Amazon Fire TV Stick users are just realizing they can access free upgrade that helps you find what to watch faster
ARTIFICIAL intelligence is helping Amazon Fire TV Sticks offer a more personalized experience.
Amazon announced some of the new AI features last year and it's worth taking full advantage.
The tech giant : "The upgraded Fire TV experience materially enhances search, browse, and recommendations by combining generative AI with Fire TV's extensive entertainment content and app library—enabling customers to find and discover content in a natural, contextual, and conversational way.
"Customers will be able to ask Alexa nuanced or open-ended questions about TV shows and movies, helping them find what they’re looking for using natural and conversational language."
By talking to Alexa via your Fire Stick remote, you can also have a list of content recommendations appear on screen for you.
Amazon says: "Customers can also simply tell Alexa what they are in the mood to watch, and choose from a selection of recommendations personalized to their Fire TV profiles."
You'll need an Amazon Alexa Voice Remote to access these features.
Older Fire TV Stick devices didn't come with a remote that you can talk into.
Using a voice remote to talk to Alexa is easy.
All you have to do is hold down the Alexa button.
