Amazon Music Podcasts is slated to receive a significant upgrade, as the platform will soon include AI-generated episode highlights and chapters.
CNET details in a report that this development follows Amazon's acquisition of Snackable AI, an audio intelligence startup specializing in creating structures for lengthy video and audio snippets.
The acquisition occurred at the end of the previous year, and the Snackable AI website now redirects to Amazon Music.
What Snackable AI Does
The technology of Snackable AI enables the automatic generation of highlights and chapters in audio and video segments, delivering insights that engage audiences and align teams more quickly.
Mari Joller, the founder and CEO of Snackable AI, is now the AI and machine learning product leader for Amazon Music Podcasts.
Incorporating AI-generated episode excerpts and chapters could revolutionize the podcast-listening experience on Amazon Music, as listeners can locate specific information or segments without having to listen to the entire episode.

More Amazon News
Amazon has recently introduced Inspire, a shopping feed similar to TikTok, to all consumers in the United States, TechCrunch reports.
The feature, which was handed out to select customers in December 2020, enables consumers to browse products and make purchases based on content created by influencers, brands, and other users.
Customers can get started by opening the Amazon Shopping app, logging in, and tapping the Inspire icon on the bottom navigation bar. They will then be prompted to personalize their Inspire feed by selecting from over 20 interests, such as cosmetics, pets, and travel.
The scrolling experience resembles TikTok's vertical video feed, and interaction options are on the screen's right side.
Amazon Influencer Program participants can publish content to Inspire, and customers can submit product reviews. Brands, including vendors and merchants enrolled in Brand Registry with an active Brand Store, can also post to Inspire.
