At CES 2026, Lenovo introduced a single, built-in cross-device AI that interacts with the company’s devices, apps and digital services. This Personal Ambient Intelligence launches as Lenovo and Motorola Qira on respective devices.
Lenovo Qira showcases a move from app-based AI to ambient system-level intelligence, which is context-aware and available across devices without users needing to switch to or invoke a separate app. The company claims Qira is always present, understands what you’re doing, and can support you with your permission. Further, Qira will learn over time, anticipate your needs, and, according to Lenovo and Motorola, act naturally and personally.
Qira will work across devices on smartphones, tablets, wearables, PCs and more.
You’ll be able to invoke it by saying, “Hey, Qira,” by pressing a dedicated key, or even tapping the persistent pill that’ll show when you’re using your handset. Qira acts on behalf of your device and will work locally, meaning it can function offline.
Other features include ‘Pay Attention,’ which will let Qira support meetings and conversations with real-time transcriptions. Qira also enables real-time, multimodal interaction while you’re sharing your screen or camera, it stays attentive to what you say and show, and the AI is fluid and conversational.
There’s also ‘Next Move,’ which can guess what you want to do next on your device based on what you’re currently doing, with continuous support across devices that can evolve over time. ‘Catch Me Up’ will use Qira to summarize what happened when you’re away.
Qira will be available on Lenovo devices in Q1 2026. It will then roll out to Motorola smartphones after, showcasing over-the-air upgrades for existing Lenovo AI Now users with a broader expansion over time.
