Music streaming service Spotify has unleashed a new audiobooks feature called Recaps that gives you an AI-generated summary of a book they've started listening to.

The Recaps feature -- which enables you to quickly catch up on a book -- is in iOS beta and available for select English language books. It activates once the users has listened to the first 20 minutes of a book, and Spotify says the feature is planned for future expansion.

To use it, tap the Recap button at the top of an audiobook's page to hear a tailored summary covering up until you stopped, no spoilers.

Yet, it's not only audiobook readers who can use this kind of feature; Amazon announced Story So Far in September, which generates overviews for Kindle readers.

Spotify's $12 subscription includes 15 hours a month of audiobook listening from a catalog of over 500,000 titles. If users exhaust their hours, they can pay extra for more time as well as purchase books outright. Amazon Music Unlimited recently announced that its users also receive an Audible book each month.
