionally, guardrails are used to guarantee that succinct and spoiler-free summaries are produced.
Where to Look for X-Ray Recaps?
