"Amazon has launched a new AI-powered feature for Fire TV that lets you jump to specific moments of a movie by describing the scene to Alexa Plus. The feature, which was previously announced during Amazon's hardware event in September, works with Prime Video and builds on the X-Ray feature that provides information about the content you're watching."
""Our number one mission at Fire TV is getting you to what you want to watch - fast," Amazon says in its announcement. "Just describe a movie scene like you would to a friend, and Alexa Plus will jump directly to that specific moment - no more searching required.""
"The Alexa Plus feature "works with thousands of Prime Video movies by understanding scene descriptions, character names, and famous quotes," according to Amazon. Users can skip to a scene by mentioning details about characters, actors, locations, and more, such as asking to find "the card scene in Love Actually," or "where Joshua asks, 'shall we play a game?'" in WarGames."
"The Fire TV feature is currently limited to indexed scenes in select movies that have been purchased or rented from Prime Video, or are available to stream via a Prime membership subscription. Amazon says that the feature will soon be expanded to include more scenes and TV shows."
Alexa Plus on Fire TV enables users to jump to specific movie moments by describing scenes to Alexa. The feature integrates with Prime Video and builds on X-Ray content information. Alexa Plus understands scene descriptions, character names, and famous quotes, and can locate scenes by references to characters, actors, locations, or dialogue. The system uses multiple AI models including Amazon Nova and Anthropic Claude, and can identify films even without an explicit title in the query. The feature currently supports indexed scenes in select purchased, rented, or Prime-available movies, with planned expansion to more scenes and TV shows.
