Alexa Jumps to Movie Scenes by Description
3 Dec
Summary
- New AI feature lets viewers skip to specific movie scenes.
- Users describe scenes to Alexa, which identifies moments.
- Feature uses visual understanding and large language models.
Fire TV has launched an innovative AI-driven feature that enables viewers to navigate directly to specific movie scenes using only verbal descriptions. This advancement, powered by Alexa+, aims to significantly streamline the process of finding desired moments within films on Prime Video.
Users can simply describe a scene to Alexa, mentioning key elements like character names, memorable quotes, or plot points. The AI then utilizes visual understanding and movie caption data, alongside large language models like Amazon Nova and Anthropic Claude, to accurately locate the requested scene. This capability extends even to identifying movies without their titles being explicitly mentioned.
This new functionality currently supports thousands of movie titles available through Prime membership or purchase on Prime Video. Amazon plans to expand this feature to include television shows and index an even larger library of scenes in the near future.
