Our team built solutions for Prime Video such as a React.js TV prototype using a Bluetooth remote control, a mobile app prototype built in React Native, Figma plugins in JavaScript, Gen AI prototypes using AWS Bedrock, and interactive fan experiences on the web for TV shows like The Boys and The Rings of Power.
