Amazon Fire TV is rolling out a new Alexa+ feature that lets viewers jump directly to any scene in a film simply by describing it, even if you don’t mention the movie title at all.

This new “Jump to Scene” function spans tens of thousands of scenes across thousands of movies on Prime Video and will eventually expand to TV series. Viewers can say something as specific as:
“Jump to the scene when John McClane says ‘come out to the coast, we’ll get together, have a few laughs,’” or “Jump to the boulder chase scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark,” and Alexa+ will take them right there, using AI models trained to recognize visual cues, captions, characters, and plot beats.
One of the biggest advantages of streaming and home entertainment tech is the accessibility and ease it creates for viewers of all kinds, especially those with mobility or accessibility limitations. This update pushes that convenience even further.
Which begs the question:
If you could have any new tech feature added to the streaming platforms you use most, what would it be? (Accessibility tools, smarter search, creator-focused features, interactive options, new viewing modes — anything goes.)
Curious to hear what innovations you think would move the needle.
Creator-focused features and interactive options, Ashley Renee Smith.

Weird. But I've become so skilled at fast-forwarding and rewinding... lol. Innovations: I'd like Peacock to finally get their act together and allow you to remove things from Continue Watching, and I'd like all streamers to add more new things to watch each month like they used to... You can literally see them trade the same films to one another, or themselves, over and over now. Does anyone else remember how awesome HBO MAX was when it first started? They had a lot going on in there. Besides that, I think they work fine as is.
