The Verge reports that the promotions for the new feature say it’s “available first on Fire TV,” meaning other voice assistant platforms like Google or Comcast might eventually get the feature as well.
Netflix’s Play Something feature debuted in April and is the streaming service’s solution to decision-making fatigue. The feature cuts the time you spend scrolling endlessly to find the right show or movie to watch and instead chooses something for you that it thinks you will like.
