Amazon introduces the Agentic Catalog Experience in Amazon Quick, bridging the gap between data catalogs and AI products. This move enables intelligent analytics at scale by connecting catalog-aware AI with upstream data catalogs. The investment in catalog platforms such as AWS Glue Data Catalog and Databricks Unity Catalog can now be leveraged to provide trusted dashboards and production-ready AI.

Amazon's latest blog post details a powerful method to overcome the limitations of native QuickSight visualizations for complex, multi-region datasets. By embedding Highcharts as a custom visual, businesses can now create unified, sophisticated dashboards that reveal nuanced insights across diverse geographical and structural data, eliminating the need for cumbersome workarounds. This integration empowers data analysts to build comprehensive views, from carrier dominance tilemaps to multi-category radar charts, all within a single QuickSight dashboard.

Smartsheet has developed a pioneering remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server on AWS, enabling AI clients like Claude Desktop and Amazon Quick to securely access and interact with enterprise data. This innovative solution optimizes AI interactions, significantly reduces token costs, and enhances the reliability of AI agents operating within Smartsheet's platform. It marks a significant step towards seamless AI integration in enterprise work management.
