Amazon Web Services has launched a desktop application for its AI assistant, Amazon Quick, that can work across enterprise applications, local files, and workflows.
The assistant connects with tools such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Zoom, Slack, and Jira, allowing users to access and act on information without switching between applications.
It runs locally on a user’s device, remains active in the background, and builds context over time using data from emails, calendars, documents, and other systems.
“Quick is built to break you free from those walled gardens,” Jigar Thakkar, Vice President of Agentic AI for Business at Amazon Quick, said in a statement. “Whether you use Slack or Teams, Outlook or Gmail, Salesforce or ServiceNow, Quick works across all of them seamlessly.”
The company said the assistant indexes documents and interactions to create a “personal knowledge graph,” enabling it to generate responses grounded in an organisation’s data. It also learns from user behaviour across sessions, improving personalisation and task execution over time.
Amazon Quick can automate workflows that span multiple tools. For example, users can request it to extract data from a browser-based system, process it using a local script, and insert results into a document in a single command.
AWS said the assistant moves AI usage from reactive prompts to proactive assistance. Running continuously in the background, it can surface relevant documents, flag scheduling conflicts, and prepare context for meetings without user input.
“Combining what Quick knows about you with its proactive, always-on approach helps shift you from reacting to the day as it happens to actually getting ahead of your to-do list,” Thakkar said.
The company also introduced new capabilities alongside the desktop app. Users can generate presentations, dashboards, documents, and images directly within the interface. A preview feature allows users to build custom applications and dashboards using natural language, with outputs connected to live business data.
AWS said integrations are expanding, including new Microsoft 365 extensions that embed Quick into Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Additional connectors include Google Workspace, Airtable, Dropbox, and Microsoft Teams.
The company stated that user data processed by Quick remains private and is not used to train external AI models.
The launch comes as enterprises seek AI systems that can operate across fragmented software environments while maintaining compliance and data control.
