Amazon has just made it easier for Prime Video subscribers to navigate their favorite films with its new Alexa+ feature called "find-a-scene." This innovative tool allows users to voice command a specific moment in a movie, and Alexa will seamlessly transport them there.
To access this feature, simply say something like "Jump to the card scene in Love Actually" or "Jump to the Ozdust ballroom scene in Wicked with Glinda," and Alexa+ will identify the relevant film. If you don't mention the title, it can still pinpoint the correct movie based on your description.
So, how does it work? For starters, Alexa+ uses its visual understanding capabilities and captions to analyze each scene, ensuring that users are taken directly to the desired moment. This technology is built on Amazon's X-Ray feature in Prime Video, which utilizes large language models such as Amazon Nova and Anthropic Claude.
Currently, Alexa+ has indexed thousands of scenes across numerous movies and TV shows available on Prime Video, including those you can purchase or rent. However, it's unclear how many users will actually take advantage of this feature, as watching movies is often a more linear experience, starting from the beginning. Additionally, YouTube also exists as an alternative for viewers seeking specific scenes.
Despite these potential limitations, Alexa+ represents a significant advancement in voice-powered navigation and visual understanding technology. As Amazon continues to expand its capabilities, users can expect even more innovative features like this one to become available on Prime Video.

! Can you imagine just shouting out what scene you want to jump to in a movie and having Alexa transport you straight there? Mind blown, right? I think this is going to revolutionize the way we watch movies and TV shows. No more scrolling through hours of content or trying to find that one specific scene... it's like having your own personal film butler 
! Of course, it might take some getting used to not watching from start to finish, but I'm all for innovation and making our viewing experience more convenient 
. Can't wait to see what other awesome features Amazon comes up with next 
!
This new "find-a-scene" feature is literally a game changer for Prime Video subscribers 
. Did u know that Alexa+ has already indexed THOUSANDS of scenes across movies and TV shows? 
It's like having an entire library of movies at ur fingertips, literally! 
. But let's talk stats... According to Amazon, 70% of users say they're more likely to watch a movie if they know exactly which scene to start at 
. And with Alexa+ using advanced visual understanding capabilities and captions, it's like having a personal movie concierge 
. YouTube might have the same features, but this is Amazon we're talking about... The King of streaming! 
. But for real though, the tech behind it is pretty impressive - like, who knew Alexa could actually understand what we're saying and pinpoint those exact scenes? 
. I'm all about trying out new features and Alexa+ sounds like a total blast! 
I love how they've used AI technology to make this possible - it's crazy what's possible when humans and machines work together 
. One thing that might be a bit tricky for some users is remembering the exact title of the movie, but hey, maybe that'll become second nature after using Alexa+ a few times 
.
gotta try this out and see how long it takes me to actually use it tho lol
? A girl can dream, right?
It's still cool tech though, and it's awesome that Alexa+ is getting better at understanding visual stuff... we might see some wild features come out of this 
I'm so excited about this new feature! Finding a specific scene in your fave movie is literally the best thing ever 
, can't wait to see what other awesome features they come up with next 
. But let's think about the implications here... what does this say about our society's values? Are we valuing convenience and accessibility over traditional linear storytelling? 
I mean, do we really want to jump into the middle of a scene without knowing how it gets there? It's like skipping straight to the cliffhanger in a game 
. And what about the impact on creators and filmmakers who pour their hearts into crafting an entire narrative? Are they just being reduced to individual scenes for our convenience? 
!
This feature is literally a game changer for movie nights! 
. And can't wait to see what other innovative features Amazon comes up with!
