Cross-Device Ai Agent Introduced
Lenovo’s new Ai assistant, Qira, is designed to operate as a single ambient intelligence layer across phones, tablets, laptops and wearables.
“Qira is built around users, shaped by their control,” said Luca Rossi, President of Lenovo’s Intelligent Devices Group.
Described by Lenovo as a ‘Personal Ambient Intelligence System’, Qira runs locally on devices and is positioned as a privacy-conscious Ai that responds only to user-enabled inputs. It is available as Lenovo Qira on PCs and tablets and Motorola Qira on smartphones.
The company said integrations with partners like Expedia Group would allow users to move from intent to action more efficiently, using Qira to surface suggestions and hand off to external services.
