Amazon Fire TV Stick users just realized they have access to a free upgrade

ARTIFICIAL intelligence helps Amazon Fire TV Sticks deliver a more personalized experience.

Amazon announced some of the new AI features last year and it's worth taking full advantage of them.

The tech giant say: “The upgraded Fire TV experience significantly improves search, browsing and recommendations by combining generative AI with Fire TV's extensive entertainment content and app library, allowing customers to find and discover content in a natural, contextual and conversational way.

“Customers can ask Alexa nuanced or open-ended questions about TV shows and movies, helping them find what they're looking for in natural and conversational language.”

By talking to Alexa via your Fire Stick remote, you can also bring up a list of content recommendations on the screen.

Amazon says: “Customers can also easily tell Alexa what they're in the mood for, choosing from a selection of recommendations personalized based on their Fire TV profiles.”

To access these features you will need an Amazon Alexa Voice Remote.

Older Fire TV Stick devices didn't come with a remote that you could talk to.

Using a voice remote to talk to Alexa is simple.

All you have to do is press and hold the Alexa button.

This is a blue button with a white round symbol.

Alternatively, you may need to press and hold a black button with a microphone symbol.

Speak your request while holding the button and release it when you have finished speaking.

You can say things like, “Show me action movies.”

Alexa should then give you useful information on the subject.

This should appear as a separate display on your TV screen.

To quickly return to your original screen, simply press the Back or Home button on your remote.
