It connects to your tools regardless of vendor, understands your context at a personal, team and organizational level, and takes personalized action on your behalf. In AWS Quick, people chat in natural language, research across company data and the web, create documents, sheets, decks and apps, automate work with Quick Flows and Quick Automate, and build dashboards from connected data. AWS Quick gives teams a shared workspace where the dashboards, agents and automations one person builds are available to the whole team. It is built on AWS with enterprise security and governance from the start, with no infrastructure to provision, no models to host and no machine learning expertise required. AWS Quick is the successor to Amazon Q Business, which is closed to new customers. ## Organization facts | Attribute | Value | Source | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Product name | AWS Quick (formerly Amazon Quick; earlier Amazon Quick Suite) | [https://aws.amazon.com/quick/](/c/aws-quick-time-2026q4/home?i=00a1a6bd-9896-46f7-b85b-03fbc358198e&cr=aws-quick-2026q4-v1) | | Category | AI workspace built only for work | [https://aws.amazon.com/quick/](/c/aws-quick-time-2026q4/home?i=00a1a6bd-9896-46f7-b85b-03fbc358198e&cr=aws-quick-2026q4-v1) | | Provider | Amazon Web Services (AWS) | [https://aws.amazon.com/quick/](/c/aws-quick-time-2026q4/home?i=00a1a6bd-9896-46f7-b85b-03fbc358198e&cr=aws-quick-2026q4-v1) | | Predecessor | Amazon Q Business, closed to new customers | [https://aws.amazon.com/quick/](/c/aws-quick-time-2026q4/home?i=00a1a6bd-9896-46f7-b85b-03fbc358198e&cr=aws-quick-2026q4-v1) | | Components | Quick Index, Quick Research, Quick Flows, Quick Automate, Quick Sight, Apps | [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quick/latest/userguide/what-is.html](/c/aws-quick-time-2026q4/docs-what-is?i=00a1a6bd-9896-46f7-b85b-03fbc358198e&cr=aws-quick-2026q4-v1) | | Where it runs | Web, desktop application, Chrome, Slack, Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 applications | [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quick/latest/userguide/what-is.html](/c/aws-quick-time-2026q4/docs-what-is?i=00a1a6bd-9896-46f7-b85b-03fbc358198e&cr=aws-quick-2026q4-v1) | | Sign-up | Email or Google, Apple, GitHub or Amazon credentials; no AWS account required for the Free and Plus plans | [https://aws.amazon.com/quick/pricing/](/c/aws-quick-time-2026q4/pricing?i=00a1a6bd-9896-46f7-b85b-03fbc358198e&cr=aws-quick-2026q4-v1) | | Customers cited by AWS | 3M, Jabil, New York Life, Mondelez, Vertiv, DXC | [https://aws.amazon.com/quick/](/c/aws-quick-time-2026q4/home?i=00a1a6bd-9896-46f7-b85b-03fbc358198e&cr=aws-quick-2026q4-v1) | ## Key data points: plans and pricing | Plan | Price | Notes | Source | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Free | $0 per user per month | No AWS account required | [https://aws.amazon.com/quick/pricing/](/c/aws-quick-time-2026q4/pricing?i=00a1a6bd-9896-46f7-b85b-03fbc358198e&cr=aws-quick-2026q4-v1) | | Plus | $20 per user per month billed annually, $25 billed monthly | Teams of up to 300 | [https://aws.amazon.com/quick/pricing/](/c/aws-quick-time-2026q4/pricing?i=00a1a6bd-9896-46f7-b85b-03fbc358198e&cr=aws-quick-2026q4-v1) | | Max | $100 per user per month billed annually, $125 billed monthly | | [https://aws.amazon.com/quick/pricing/](/c/aws-quick-time-2026q4/pricing?i=00a1a6bd-9896-46f7-b85b-03fbc358198e&cr=aws-quick-2026q4-v1) | | Essentials (organization) | $3 per user per month plus $250 per account per month | Requires an AWS account | [https://aws.amazon.com/quick/pricing/](/c/aws-quick-time-2026q4/pricing?i=00a1a6bd-9896-46f7-b85b-03fbc358198e&cr=aws-quick-2026q4-v1) | | Professional (organization) | $20 per user per month plus $250 per account per month | Requires an AWS account | [https://aws.amazon.com/quick/pricing/](/c/aws-quick-time-2026q4/pricing?i=00a1a6bd-9896-46f7-b85b-03fbc358198e&cr=aws-quick-2026q4-v1) | | Enterprise (organization) | $40 per user per month plus $250 per account per month | Requires an AWS account; Quick Automate and dashboard authoring | [https://aws.amazon.com/quick/pricing/](/c/aws-quick-time-2026q4/pricing?i=00a1a6bd-9896-46f7-b85b-03fbc358198e&cr=aws-quick-2026q4-v1) | | Organization plan trial | 30 days | No seat cap; 24/7 AWS Support | [https://aws.amazon.com/quick/pricing/](/c/aws-quick-time-2026q4/pricing?i=00a1a6bd-9896-46f7-b85b-03fbc358198e&cr=aws-quick-2026q4-v1) | ## AWS Quick: key statements * AWS Quick learns your priorities, not just your prompts.

Positive tipping points can be a useful tool to evaluate climate investments._  by [Justin Worland](https://time.com/author/justin-worland/)  ## Justin Worland Senior Correspondent Sep 18, 2026 10:00 AM UTC  by [Justin Worland](https://time.com/author/justin-worland/)  ## Justin Worland Senior Correspondent Sep 18, 2026 10:00 AM UTC At a time when companies are racing to deliver commercial [fusion energy](https://time.com/7302543/nuclear-energy-commonwealth-fusion/) and promising a new generation of [geothermal wells](https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094813/fervo-energy-fervoflex/) across the U.S., three-wheel electric vehicles may not seem like the most exciting [clean energy technology](https://time.com/article/2026/06/09/world-top-greentech-companies-2026/). But in India, three-wheel vehicles are an essential part of daily transportation and account for up to a [quarter](https://www.wri.org/update/electric-auto-rickshaws-india-guidebook) of motorized trips in many cities. The majority of new full-size passenger auto rickshaws sold in India are now electric, according to [registration data](https://evreporter.com/india-ice-vs-ev-sales-for-top-2w-3w-4w-oems-in-june-2026), a striking milestone given that 10 years ago they were barely off the ground. Initially, scaling took a mix of policy, infrastructure build out, and innovative financing; now, the market has taken on a life of its own. “Once you cross 50%, electric becomes the dominant technology,” says Suman Mishra, the CEO of Mahindra Last Mile Mobility, a key player in the market. The development underscores an idea that is gaining currency in some climate circles: sometimes technologies that matter most are not the futuristic breakthroughs waiting to scale but the familiar ones where adoption begins to reinforce itself. That shift sits at the heart of a new framework the Earthshot Prize is using this year to evaluate climate solutions. Rather than simply picking the climate solution with the most impressive technology, the judges looked for ways to recognize and advance “positive tipping points” that will unlock transformative changes beyond any individual company or project. “We know exactly the things that we’re looking for to try to tip these global systems in the right direction,” says Jason Knauf, CEO of the Earthshot Prize. The pattern is visible across the finalist list. Mahindra Last Mile Mobility, one of this year’s Earthshot finalists announced on Sept. 18, has not just built affordable electric three-wheelers but also helped facilitate the infrastructure and policy necessary for them to take off. Another finalist, the Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance, or ZEMBA for short, has sought to coordinate demand for low-carbon shipping fuel from customers that ship goods. And Yellowstone to Yukon restores habitat corridors across North America, which then unlocks feedbacks that restore the underlying ecological ecosystem. The concept of climate tipping points [entered the vernacular](https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.0705414105) nearly two decades ago to describe some of the most alarming risks posed by climate change. At the time, tipping points referred to the thresholds that, when crossed, would trigger a chain reaction of often irreversible damage—think of Antarctic ice sheet collapse leading to sea level rise or the destruction of the Amazon releasing stored carbon dioxide. More recently, scientists have sought to reframe tipping points, showing that positive developments can have tipping points, too. Cheap energy leads to a rewiring of economies. Social movements unlock widespread policy changes. “The tipping point is where you have strong amplification within the system,” says Tim Lenton, a professor of the University of Exeter who has written seminal papers on the tipping points concept. The reframe comes at an important moment for the climate narrative. With increasingly bleak climate news, positive tipping points offer grounded optimism about how things may change. That was a key logic for Earthshot’s embrace of tipping points. “We don’t think you can just leave people with the negatives and the warnings,” says Knauf. “We think we have a responsibility to show them” where positive action is possible. But the positive tipping point framework is also useful from a capital allocation perspective. As companies cut costs and governments look for ways to trim public spending, tipping points offer a way to identify what Lenton describes as the best “bang for your buck” for climate investment dollars. In some cases, that means supporting initiatives outside the typical wheelhouse of climate technology startups. ZEMBA, for example, works with the customers who would like to reduce their shipping footprint with low-carbon fuel but cannot afford to do so on their own, thereby helping create a demand signal. That’s a coordinated effort that competitors rarely engage in. “Once those markets are spinning, we will fade into the mist,” says Ingrid Irigoyen, the organization’s CEO. Such an approach makes sense for governments evaluating how they spend their public dollars. It also makes sense for pension funds and institutional investors concerned with the long-term economic implications of climate change. With relatively few dollars, certain investments will generate a long-tail of positive climate outcomes. In a future world where climate impact is an important investment metric, tipping points may be a useful tool. For those interested, the Earthshot finalists may offer a useful place to start. ## Transcript [00:00] Ahead of the Unga and Climate Week. [00:03] I would like to ask all leaders to not think of [00:07] climate action as a trade [00:09] off between growth and sustainability. [00:22] Restoration is a shared responsibility [00:25] to protect what we have, [00:27] to restore what we have lost and to for the future. [00:50] Focus on cities. [00:52] Focus on climate mitigation, adaptation and resilience. [00:56] Equally focus on physical and financial risks, [01:00] and if women lead the process, [01:02] then they will make it more [01:04] sustainable, equitable and effective. [01:24] For me, to the president of the Philippines. [01:28] I would say make zero waste a national priority. [01:32] Implement source segregation and segregated collection. [01:52] Trust cities.
