Amazon Fire TV Devices to Receive AI-Powered Search Feature for Personalized Content Recommendations

Amazon Fire TV Devices to Receive AI-Powered Search Feature for Enhanced Content Discovery

Amazon Fire TV devices are set to receive an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered upgrade, facilitating easier exploration of new shows and movies for users. The e-commerce giant is incorporating its proprietary AI model into its search feature, enabling users to search for content based on genre, plot, and more. Termed as a personalized content recommendation feature, Amazon has initiated the rollout of the AI search feature in the US, available in the English language.

Amazon Fire TV's AI Search Feature: Functionality Overview

In a newsroom announcement, Amazon referenced Nielsen's 2023 State of Play report, which revealed that the "average streaming customer spends more than 10 minutes searching for options each time they access their streaming services."

Many individuals have likely encountered situations where they desire to watch something new but struggle to find content that captures their interest. This process can be time-consuming, particularly considering the extensive catalogs of movies and TV shows on most streaming platforms. To address this issue, the tech giant is integrating AI capabilities into its search feature.

Enhanced Functionality of Amazon Fire TV's Search Feature

The recent update does not alter the appearance of the search feature. However, owners of Fire TV devices with Fire OS 6 or later will now have the ability to discover relevant results for intricate search queries like "Show me psychological thrillers with surprise endings." This capability is made possible by one of Amazon's in-house large language models. The specific AI model utilized for enabling this feature was not disclosed by the company.

Utilizing Amazon Fire TV's New AI Search Feature

With this enhanced capability, users can search for movies and shows based on various criteria such as topics, genres, plots, characters, actors, and even quotes. The feature presents results from Prime Video as well as other subscription libraries accessible to the user (such as Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, etc.), ensuring they only view content already available to them for free. Moreover, the AI search feature is supported by Alexa, allowing users to verbally request content recommendations instead of typing them.

Rollout Details of the AI Search Feature for Amazon Fire TV

The feature is currently being deployed to users in the US, available in English, on select Fire TV devices running Fire OS 6 and later. It will gradually expand to all eligible devices over the next few weeks. However, Amazon has not disclosed any timelines for a global release of this feature or support for additional languages.
