Reports That Took Three Hours, Now Automated in Five Minutes
Adopted by Local and Global Firms…$20 Monthly Subscription

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has unveiled "Amazon Quick," an AI assistant for work that can be leveraged around the clock on behalf of users. AWS plans to increase its market share in Korea by providing Amazon Quick, which broadly supports tasks such as data analysis, report creation, and business automation.


Hye Young Park, Senior Solutions Architect at AWS Korea, introduced Amazon Quick at a press conference held at the AWS Korea office in Seoul on the 12th, describing it as "an AI work platform that any team can use collectively by moving seamlessly across different apps."

Amazon Quick is an AI agent that integrates emails, calendars, documents, and collaboration programs, and can handle tasks on behalf of users. Unlike conventional AI chatbots that were limited to providing answers, Amazon Quick can reply to emails, draft documents, and automate work processes. It can also analyze the context of a user's work to propose tailored responses. After installation on a PC, it can access local folders and create or modify documents and spreadsheets.


AWS emphasized that, after deploying Amazon Quick in real work environments for six months with 200,000 Amazon employees, the time required for writing reports was drastically cut from three hours to just five minutes. The efficiency of departments engaged in repetitive tasks—such as sales, security, and finance—also significantly improved. According to AWS, employees in these teams previously spent over 40 hours per month on routine work, but saw a considerable reduction after implementing Amazon Quick.


Another key feature of Amazon Quick is its seamless integration with other enterprise productivity tools, including Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Slack, and Dropbox. By linking a Google Work account to Amazon Quick, users can receive email summaries or automate replies, and get agenda notifications for events scheduled in Google Calendar according to preset rules. It can also summarize and organize important direct messages (DMs) or posts received via Slack.


Amazon Quick can also continue work on behalf of users through "scheduled tasks," which allow agents to perform jobs automatically in the background. With the activity feed, users can check notifications from work tools or review logs of the agent’s activities, and the "knowledge graph" feature allows the agent to learn work context from user emails and documents.


The AI models powering Amazon Quick are selected from among those on AWS's generative AI platform Bedrock, based on suitability for each task. Bedrock gathers a range of top AI models from leading companies, including OpenAI’s GPT series, Anthropic Claude, Meta Llama, and Amazon Nova.


Korean companies are also putting Amazon Quick to use in their work processes. MegazoneCloud reduced data analysis time from more than a week to under 12 hours using Amazon Quick. Ilsung IS set up both chatbots and agents company-wide, reducing the time required for searching academic papers from two hours to five minutes, while BlackYak utilizes Amazon Quick for data queries, enabling dashboards and insights to be generated using natural language search alone.



AWS emphasized that Amazon Quick offers a cost advantage over competing enterprise AI agents. Park explained, "While other companies require purchasing additional licenses for the same features, Amazon Quick unifies them into a single offering," adding that "the price is just one-third that of competitors." To use the AI agent features of Amazon Quick, a "Plus" subscription is required, which costs $20 per month (about KRW 28,000) based on annual payment, or $25 per month with monthly payment. However, even with the Plus plan, extra charges of $3 per hour apply if users exceed the token limit.
