Amazon Quick's Microsoft 365 extensions bring agentic AI to Word, Excel, and Outlook
Draft RFPs in hours, not weeks, with agentic AI inside your Office apps.
Amazon Quick, AWS's agentic AI assistant, is now available natively inside Microsoft 365 apps. The newly released extensions for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook work on both desktop and web versions, requiring no client-side installation. Administrators can deploy them via the Microsoft 365 admin center using a standard manifest, or users can install them directly from the add-in store. No additional licensing is needed for Plus, Professional, or Enterprise customers. The extensions connect to Amazon QuickSight dashboards, Spaces, AWS data sources, and third-party integrations like Salesforce, Jira, Slack, and SharePoint, bringing enterprise data directly into daily workflows.
The agentic capabilities go beyond simple chat. In Word, Quick can find and replace text, insert sections, and reformat content, showing a visual before-and-after comparison plus an audit trail with selectable references to changed content. In Outlook, each email thread maintains a persistent, context-aware conversation. The assistant preserves history across sessions, so context is never lost. Amazon cites a real-world example: drafting RFP responses that once took a team weeks now takes hours, and customized customer presentations that took a day or two are completed in about an hour. The extensions run entirely in the cloud, meaning there's no software to deploy on user machines, and pricing is included in existing Plus, Professional, or Enterprise plans.
- Four Microsoft 365 extensions (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) for desktop and web, with no client-side install or extra licensing for Plus/Professional/Enterprise plans.
- Agentic AI can edit documents directly—find/replace, insert sections, reformat—and tracks every change with audit trails and visual comparisons.
- Connects to QuickSight, AWS, Salesforce, Jira, Slack, and SharePoint, cutting RFP response time from weeks to hours and presentations from days to an hour.
Why It Matters
