Amazon Quick takes On ChatGPT and Claude with a desktop AI chatbot that promises to never forget how you work

Amazon has launched Quick as a full desktop app, putting its workplace AI assistant in direct competition with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude. The difference it’s banking on: Quick doesn’t wait to be asked. It runs continuously in the background, learning how you work and acting before you need to prompt it.

The app lives on your laptop and stays connected to your files, calendar, email, and over a dozen business tools—Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Salesforce, Zoom, Dropbox, and more.
