Quick Apps could already bring live data into an app from connectors and content sources: action connectors (services like Jira, Slack, and Google Drive), Spaces documents, web search, and AI inference all run at view time, not build time. The solution introduces live structured data from your data lakes, databases, and other analytics data stores
Your governed Amazon Quick Sight datasets, the SPICE and Direct Query tables that hold your business metrics, couldn't be queried live from an app. Any dataset numbers an app showed were baked in when the agent built it. A snapshot frozen at publish time
That was fine for a static report, but it broke down the moment you wanted an app whose metrics reflected what your data says today, and that respected who is allowed to see which rows
