Amazon Quick Desktop Version Launches: Remains running in the background to learn how you work, proactively pushes notifications instead of waiting for you to open it

AIMPACT News, April 29 (UTC+8), according to Beating Monitoring, AWS announced the release of Amazon Quick desktop application, positioned as a cross-application AI office assistant. The app stays resident on the desktop, connecting to local files, calendars, emails, as well as third-party tools like Slack, Teams, Outlook, Gmail, Salesforce, Jira, and more, not limited to Amazon’s own products. Quick differs from most AI assistants in two ways. First is long-term memory: it indexes user documents, builds a personal knowledge graph for each individual, remembers preferences, team contacts, and business context, and maintains memory across conversations. Second is proactive work: it runs continuously in the background, monitoring the activity of various applications, and proactively pushes to-do reminders, meeting-related documents, and schedule conflict alerts before the user even speaks. New features include: creating custom applications, dashboards, and web pages with natural language that connect to real-time data for automatic updates; directly generating documents, PPTs, infographics, and images within conversations; Microsoft 365 extension (preview), embedding Quick into Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel; and automating browser workflows and connecting to development tools like Kiro CLI and Claude Code. Quick is now available with free and Plus pricing tiers, and can be registered with an email address without needing an AWS account. (Source: BlockBeats)
