The following sections cover the types of analysis that Quick Suite provides and an overview of Amazon Quick Sight, automation, and AI operations. Also covered are the differences between interactive and programmatic operations.

To demo the Quick Suite capabilities, you can see Getting started with Amazon Quick Suite, which covers getting started with sample data and creating your first analysis.

Business intelligence (BI) with Amazon Quick Sight

Using Amazon Quick Sight, you can access data and prepare it for use in reporting. It saves your prepared data either in SPICE memory or as a direct query. You can use a variety of data sources for analysis. When you create an analysis, the typical workflow has the following steps:

1. Create a new analysis.

2. Add new or existing datasets.

3. Choose fields to create the first chart. Quick Sight automatically suggests the best visualization.

4. Add more charts, tables, or insights to the analysis. Resize and rearrange them on one or more sheets. Use extended features to add variables, custom controls, colors, additional pages (called sheets), and more.

5. Publish the analysis as a dashboard to share it with other people.

Perform deep research with Amazon Quick Research

Amazon Quick Research capabilities in Quick Suite enable you to conduct comprehensive analysis across large volumes of data and documents using AI-powered tools. These features help you uncover insights, patterns, and relationships that might not be immediately apparent through traditional analysis methods.

Deep research functionality includes:

• Analyzing hundreds of documents, reports, or datasets simultaneously to identify trends and patterns

• Using natural language queries to explore complex data relationships across multiple sources

• Generating comprehensive summaries and insights from large document collections

• Leveraging AI to surface relevant information and connections that support decision-making

This capability is particularly valuable for tasks such as market research, competitive analysis, regulatory compliance review, and strategic planning where comprehensive data analysis is essential.

Create and use Amazon Quick Suite custom agents

Custom agents in Quick Suite are AI-powered assistants that you can configure to help users explore data, analyze information, and perform specific tasks within your organization's context. These agents combine natural language processing with access to your data sources, dashboards, and business knowledge to provide contextual assistance.

You can create custom agents to:

• Provide domain-specific expertise by connecting agents to relevant datasets, topics, and knowledge bases

• Automate common analytical tasks and workflows through conversational interfaces

• Enable self-service analytics for business users who prefer natural language queries over traditional BI tools

• Integrate with external systems and actions to perform tasks beyond data analysis

Custom agents can be configured with specific goals, knowledge sources, and connected tools to provide tailored assistance for different teams, use cases, or business domains within your organization.

Share data and collaborate with Amazon Quick Suite spaces and folders

Spaces and folders in Quick Suite provide organizational structures that enable teams to collaborate effectively on data analysis and share insights across your organization. Spaces serve as collaborative workspaces that aggregate data, dashboards, and knowledge for specific teams or domains, while folders provide hierarchical organization for your analytics assets.

Using spaces, you can:

• Create team-specific knowledge bases that combine datasets, dashboards, topics, and uploaded files

• Enable contextual AI conversations by grounding agent responses with relevant team data

• Reduce data silos by allowing multiple team members to contribute and access shared knowledge

• Maintain proper access controls while facilitating collaboration across teams

Folders complement spaces by providing structured organization for your analytics assets, with support for both personal and shared folders. Shared restricted folders ensure that sensitive assets remain within designated boundaries while still enabling collaboration.
