What’s new in Amazon Quick?

Amazon Quick now supports autonomous agents that operate continuously and can be created in minutes, and an activity feed that prioritizes and surfaces work. The announcement lists 16 new integrations, and Quick ships with a catalog of 30+ ready-made skills spanning sales, finance, and marketing. Users can sign up at no cost and start using Quick immediately.

The new agents run within guardrails set by users, from precise step-by-step instructions to broader goals where agents choose the path. The activity feed consolidates email, messaging, calendar, and tasks into a single prioritized view and now groups escalations into summary cards with drafted replies and meeting talking points prepared before opening an invite.

How do agents, the activity feed and cross-source answers work?

Autonomous agents act on a user’s behalf, continuously, and require no coding to build; users create them by describing the task in plain language or by selecting from a library of pre-configured agents. Agents monitor changes, draft follow-ups, update CRM notes, and summarize regulatory changes overnight, with progress and outputs reviewable directly in Quick.

Quick connects to multiple apps and data sources so a single natural-language query can join information across systems. The product example shows Quick pulling deal history from Salesforce, engagement data from Databricks, and regional targets from a planning spreadsheet, returning a synthesized answer or a live, interactive dashboard. The platform enforces existing access controls so every user sees only the data they are authorized to view.

This week’s connector additions include 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. Quick’s catalog also lets organizations publish their own Skills, Agents, and Connectors, or use Quick’s curated items.

Why it matters

Amazon Quick shifts routine triage work out of a person’s morning by automating monitoring, summarization, and drafting across tools. The combination of always-on agents, a single prioritized activity feed, and cross-system queries reduces the need to file tickets or wait on analysts for joined answers. Running on the same AWS infrastructure used for highly regulated workloads means teams can apply existing IAM, VPC, encryption, and compliance controls to these automations.

That matters because it targets time spent on repetitive tasks: Quick’s examples include prospecting, chasing overdue invoices, building proposals, and forecasting payroll using the 30+ provided skills and new connectors. The product frames automation around familiar enterprise controls and audit trails rather than a separate, standalone service.

What to watch

Adoption signals to watch include how organizations use the agent guardrails in practice and whether the gated preview for Professional and Enterprise users expands to general availability. Also monitor how many in-house Skills, Agents, and Connectors organizations publish versus how many they adopt from Quick’s catalog.

Quick runs on the same AWS infrastructure and security controls your security team already approved, and anyone can sign up for Quick for free to begin connecting apps and building agents today. Plus users can publish Quick-built applications immediately, with Professional and Enterprise users able to access publishing as a gated preview.
