About us

Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one. Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world. Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind. You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1." What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.

    The Quick desktop app is here, and it’s compelling. Connects to your email, calendar, Slack, local files, and several other apps to flag important communications, retrieve and summarize info, make recommendations, send communications, and create agents that do work you used to have to do yourself. Gets smarter and more personalized the more you use it. Been using it a lot recently and is changing how I work. It’s allowing me to use applications like my inbox more like an archive, and Quick as my personalized, prioritized, productivity hub that can multi-task various needs. Still early days, and a lot more coming, but excited for folks to start using it to make the undifferentiated work so much less complicated. https://lnkd.in/gwGTeFzm

    Our robots are on pointe 🩰 Amazon's mighty Hercules robot drive continues to improve safety and efficiency in fulfillment centers around the world. Capable of lifting up to 1,250 pounds [566 kilos], Hercules slides under inventory shelves and delivers them directly to employees at ergonomic workstations, so our teams spend less time walking the floor and more time focused on customers. We think the choreography speaks for itself.

    Over 100,000 customers are running Claude on Amazon Bedrock — accelerating drug discovery, transforming customer service, and reimagining how software gets built. Giving customers access to the best AI models, built and served on world-class infrastructure, is exactly what Amazon and Anthropic have been building toward together. Today, Anthropic is committing more than $100 billion to Amazon Web Services (AWS) over the next decade — securing up to 5 gigawatts of capacity across Trainium2, Trainium3, Trainium4, and future generations of our custom silicon to train and power Claude. And we're bringing Claude Platform directly into AWS so customers can access it through their existing account, no extra credentials or contracts needed. We love what we're building with Anthropic — and the customers we're building it for are just getting started. https://lnkd.in/eqURNc_W

    BREAKING: Amazon is acquiring Globalstar to bring direct-to-device (D2D) satellite connectivity to Amazon Leo, and has signed an agreement with Apple to power satellite services for supported iPhone and Apple Watch models. We’ll begin launching Leo D2D services in 2028, ensuring your phone will stay connected even when you're outside of cellular range. The next-gen system will also mean faster speeds, better performance, and seamless integration with our Leo broadband constellation, and will power satellite services for supported iPhone and Apple Watch models, allowing users to text emergency services, message friends and family, request roadside assistance, and more. “There are billions of customers out there living, traveling, and operating in places beyond the reach of existing networks, and we started Amazon Leo to help bridge that divide,” said Panos Panay, Senior Vice President of Devices & Services, Amazon. “By combining Globalstar’s proven expertise and strong foundation with Amazon’s customer-obsession and innovation, customers can expect faster, more reliable service in more places—keeping them connected to the people and things that matter most. We’re excited to support Apple users through the Leo D2D system, and look forward to working with mobile network partners to help extend coverage to every corner of the planet.” Keeping customers connected no matter where in the world they are.
