Alexa+ on Prime Video can put you right in the scene you want to rewatch

What 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 by simply describing it in everyday language. You don’t have to remember the exact timestamp, actors or dialogue. Just say what you remember in that moment and Alexa+ will quickly get you there.

• Works on Prime Video movies and shows with tens of thousands of indexed scenes.
• Available on compatible Fire TV devices and Echo speakers for videos included with Prime subscription or rented.

This is important because: It is an AI feature based on Amazon Bedrock that uses several large language models, including Amazon Nova and Anthropic Claude. If you say something like “Jump to the map scene in Love Actually” or “Take me to the boulder hunt in Raiders of the Lost Ark,” Alexa+ does the following:

• Figures out what movie you’re talking about, even if you never mention the title or the actors’ names.
• Uses Prime Video’s X-ray data, captions, and visual understanding to match your description to what’s happening in each scene.
• Jump to the appropriate timestamp on Prime Video and start playing from there.

This is part of a broader AI push within Prime Video, which now also generates short recap videos for TV shows so you can catch up instantly before jumping into a new episode.

Why should I care? This scene search function comes along with other viewing functions that Alexa+ handles. While you watch you can:

• Ask where else an actor has appeared or get details and interesting facts about the soundtrack.
• Get recommendations for other services like Sling TV, DIRECTV, and Fubo based on what you just watched.
• View live sports scores and player stats or jump to highlights from recent games.

Okay, what’s next? If you’re the friend who always says, “Wait, you have to check this out,” this feature is basically for you.

• Whether you love showing off funny moments, revisiting classics, or skipping straight to the best fight scenes, this new feature makes Prime Video more intuitive and personal.
