AWS Quick Microsoft Word extension

The Quick extension for Microsoft Word integrates AI-powered assistance directly in your Word document. Users can leverage Quick within Word to draft content, make formatted edits, and perform reviews with track changes and comments enabled.

The Word extension enables users to:

  • Generate formatted documents using style guides and templates and Quick's enterprise data and apps.

  • Make small- or large-scale edits to your document while maintaining its writing style and structure.

  • Format or restructure your documents.

  • Redline your documents with track changes and/or comments enabled.

The Quick Word extension is available within AWS Quick to all eligible users by default and requires no administrative setup for user access if users can access the Microsoft Word app store. Users can search for AWS Quick in the Microsoft Word app store or visit the Quick for Word Microsoft store page to add the extension.

Important

  • The AWS Quick Word extension uses generative AI to create and execute code within your Word application sandbox to help you perform tasks within Word. AI can make mistakes and perform inaccurate actions within your Word document.

  • AWS Quick does not use your user data for service improvement or for training its underlying large language models (LLMs).

Note

The AWS Quick Microsoft Word extension supports two runtimes. On Windows, it uses the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime. On macOS, it uses the WebKit2 runtime.

To understand Office add-in runtimes and install Microsoft Edge WebView2, see Understanding the Office Add-ins runtime on the Microsoft Developer Blogs website.

Note

When users use the extension, the time AWS Quick spends working on their requests is metered per second and counts toward agent hours. For more information, see the AWS Quick pricing page.

Microsoft Word extension permissions

The AWS Quick Word extension uses the ReadWriteDocument Office JavaScript API permission level. This is an Office add-in manifest permission, not a Microsoft Graph API scope. No Graph API permissions are needed during deployment.

The default app capabilities for the Word add-in are:

  • Can read and make changes to your document

  • Access your profile information such as your name, email address, company name, and preferred language

  • Can send data over the Internet

Administrators should review the permissions listed during the consent step of deployment through the M365 admin center integrated apps portal.
