Summary

- • Available to existing Quick customers on Plus, Professional, or Enterprise plans at no extra charge.
Details
M365 extensions now generally available
Amazon Quick Microsoft 365 extensions are now generally available for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook in both desktop and web versions, as of August 13, 2026.
No additional licensing for existing customers
Existing Quick customers on Plus, Professional, or Enterprise plans can access all four extensions at no additional cost — no new procurement required.
Agentic editing with full audit trail
In Word, the agent finds/replaces text, inserts sections, reformats content, and presents a visual diff of changes with a linked audit trail — going beyond chat to direct document action.
Cross-platform enterprise data connections
Quick connects Amazon QuickSight dashboards, Spaces, AWS data sources, Salesforce pipelines, Jira projects, Slack conversations, and SharePoint repositories to M365 apps.
Intelligence layer framing over model capability
Amazon frames Quick as an 'intelligence layer' — the value lies not in the AI model itself but in the breadth of connected enterprise data it can access and act upon within existing workflows.
Persistent conversation context across sessions
Conversation history is preserved across sessions; the agent operates from a persistent side panel and maintains document context without requiring users to re-explain their work.

What This Means
Amazon Quick's M365 integration puts AWS-connected AI directly inside the productivity tools most enterprise workers use daily, bypassing the need to adopt new applications. This is a significant competitive move — Amazon is embedding its AI assistant inside Microsoft's own apps, placing it in direct competition with Microsoft Copilot on Copilot's home turf. The agentic approach, where AI takes action inside documents rather than just advising, signals a broader industry shift toward AI that participates actively in workflows. For enterprises already on AWS infrastructure, this creates a compelling reason to standardize on Quick over other AI assistants.
