Stalled deals followed up on. Compliance changes summarized. Meeting prep written. Not because you multi-tasked, but because something was working in the background while you focused on other urgent priorities.\n\nTeams are already using [Amazon Quick](https://aws.amazon.com/quick/) — an AI assistant that connects to your most-used apps and data sources, learns how you work, and acts on your behalf — to reclaim hours every week and focus on the work that matters. Today, Quick gets even more powerful: new autonomous agents that work continuously on your behalf, an activity feed that helps you prioritize your most important work, and the ability to find insights across every data source your business runs on from a single question.\n\n**Be productive, even when you’re not working**\n\nStarting today, you can build autonomous agents in Quick that handle tasks on your behalf, continuously, even while you’re in back-to-back meetings. Create one in minutes by describing what you need in plain language or choose from a library of pre-configured agents. You decide how much autonomy to give each agent, from precise step-by-step instructions to broad goals where agents figure out the path on their own. Each agent operates within the guardrails you set.\n\nBack-to-back in meetings all day? You return to find stalled deals flagged, follow-ups drafted, and customer relationship management (CRM) notes updated. Responsible for navigating complex regulations? A change drops overnight and an impact summary is in your inbox by morning. Buried in purchase orders? Your agent handles them around the clock so your team can focus on strategic negotiations. Whatever your role, you can build agents that work continuously on your behalf, with no coding required.\n\nYou can monitor progress, provide additional inputs, and review agent outputs directly in Quick without losing context. Every interaction, correction, and outcome makes your agents better over time, like colleagues who get sharper every week.\n\nIn the following example, we create an agent that monitors legislative changes that impact packaging requirements for manufacturers:\n\n**Focus on the work that matters**\n\nMost people start their day trying to make sense of a mountain of unread email messages, Slack threads, calendar conflicts, and action items scattered across a dozen tools. The first hour isn’t productive work, it’s triage.\n\nThe activity feed in Quick changes that. It consolidates email, messaging, calendar, and tasks into a single prioritized view. The feed learns which messages you always respond to fast, which threads you skip, and what topics drive your week. Today, the activity feed gets even better. Six escalation messages become one summary card with drafted replies ready for your review. Meeting talking points materialize before you open the invite. A VP’s message is flagged before you’ve read it. And you can act right from the feed: reply, forward, approve, or delegate, without switching apps.\n\nIn the following view, your most valuable tasks are already triaged. Response messages are already drafted. Quick is ready to create prep docs for a meeting that hit your calendar while you were away.\n\nThis is possible because Quick connects to [popular apps and data sources](https://aws.amazon.com/quick/integrations/) so you can accomplish your goals, all in one place. This week, we’ve launched 16 new integrations, including connectors for Adobe, Cisco Webex Meetings and Video Messaging, Dun & Bradstreet, Figma, Google Chat, HG Insights, Microsoft OneNote, Moody’s, Shopify, Smartsheet, Snowflake, Visier, WhatsApp, Zapier, and ZoomInfo. No walled garden or single-vendor lock-in. Quick brings it all together.\n\nPut those integrations to work instantly with the built-in catalog of capabilities. Discover, install, and share Skills, Agents, and Connectors in a single selection. Your organization can publish its own, or browse what the Quick team has curated. Get started today with 30+ ready-made skills spanning sales, finance, and marketing — prospect leads in minutes, chase overdue invoices, build business cases, generate proposals, run market intelligence, forecast payroll, and set up OOO workflows.\n\n**Go from question to finished deliverable in seconds**\n\nYou have a question: which enterprise deals in Europe have declining engagement scores? But the answer is spread across three systems. Deal history lives in Salesforce, engagement data in Databricks, regional targets in a planning spreadsheet. Getting a complete picture used to mean filing a ticket, waiting on an analyst, or stitching it all together yourself.\n\nQuick now connects across all of these data sources, joining information in real time and enforcing your existing access controls throughout. You ask one question. Quick pulls from all three systems and returns the answer. Describe what you need in natural language and get back a live, interactive dashboard or a synthesized analysis your team can explore immediately.\n\nIn the following example, a business user asks a complex financial question that would normally require days of back-and-forth with data engineers. Quick understands how your datasets relate to each other, pulls the answer across all of them in seconds, and shows its reasoning so you can verify the result.\n\nAnd starting today, applications built in Quick can be published and shared with any audience. Go from idea to live web application in a single conversation, with no coding and no IT ticket required. Available now for Plus users, and available to Professional and Enterprise users as a gated preview.\n\n**Run AI on the cloud trusted by the world’s most security-sensitive organizations**\n\nQuick runs on the same AWS infrastructure behind the most security-sensitive workloads on the planet, from financial institutions to intelligence agencies. Same AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), same Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC), same encryption, same compliance certifications that your security team already approved. Every user sees only the data they’re authorized to see, enforced automatically. Your security team gets full audit trails, action-level permissions, and admin controls without slowing anyone down.\n\n**Start using Quick for free**\n\nQuick connects to your apps, learns your priorities, and acts on your behalf. It schedules, follows up, drafts, builds, and gets sharper every day.
