Beijing, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Amazon Web Services (AWS) today announced the launch of Amazon Quick, a desktop AI assistant that brings a personal AI assistant to the desktop. It delivers a personalized experience by maintaining real-time connections, accessing local files and applications, and learning from each session to deeply understand your work context. Users can create real-time dashboards, smart applications, polished presentations, and images directly within Amazon Quick. By integrating with Google Workspace, Zoom, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and more, Amazon Quick seamlessly brings applications, tools, and data together for one-stop operation of everyday apps. Users can get started in minutes with just an email address.
Today, most people still spend a significant amount of time searching for information at work rather than using that information to get things done efficiently. Work context is often scattered across dozens of applications—emails, files, dashboards, Slack conversations, Jira tickets, and more. AI should provide a boost, but most tools operate within their own ecosystems or fail to earn trust in the work environment. What users truly need is an AI that understands the work context—including how you work, who you collaborate with, relevant data, workflows, and information across all systems.
To address this, AWS has launched the new Amazon Quick desktop application. This AI assistant will reshape how people work. It can directly access local files, continuously sync calendars, emails, and other application data in the background, and deeply learn work context; the longer you use it, the smarter it becomes, the more it adapts to your personal habits, and the more proactively it can support you. Its interface is intuitive and easy to use, while strictly meeting enterprise-grade security, compliance, and performance standards.
The Amazon Quick desktop app, combined with the newly announced content creation features and connectors, will drive the rapid evolution of AI in the workplace. When AI deeply understands the worker, team, and enterprise, it can transform into an intelligent assistant that turns questions into answers, answers into actions, and actions into tangible results.
AI That Understands How You Work
If you want AI to do more than just summarize reports or quickly draft emails, building context is the critical starting point. However, providing the necessary context for AI is a heavy task. Is it connected to the right systems? Have the documents on your laptop been uploaded? Does the AI know there’s a presentation scheduled at 2 PM today? Has it read the new announcement email from the marketing department? Even if you provide accurate context in the current session or guide it on how to draft a specific email, the AI still cannot retain memory for the next operation.
Amazon Quick is built on a different philosophy. It resides on your laptop and stays connected to everything you do, including local files, calendars, emails, and everyday applications. Most AI tools are limited to specific vendor ecosystems and can only help with part of your work. Amazon Quick aims to break down these barriers. Whether you use Slack or Teams, Outlook or Gmail, Salesforce or ServiceNow, Asana or Jira, Amazon Quick works seamlessly across platforms.
Amazon Quick can also automate browser-based workflows and connect to developer tools like Kiro CLI and Claude Code. With a single request, you can instruct Amazon Quick to extract information from a browser-based internal tool, analyze it using a local Python script, and paste the results into a document. No need to upload files, switch tabs, or start a new session—Amazon Quick is always ready.
At the same time, Amazon Quick is constantly evolving and becoming smarter. When answering questions, it bases its responses on your enterprise’s real data rather than performing ad-hoc searches. Amazon Quick indexes documents to fully understand your work content and learns from every interaction. This allows it to build a proprietary knowledge graph, mastering your preferences, team contacts, and business context—such as key projects you’re involved in or brand visual guidelines. The more you use it, the smarter and more personalized it becomes. Amazon Quick also offers shared Spaces for teams, where dashboards, agents, automated workflows, and knowledge accumulate and compound among members, ensuring the entire team shares work outcomes.
For example, whenever a sales representative closes a new deal, they need to send notifications to multiple parties inside and outside the company, including their direct manager, management, marketing team, and customer success team. When you ask Amazon Quick to draft the next win notification, it can extract all relevant stakeholders from its “long-term memory,” pull key details of this deal from a message the salesperson sent last week, and create action items for the team based on past customer service experience. Amazon Quick might even recall that the salesperson mentioned in a Slack conversation that this new customer could be a great case study, and suggest copying the corporate communications team on the notification.
Making AI Proactive, Not Reactive
Most AI tools are reactive, requiring prompts to respond. When idle, they offer no real help for your work. Amazon Quick runs continuously in the background on your desktop, monitoring applications, information, and data updates, and proactively pushing priorities that need your attention.
By combining its understanding of your personal work context with its 24/7 proactive operation, Amazon Quick helps you shift from passively handling daily tasks to actively managing your to-do list. For example, before a 2 PM meeting, Amazon Quick can automatically present relevant Slack conversations, documents you edited the day before, and associated briefing notes without any instruction. If a meeting conflict or other urgent matter arises, Amazon Quick can provide early warnings and take action before problems occur.
While enjoying the benefits of context, privacy and security are fully guaranteed. Amazon Quick will never use your data to train third-party models.
Continuously Enhancing the Amazon Quick Experience
In addition to the new desktop experience, Amazon Quick has undergone a series of updates and iterations:
- Build Custom Applications with Amazon Quick: In the current preview, users can leverage Amazon Quick to create smart applications, dashboards, and web pages that are deeply integrated with their business. Simply describe your needs in natural language, and the system will automatically connect to real-time data, perform automatic updates, and generate dashboards in seconds, eliminating the need for coding or complex development processes. Internal testing shows that users have already built applications with simple natural language and successfully deployed them to thousands of team members.
- Instant Content Asset Generation: This feature is now available. Quick supports generating professional documents, presentations, infographics, and images directly within the chat interface, without requiring professional design skills or time-consuming formatting adjustments. Although this feature is announced today, Amazon employees have already used it to generate highly customized PowerPoint presentations on demand. For example, account managers and solutions architects have created tailored presentations based on internal product roadmaps and customer discussion contexts to answer client questions.
- Access Amazon Quick Anywhere: Amazon Quick is integrating directly into Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel through the new Microsoft 365 extension connection capability in preview. It can proactively present insights, draft content, and perform actions within each application, eliminating the hassle of switching tools.
- Easily Connect More Mainstream Applications: Effective immediately, Amazon Quick expands its native integrations to include support for Google Workspace, Zoom, Airtable, Dropbox, and Microsoft Teams.
Amazon Quick Through the Eyes of Customers
Beyond Amazon itself, many of the world’s top enterprises, including 3M, GoDaddy, AstraZeneca, BMW, Kitsa, Mondelēz International, the NFL, and Southwest Airlines, have already deployed Quick. Its core advantage lies in bringing all systems and data together on a single platform. And because Amazon Quick is built on AWS, the security, compliance, and governance standards that enterprises trust are built in from the ground up.
Highly security-conscious institutions in the financial services sector are actively adopting Amazon Quick, with New York Life, the largest mutual life insurance company in the United States, being a prime example. David C. Gregorat, Chief Technology Officer of New York Life’s Institutional Life Insurance business, said: “Amazon Quick has fundamentally changed our operating model—including how we make decisions, execute strategies, and respond to opportunities. We are a large-scale institutional life insurance company with complex business processes, involving overnight reconciliations, premium processing, and compliance reporting. Previously, getting answers meant pulling large reports, waiting for analyst feedback, and still not having the complete picture. Now, a single conversational agent can replace all those processes, and any member of the team can easily use it. Quick is not just optimizing how we work; it’s allowing us to rethink the work itself.”
Mondelēz International, a global leader in snacks with iconic brands such as Oreo, Ritz, belVita, and LU biscuits, Cadbury Dairy Milk, Milka, Toblerone chocolate, and CLIF bars, is another example. Chris Hesse, Chief Technology Officer of Mondelēz International, said: “We have deployed Quick to our global workforce, and we are already seeing significant results. From teams being able to instantly access knowledge that previously took hours to find, to running AI-driven analysis across complex datasets to support better decision-making—Quick is helping our employees compress tasks that used to take hours into minutes. The impact of embedding secure, simple, and reliable AI technology into daily work is already clear.”
These examples are just a few snapshots of how many enterprises are leveraging Amazon Quick to accelerate innovation and boost productivity. Amazon Books reduced the time management spent compiling coordination documents by 80%, while engineering teams cut factory testing time by 67%. Additionally, Quick saves 3M sales representatives over 5 hours per week, significantly streamlining the information-gathering process during customer meeting preparation.
