Amazon Quick adds third-party AI agents and expands built-in actions library

Amazon Quick is expanding its third-party integrations by adding AI agents and growing its built-in actions library. Quick is Amazon’s new AI-powered workspace and agentic teammate that helps organizations get answers from their business data and move quickly from insights to action. As organizations navigate newly adopted AI agents and work with existing enterprise tools for CRM, support, collaboration, and more, users face fragmented experiences. Users are forced to switch between different interfaces, repeat context, and manually stitch together outputs. Quick enables users to work with third-party agents and enterprise tools from a single interface, eliminating the wasted time and cognitive load of constantly switching between applications. With Quick, business users can now invoke specialized agents from Box, Canva, and PagerDuty to accomplish chat and automation tasks. For example, you can pull incident insights from PagerDuty, generate a presentation in Canva, and query documents stored in Box – all directly from Quick. Additionally, Quick has expanded its built-in actions to include integrations with GitHub, Notion, Canva, Box, Linear, Hugging Face, Monday.com, HubSpot, Intercom, and more. This enables Quick users to accomplish tasks like creating GitHub issues, summarizing meeting notes in Notion, managing their CRM, and more. Beyond our new built-in integrations, customers can continue to leverage custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) and OpenAPI connectors to connect Quick to thousands of additional applications. These features are now available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Quick is available. To learn more, visit the Amazon Quick Supported Integrations Guide and Integration Specific Guide.

AWS simplifies Client VPN onboarding with Quickstart setup

Today, AWS announces a simplified onboarding experience for AWS Client VPN, introducing a new Quickstart setup method that streamlines the process of creating and configuring Client VPN endpoints. AWS Client VPN allows you to securely connect remote users to AWS resources and on-premises networks. The new Quickstart setup, reduces the number of steps required to set up an Client VPN endpoint. You can now easily set up Client VPN endpoints with pre-defined default configurations, requiring only three key inputs: IPv4 CIDR, server certificate ARN, and subnet selection. For example, development teams in large organizations who use Client VPN for remote access to their VPC resources for quick testing can now create endpoints quickly with the new simplified setup process. The Quickstart method is available alongside the existing Standard Setup option, giving you the flexibility to choose the approach that best fits your deployment needs. Additionally, when you create a VPC, the Client VPN Quickstart workflow is automatically suggested as a follow up step. Once endpoint creation is complete, you can immediately download the client configuration file to connect using your VPN client. You can later modify and enhance your endpoint configuration using the Client VPN standard console or API as your usage patterns evolve. This enhancement is available at no additional cost in all AWS Regions where AWS Client VPN is generally available. To learn more about Client VPN:
