Alexa has a new AI art tool on select Fire TV devices in the US, here's how

FULL STORY
======================================================================

When Amazon announced the Fire TV Omni QLED series in March last year it 
showed off an AI art tool that allowed Alexa to create custom backgrounds for 
the new display. Now roughly 10 months later Amazon has announced the AI 
image generator is finally heading to the Fire TV Omni QLED TVs as well as 
the Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023) . 

If you live in the US you can give Alexa a prompt and it will generate a few 
images based on your request. You can be as detailed or open-ended as you 
like just make sure to start your prompt with Alexa, create a background of 

You could request an image of Big Ben on Mars in the style of van Gogh, the 
Northern Lights floating above a cyberpunk city, or anything else you can 
think of. Examples of Alexa's AI art (Image credit: Amazon) 

Currently, the feature is limited to just the two devices with Ambient 
Experience, but we expect when new Fire TV gadgets launch theyll get access 
to this AI art tool so more people can give it a whirl. 

Theres no word yet on when or if the feature will launch outside of the US. 
Weve asked Amazon for details on its release plans for the Alexa AI art tool 
and will update this page when we hear back. How to create AI art backgrounds 
on Fire TV 

To activate this AI art feature on your Fire TV Omni QLED or Fire TV Stick 4K 
Max device youll first need to turn on Ambient Experience. You can do this by 
asking your voice assistant, Alexa, open Ambient. If this is your first time 
switching the experience on since the AI art tool was added youll see a 
pop-up alerting you that the feature is currently live in public preview. 

You can now make AI art by giving your devices voice assistant a prompt  just 
remember to start it with Alexa, create a background of (Image credit:

Your Fire TV device will then generate four images. You can then either 
generate more images, or use one of the suggested prompts to customize the 
image further  maybe giving it a different art style, or adding elements. 
It's a similar process to some of the best AI art generators . 

Once youre happy with the prompt you can select a generated image to see it 
in full screen. From here you can provide feedback (either a thumbs-up for a 
good job or thumbs down if the image isnt to your liking) and / or save the 
image to an Ambient Experience folder. 

If you save the image to this folder itll later be displayed as a background 
if you leave your Fire TV idle whilst not streaming any video content. With a 
few images saved in folder you can automatically cycle through several AI art 
concoctions. 

You can also instead save the image to your Amazon Photos account and set it 
as your only Fire TV background if you like it a lot and dont want to cycle 
through other pics. You might also like 4 ways Amazon has upgraded its
