Amazon Prime Video is set to transform its streaming platform in India with a major update designed to simplify navigation and enhance content discovery. The update is starting to roll out globally today and will be accessible to all customers in the coming weeks. This comprehensive overhaul is a direct response to customer feedback, aiming to deliver a more intuitive and enjoyable streaming journey.

Revamped Navigation for Seamless Content Discovery

A significant highlight of the update is the redesigned Prime Video home screen, which now boasts a content-forward navigation bar. This bar features dedicated destinations like “Home,” “Movies,” “TV Shows,” and “Live TV,” making it effortless for users to find their preferred content. Additionally, a new “Prime” destination has been introduced, showcasing content available exclusively to Prime members at no extra cost.

AI-Powered Personalized Recommendations

Prime Video is also leveraging generative AI, powered by Amazon Bedrock, to provide even more personalized recommendations. This means users will receive more tailored content suggestions based on their viewing habits. Moreover, the platform will now clearly distinguish content included with Prime membership from add-on subscriptions or rentals, addressing a common point of confusion for users. TV show and movie synopses have also been streamlined using Large Language Models (LLMs) to offer concise descriptions for quick browsing.

Refreshed User Interface for Enhanced Engagement

The update also brings a refreshed user interface with new animations, smooth page transitions, and zoom effects. This revamped interface aims to create a more engaging and visually appealing browsing experience. Importantly, these improvements will be available across all devices, ensuring a seamless streaming experience for all Prime Video customers.

Kam Keshmiri, Vice President of Design at Prime Video, emphasized the customer-centric focus behind these changes, stating, “With the improvements we have made to the user experience, customers will be presented with an easy-to-navigate entertainment destination.”
