Amazon (AMZN<\/a>) on Tuesday launched its own OpenClaw-like desktop AI<\/a> agent and rolled out several separate agentic AI services as it makes a bid to grab share in the enterprise software market.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s desktop agent is a new version of its existing Amazon Quick offering, Amazon\u2019s cloud-based service that can perform multiple tasks on your behalf, such as drafting emails, pulling information from your own data, and more.<\/p>\n

Quick, Amazon explained, is designed to work across various ecosystems, including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, and others. The idea is that Quick can then grab your data, no matter where it lives.<\/p>\n

The desktop aspect also allows the agent to send you alerts when you need them. For instance, if you need to update a document, miss an email, or if a deal needs attention in Salesforce.<\/p>\n

\u201cQuick is not just asking questions, but it’s taking actions like scheduling your meetings, sending emails for you, creating dashboards, and following \u2026 on action items that you may have to follow up [on],\u201d explained Jigar Thakkar, vice president of agentic AI for business at Amazon.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt gives you a proactive feed every day to tell you what you should focus on and how, and helps you get those things done,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

OpenClaw gained an enormous amount of attention among developers thanks to its ability to perform actions on your behalf from your own desktop using your own data.<\/p>\n

The benefit is that you can customize it as you see fit, provide it with access to the information you want, and allow it to perform tasks for you. The problem is that all of that also makes it a potential security nightmare.<\/p>\n

Amazon says Quick, however, has built-in security features. For instance, it will ask for access to data and whether you want it to perform tasks for you.<\/p>\n

In addition to Quick, Amazon said it is expanding its AI-powered customer support platform Amazon Connect into four different agentic AI services: Connect Decisions for supply chain work, Connect Talent for hiring, Connect Customer AI for customer support, and Connect Health for healthcare settings.<\/p>\n

The move is part of Amazon\u2019s effort to push further into the enterprise software space, adding fresh competition to a market that\u2019s already dominated by the likes of Microsoft and Salesforce.<\/p>\n

It also comes as questions swirl about whether AI will be able to perform many of the tasks enterprise software is designed to tackle, raising concerns about the long-term viability of the market.<\/p>\n
