Amazon Quick

Directory recordLast verified October 21, 2026Compare with othersBuild questions for this vendor

Amazon Quick is AWS's AI-powered service for automating tasks, analyzing data, building web applications and conducting research through natural-language chat, using AI agents against connected data sources.

AWS calls it the next evolution of Amazon Q Business, which is no longer sold to new customers.

Quick Automate builds business process automations with agents that make contextual decisions and execute actions, and the Enterprise plan adds human-in-the-loop orchestration.

AWS's published pricing, October 2026, lists Professional at $20 and Enterprise at $40 per user per month, each plus a $250 monthly fee per account.

Where it fits

CoE analysis Fits organizations on AWS that want a company assistant tied to their AWS identity, network and audit set-up, with analytics carried over from QuickSight.

CoE analysis Agent hours and index storage are metered on Enterprise, and Professional accounts cannot exceed their entitlement, so the plan choice decides whether heavy use is billed or stopped.
