"At Amazon's fall hardware event, the company announced will bring its upgraded AI, Alexa+, to its Fire TV devices. With Alexa+, Fire TV users will have access to expanded capabilities, like the ability to ask the AI more complex questions, get more tailored recommendations, find specific scenes in movies, and more. For instance, Fire TV owners could previously ask Alexa+ for recommendations beyond basic questions, like "what's a good movie for a family movie night?""
"In addition, users can ask Alexa+ questions while they watch, including things like where something was filmed, where you know that actor from, questions about the soundtrack, or get behind-the-scenes trivia. During live sporting events, Alexa+ can tell you the score from your favorite team, share player stats, and help you find live events across streaming services like Prime Video, Sling TV, DirecTV, and Fubo. You can also ask for information about a prior game's highlights and commentary."
"Another feature will let you use Alexa+ to find the right scene in a movie or show, just by asking in natural language voice commands. Initially, this feature works with "thousands" of titles on Prime Video, with more coming soon across other platforms, Amazon said. Meanwhile, the Fire TV software interface will offer improvements in areas like its Channel Guide, Watchlist, Continue Watching row, and live TV and sports discovery features."
Alexa+ brings expanded voice-AI capabilities to Fire TV, enabling more complex questions, personalized recommendations, and natural-language scene searches. Users can ask contextual questions while watching, including filming locations, actor credits, soundtrack details, and behind-the-scenes trivia. During live sports, Alexa+ provides scores, player stats, and helps locate live events across multiple streaming services, plus prior-game highlights and commentary. The scene-search feature initially covers thousands of Prime Video titles with broader platform rollout planned. Fire TV software will gain improved Channel Guide, Watchlist, Continue Watching, and live TV/sports discovery. New Fire TV devices will be first to receive the Alexa+ upgrade.
