Summary
- Amazon Quick is a new AI agent that works proactively in the background.
- It connects local files and online tools for personalized AI assistance.
- Early users report completing hours-long tasks in mere minutes.
Amazon Web Services has unveiled Amazon Quick, a new proactive AI agent designed to function as a personal work companion. Unlike reactive AI tools, Quick operates continuously in the background, building context over time.
It integrates with local files, emails, calendars, and popular workplace applications such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, and Salesforce. This allows Quick to draft communications, analyze data, generate insights, and automate repetitive tasks. The agent can also automate browser-based workflows and connect with developer tools.
Quick personalizes user experience by building a knowledge graph based on individual preferences, team contacts, and business context, utilizing granted organizational data. This continuous operation allows it to surface important information without explicit prompts.
Initial customer feedback from companies like GoDaddy, AstraZeneca, BMW, and Southwest Airlines indicates a dramatic increase in efficiency, with hours-long tasks being completed in minutes. Pricing is available across four subscription tiers, including a free option and tiered paid plans for larger organizations.
