Amazon Quick

Quick answer

Amazon Quick is a standalone general AI agent from Amazon Web Services. An AWS work assistant, with a desktop app, that researches, builds documents and decks, and takes actions in connected business apps. Nearfi's Agent Index rates its autonomy 3/5 (multi-step, with approval): it pulls context from connected apps, takes action in them and can run repeatable flows, but AWS's page describes approval steps only for custom apps, so it is not rated higher; it does more than one step, so it is not 2. Status: live; 0 incident(s) logged.

Why 3: it pulls context from connected apps, takes action in them and can run repeatable flows, but AWS's page describes approval steps only for custom apps, so it is not rated higher; it does more than one step, so it is not 2.

The findings

What it does. Quick connects to tools such as Slack, Salesforce, Jira and QuickBooks and acts in them from one conversation. The desktop app works with local files without uploading them and surfaces meeting prep, follow-ups and action items. It can also schedule meetings, run deep research and turn conversations into documents, presentations and spreadsheets.

Where it falls short. The sources opened do not say which actions need your approval. Business tiers cap agent hours per user each month (1 hour on Essentials, until 31 January 2027 at 3), and the page lists no regions.
