Amazon tablets are getting AI tools, like writing assist and automatic website summaries

Amazon tablets are getting AI tools, like writing assist and automatic website summaries. These features are coming to the just-announced Fire HD 8 refresh and some older tablets.

This tool will “distill the key points in an article or on a web page” to give concise summaries. Amazon says it will catch readers up to speed “in a matter of seconds.” This kind of thing is generative AI 101, as there are plenty of pre-existing tools that mimic this functionality. Amazon says users can “choose from one of the curated prompts” or let their “imagination run wild.” The company says the algorithm will create “unique, high-resolution” images that can be used as a tablet’s wallpaper.
