- Amazon Quick is AWS’ latest proactive, always-on AI agent
- It will connect to local files and third-party online work tools.
- A constantly updated knowledge graph ensures maximum personalization
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched its own desktop AI assistant designed to act as a personal work companion that runs continuously and in the background to create context over time.
The new agent, Amazon Quick, was designed to connect to local files, emails, calendars and online work tools such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Zoom and Salesforce, for maximum context.
It can then write emails, documents and presentations, analyze data, generate insights and automatically automate certain repetitive tasks.

“Where most AI tools only work within their own vendor-specific ecosystem and can only help you with a fraction of your work, Quick is designed to free you from these walled gardens,” the company wrote in a statement.
Amazon also noted that Quick can automate browser-based workflows and connect to developer tools like Kiro CLI and Claude Code, proving that its usefulness can extend far beyond basic text writing.
On the personalization front, Quick is able to create a knowledge graph of anyone using the agent, covering preferences, team contacts and business context with access to the organization data you grant it access to.
Separately, Amazon has criticized most AI assistants for being responsive, only generating output when asked for a response and remaining inactive when not in use. This agent is part of a growing number of proactive assistants, “monitoring what’s happening in your applications, information and data, and surfacing what needs your attention.”
Early customers, including GoDaddy, AstraZeneca, BMW, Southwest Airlines and Amazon itself, say they are now able to complete hours-long tasks in minutes.
The Amazon Quick webpage lists current pricing for four subscription tiers: Free and Plus ($20/user/month) for small users, and Professional and Enterprise for large users, with additional infrastructure fees per organization on top of the monthly fee.
