Committed skeptic finds himself warming to new Amazon AI products that actually dont suck

New Products

Summary

Amazon is drawing attention for new AI products that are getting a warmer reception than its earlier efforts. The article focuses on Quick Desktop, a desktop AI assistant that surfaces tasks, drafts emails, and pulls context from email, Slack, and calendar data. The product still has rough edges, especially around setup, identity providers, and limited connectors, but it shows enough value to make the writer reconsider Amazon's AI credibility. The piece also references Amazon's Bee wearable and the just-announced AWS Context approach as signs that Amazon's AI strategy may be improving.
