What’s happened? Amazon is rolling out a new Alexa+ trick on Fire TV that lets you jump straight to a specific movie scene on Prime Video just by describing it in everyday language. You do not need to remember the exact time stamp, actor, or dialogue. Just say what you remember about the moment, and Alexa+ will fast-forward you there.
- Works on Prime Video movies and shows across tens of thousands of indexed scenes.
- Available on compatible Fire TV devices and Echo speakers for videos that are included with Prime subscription or rented.
This is important because: It is an AI feature built on Amazon Bedrock that uses several large language models, including Amazon Nova and Anthropic Claude. When you say something like “Jump to the card scene in Love Actually” or “Take me to the boulder chase in Raiders of the Lost Ark,” here’s what Alexa+ does:
- Figures out which movie you are talking about, even if you never mention the title or actor names.
- Uses Prime Video’s X-Ray data, captions, and visual understanding to map your description to what is happening in each scene.
- Jumps to the matching timestamp on Prime Video and starts playing from there.
This is part of a broader AI push inside Prime Video, which now also generates short recap videos for TV shows so you can instantly catch up before jumping into a new episode.
Why should I care? This scene finder ability comes alongside other viewing features that Alexa+ is picking up. While you are watching, you can:
- Ask what else an actor has been in, or get soundtrack details and trivia.
- Get recommendations across other services like Sling TV, DIRECTV, and Fubo based on what you just watched.
- Check live sports scores, player stats, or jump to highlights from recent games.
OK, what’s next? If you are the friend who always says, “wait, you have to see this one bit,” this feature is basically built for you.
- Whether you love showing off funny moments, revisiting classics, or jumping straight to the best fight scenes, this new feature makes Prime Video feel more intuitive and personal.
