Today, we’re announcing Amazon Quick Suite, a new agentic teammate that quickly answers your questions at work and turns those insights into actions for you. Instead of switching between multiple applications to gather data, find important signals and trends, and complete manual tasks, Quick Suite brings AI-powered research, business intelligence, and automation capabilities into a single workspace. You can now analyze data through natural language queries, find critical information across enterprise and external sources in minutes, and automate processes from simple tasks to complex multi-department workflows.

Here’s a look into Quick Suite.

Business users often need to gather data across multiple applications—pulling customer details, checking performance metrics, reviewing internal product information, and performing competitive intelligence. This fragmented process often requires consultation with specialized teams to analyze advanced datasets, and in some cases, must be repeated regularly, reducing efficiency and leading to incomplete insights for decision-making.

Quick Suite helps you overcome these challenges by combining agentic teammates for research, business intelligence, and automation into a unified digital workspace for your day-to-day work.

Integrated capabilities that power productivity 
Quick Suite includes the following integrated capabilities:

• Research – Quick Research accelerates complex research by combining enterprise knowledge, premium third-party data, and data from the internet for more comprehensive insights.
• Business intelligence – Quick Sight provides AI-powered business intelligence capabilities that transform data into actionable insights through natural language queries and interactive visualizations, helping everyone make faster decisions and achieve better business outcomes.
• Automation – Quick Flows and Quick Automate help users and technical teams to automate any business process from simple, routine tasks to complex multi-department workflows, enabling faster execution and reducing manual work across the organization.

Let’s dive into some of these key capabilities.

Quick Index: Your unified knowledge foundation
Quick Index creates a secure, searchable repository that consolidates documents, files, and application data to power AI-driven insights and responses across your organization.

As a foundational component of Quick Suite, Quick Index operates in the background to bring together all your data—from databases and data warehouses to documents and email. This creates a single, intelligent knowledge base that makes AI responses more accurate and reduces time spent searching for information.

Quick Index automatically indexes and prepares any uploaded files or unstructured data you add to your Quick Suite, enabling efficient searching, sorting, and data access. For example, when you search for a specific project update, Quick Index instantly returns results from uploaded documents, meeting notes, project files, and reference materials—all from one unified search instead of checking different repositories and file systems.

Quick Research: From complex business challenges to expert-level insights
Quick Research is a powerful agent that conducts comprehensive research across your enterprise data and external sources to deliver contextualized, actionable insights in minutes or hours — work that previously could take longer.

Quick Research systematically breaks down complex questions into organized research plans. Starting with a simple prompt, it automatically creates detailed research frameworks that outline the approach and data sources needed for comprehensive analysis.

After Quick Research creates the plan, you can easily refine it through natural language conversations. When you are happy with the plan, it works in the background to gather information from multiple sources, using advanced reasoning to validate findings and provide thorough analysis with citations.

Quick Research integrates with your enterprise data connected to Quick Suite, the unified knowledge foundation that connects to your dashboards, documents, databases, and external sources, including Amazon S3, Snowflake, Google Drive, and Microsoft SharePoint. Quick Research grounds key insights to original sources and reveals clear reasoning paths, helping you verify accuracy, understand the logic behind recommendations, and present findings with confidence. You can trace findings back to their original sources and validate conclusions through source citations. This makes it ideal for complex topics requiring in-depth analysis.

Quick Sight: AI-powered business intelligence
Quick Sight provides AI-powered business intelligence capabilities that transform data into actionable insights through natural language queries and interactive visualizations.

You can create dashboards and executive summaries using conversational prompts, reducing dashboard development time while making advanced analytics accessible without specialized skills.

Quick Sight helps you ask questions about your data in natural language and receive instant visualizations, executive summaries, and insights. This generative AI integration provides you with answers from your dashboards and datasets without requiring technical expertise.

Using the scenarios capability, you can perform what-if analysis in natural language with step-by-step guidance, exploring complex business scenarios and finding answers faster than before.

Additionally, you can respond to insights with one-click actions by creating tickets, sending alerts, updating records, or triggering automated workflows directly from your dashboards without switching applications.

Quick Flows: Automation for everyone
With Quick Flows, any user can automate repetitive tasks by describing their workflow using natural language without requiring any technical knowledge. Quick Flows fetches information from internal and external sources, takes action in business applications, generates content, and handles process-specific requirements.

Starting with straightforward business requirements, it creates a multi-step flow including input steps for gathering information, reasoning groups for AI-powered processing, and output steps for generating and presenting results.

After the flow is configured, you can share it with a single click to your coworkers and other teams. To execute the flow, users can open it from the library or invoke it from chat, provide the necessary inputs, and then chat with the agent to refine the outputs and further customize the results.

Quick Automate: Enterprise-scale process automation
Quick Automate helps technical teams build and deploy sophisticated automation for complex, multistep processes that span departments, systems, and third-party integrations. Using AI-powered natural language processing, Quick Automate transforms complex business processes into multi-agent workflows that can be created merely by describing what you want to automate or uploading process documentation.

While Quick Flows handles straightforward workflows, Quick Automate is designed for comprehensive and complex business processes like customer onboarding, procurement automations, or compliance procedures that involve multiple approval steps, system integrations, and cross-departmental coordination. Quick Automate offers advanced orchestration capabilities with extensive monitoring, debugging, versioning, and deployment features.

Quick Automate then generates a comprehensive automation plan with detailed steps and actions. You will find a UI agent that understands natural language instructions to autonomously navigate websites, complete form inputs, extract data, and produces structured outputs for downstream automation steps.

Additionally, you can define a custom agent, complete with instructions, knowledge, and tools, to complete process-specific tasks using the visual building experience – no code required.

Quick Automate includes enterprise-grade features such as user role management and human-in-the-loop capabilities that route specific tasks to users or groups for review and approval before continuing workflows. The service provides comprehensive observability with real-time monitoring, success rate tracking, and audit trails for compliance and governance.

Additional foundational capabilities
Quick Suite includes other foundational capabilities that deliver seamless data organization and contextual AI interactions across your enterprise.

Spaces – Spaces provide a straightforward way for every business user to add their own context by uploading files or connecting to specific datasets and repositories specific to their work or to a particular function. For example, you might create a space for quarterly planning that includes budget spreadsheets, market research reports, and strategic planning documents. Or you could set up a product launch space that connects to your project management system and customer feedback databases. Spaces can scale from personal use to enterprise-wide deployment while maintaining access permissions and seamless integration with Quick Suite capabilities.

Chat agents – Quick Suite includes insights agents that you can use to interact with your data and workflows through natural language. Quick Suite includes a built-in agent to answer questions across all of your data and custom chat agents that you can configure with specific expertise and business context. Custom chat agents can be tailored for particular departments or use cases—such as a sales agent connected to your product catalog data and pricing information stored in a space or a compliance agent configured with your regulatory requirements and actions to request approvals.

Today, we announced a new capability of Amazon Q in QuickSight that helps users perform scenario analyses to find answers to complex problems quickly. This AI-assisted data analysis experience helps business users find answers to complex problems by guiding them step-by-step through in-depth data analysis—suggesting analytical approaches, automatically analyzing data, and summarizing findings with suggested actions—using natural language prompts. This new capability eliminates hours of tedious and error-prone manual work traditionally required to perform analyses using spreadsheets or other alternatives. In fact, Amazon Q in QuickSight enables business users to perform complex scenario analysis up to 10x faster than spreadsheets. This capability expands upon existing data Q&A capabilities of Amazon QuickSight so business professionals can start their analysis by simply asking a question.

How it works
Business users are often faced with complex questions that have traditionally required specialized training and days or weeks of time analyzing data in spreadsheets or other tools to address. For example, let’s say you’re a franchisee with multiple locations to manage. You might use this new capability in Amazon Q in QuickSight to ask, “How can I help our new Chicago store perform as well as the flagship store in New York?” Using an agentic approach, Amazon Q would then suggest analytical approaches needed to address the underlying business goal, automatically analyze data, and present results complete with visualizations and suggested actions. You can conduct this multistep analysis in an expansive analysis canvas, giving you the flexibility to make changes, explore multiple analysis paths simultaneously, and adapt to situations over time.

This new analysis experience is part of Amazon QuickSight meaning it can read from QuickSight dashboards which connect to sources such as Amazon Athena, Amazon Aurora, Amazon Redshift, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), and Amazon OpenSearch Service. Specifically, this new experience is part of Amazon Q in QuickSight, which allows it to seamlessly integrate with other generative business intelligence (BI) capabilities such as data Q&A. You can also upload either a .csv or a single-table, single-sheet .xlsx file to incorporate into your analysis.

Here’s a visual walkthrough of this new analysis experience in Amazon Q in QuickSight.

I’m planning a customer event, and I’ve received an Excel spreadsheet of all who’ve registered to attend the event. I want to learn more about the attendees, so I analyze the spreadsheet and ask a few questions. I start by describing what I want to explore.

I upload the spreadsheet to start my analysis. Firstly, I want to understand how many people have registered for the event.

To design an agenda that’s suitable for the audience, I want to understand the various roles that will be attending. I select on the + icon to add a new block for asking a question following along the thread from the previous block.

I can continue to ask more questions. However, there are suggested questions for analyzing my data even further, and I now select one of these suggested questions. I want to increase marketing efforts at companies that don’t currently have a lot of attendees in this case, companies with fewer than two attendees.

Amazon Q executes the required analysis and keeps me updated of the progress. Step 1 of the process identifies companies that have fewer than two attendees and lists them.

Step 2 gives an estimate of how many more attendees I might get from each company if marketing efforts are increased.

In Step 3 I can see the potential increase in total attendees (including the percentage increase) in line with the increase in marketing efforts.

Lastly, Step 4 goes even further to highlight companies I should prioritize for these increased marketing efforts.

To increase the potential number of attendees even more, I wanted to change the analysis to identify companies with fewer than three attendees instead of two attendees. I choose the AI sparkle icon in the upper right to launch a modal that I then use to provide more context and make specific changes to the previous result.

This change resulted in new projections, and I can choose to consider them for my marketing efforts or keep to the previous projections.

Now available
