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

The Recaps feature -- which enables users 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.
