Amazon Quick for Microsoft 365: Agentic AI where you work
Amazon Quick brings AWS-connected agentic AI directly into Microsoft 365 apps at general availability.
“The value isn't in the underlying agentic model itself. It's in the breadth of connected data that the agent brings to your interactions.”
AWS has launched Amazon Quick extensions for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, embedding its enterprise AI assistant directly inside Microsoft's productivity suite without requiring new apps or licenses. The move puts Amazon in direct competition with Microsoft Copilot on Microsoft's own turf, differentiating on connected data breadth across AWS, Salesforce, Jira, Slack, and SharePoint rather than model capability. Agentic document editing with audit trails signals a maturation push from AI chat toward AI that takes durable, trackable action inside enterprise workflows.
