- Amazon Quick is the latest always-on, proactive AI agent from AWS
- It will connect between local files and third-party online work tools.
- A constantly updated knowledge graph ensures maximum customization
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched its own desktop AI assistant designed to act as a personal coworker that runs continuously and in the background to create context over time.
The new agent, Amazon Quick, has been built to connect across local files, emails, calendars, and online work tools like Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Zoom, and Salesforce, for maximum context.
Then you can focus on writing emails, documents and presentations, analyzing data, generating insights and automating some repetitive tasks automatically.

AWS launches Amazon Quick desktop agent
“While most AI tools only work within their own vendor-specific ecosystem and can only help with a fraction of your work, Quick is designed to free you from those walled gardens,” the company wrote in an announcement.
Amazon also noted that Quick can automate browser-based workflows and connect to development tools like Kiro CLI and Claude Code, showing that its usefulness can go far beyond basic text writing.
On the personalization front, Quick can create a knowledge graph of any individual using the agent, spanning preferences, team contacts, and business context with access to the organizational data you grant them access to.
On the other hand, Amazon criticized most AI assistants for being reactive, generating results only when prompted for a response, and remaining idle when not in use. This agent is one of a growing number of proactive assistants, “monitoring what’s happening in your applications, information and data, and discovering what needs attention.”
Early customers, including GoDaddy, AstraZeneca, BMW, Southwest Airlines and Amazon itself, say they can now complete hours-long tasks in minutes.
The Amazon Quick website shows current pricing across four subscription tiers: Free and Plus ($20/user/month) for smaller users, and Professional and Enterprise for larger users with an additional infrastructure fee per organization on top of the monthly fee.
