# Augmenting Amazon Quick Sight insights with Amazon Q Business


Amazon Quick account admins can connect their Quick account to Amazon Q Business to augment insights with unstructured data sources. [Amazon Q Business](https://aws.amazon.com//q/business/) is a generative AI assistant that helps your team work smarter. It can answer questions, provide summaries, generate content, and securely complete tasks based on the information in your enterprise systems.

When an Quick account is integrated with Amazon Q Business, users can now leverage this vast repository of organizational knowledge alongside their structured data analytics. This integration allows for more comprehensive and context-rich insights, as it combines quantitative data from Quick with qualitative information from various business documents and applications.

For more information about connecting your Amazon Q Business account with Quick, see [Creating an Quick-integrated application](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/qbusiness-ug/create-application-quicksight.html).

## Considerations


The following limitations apply to the Amazon Q Business application.
+ Quick and Amazon Q Business must exist in the same AWS account. Cross account calls are not supported.
+ Quick and Amazon Q Business accounts need to exist in the same AWS Region. Cross Region calls are not supported. For a list of all supported Quick Regions, see [Supported AWS Regions for Amazon Q in Quick](regions.md#regions-aqs). For a list of all supported Amazon Q Business Regions, see [Service quotas for Amazon Q Business](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/qbusiness-ug/quotas-regions.html).

  If your Quick account exists in more than one Region, you can connect one Amazon Q Business application from each Region to the Quick account. For example, if your Quick account exists in US East (N. Virginia) and US West (Oregon), one Amazon Q Business application located in US East (N. Virginia) and one Amazon Q Business application located in US West (Oregon) can be connected to the Quick account.
+ Quick and Amazon Q Business accounts that are integrated need to use the same identity methods. For example, if a Quick account uses IAM Identity Center for identity management, the Amazon Q Business account that it is integrating with must also use IAM Identity Center for identity management.
+ Email addresses that are associated with Quick users and groups are used to perform authorization checks in Amazon Q Business.
