Las Vegas, January 6, 2026During CES 2026, Lenovo unveiled a built-in, integrated intelligence system for all devices, designed to redefine how users interact with their devices, applications, and digital services. This ambient intelligence system is being launched under the names Lenovo Qira and Motorola Qira respectively depending on their devices1.
“Lenovo Qira isn’t just a new assistant, it’s a new way for intelligence to work on your devices. Our goal is to make AI feel less like a tool you use and more like intelligence that works with you continuously and naturally,” said Dan Deere, Vice President of AI Systems, Lenovo’s Smart Devices Group.
Lenovo Qira represents a paradigm shift from application-based AI to ambient intelligence2that is, context-aware intelligence that is available on all devices without having to open, switch to, or launch a separate app. It is not an application that you open or move to, but rather it is always present and understands what you are doing and supports you in the present moment as you wish. By sharing experiences with you over time, the system learns your intentions, anticipates your needs, and behaves in ways that feel natural and personalized.
One intelligence on all your devices
Lenovo Qira is a unified, integrated intelligence platform that works seamlessly across all Lenovo and Motorola devices. It accompanies you wherever you are, from personal computers and tablets to smartphones, wearable devices, and others, to maintain continuity of experience and use as you move between different screens, tasks, and environments.
Lenovo Qira is based on three core features and works as a true, integrated intelligence across devices, unlike traditional chatbots.
Constant presence
Lenovo Qira integrates with the system across multiple natural entry points for a familiar and consistent user experience across all devices. It can proactively offer suggestions and respond immediately when called upon, or quietly remain in the background until needed, adapting to how and when each user interacts. It can be easily summoned by saying “Hey Qira”, by pressing the dedicated button, or clicking on the custom icon.
Tasks
Lenovo Qira can work on the user’s behalf by leveraging device capabilities and local AI, even when offline, to accomplish various tasks. It coordinates tasks across applications and devices, coordinates between agents, and accelerates work without forcing users to manage every step themselves.
perception
Lenovo Qira builds an integrated knowledge base that brings together user-selected interactions, memories, and documents across devices with a focus on user privacy and consent. Through cross-device sensing and perception, the system develops a basic model of the user’s world, understanding context, continuity, and personal patterns over time.
Designed for real-life moments
Lenovo Qira delivers a set of essential experiences designed to meet users’ real-world needs, helping them stay on track, express themselves and seamlessly integrate into their digital lives.
Next step
Whenever you need it, Lenovo Qira delivers proactive, contextual suggestions based on what you’re doing in the moment, while staying true to different devices as they evolve over time. The system shows you useful next steps to help you move forward without any additional steps.
Write to me
From emails and documents to messages and notes, Lenovo Qira helps you write right on your screen. It understands what you’re working on, adapts to your style and purpose, and helps you turn your ideas into clear, concise writing without forcing you to start with a blank page or switch between applications.
Direct interaction
Lenovo Qira enables instant multimedia interaction while sharing your screen or camera. It listens intently to what you say and what you show, making collaboration with AI seamless and interactive.
Keep up to date with developments
Step away from your devices for a little while and then come back without losing your focus. Lenovo Qira will summarize what happened while you were away, highlight what’s important, and help you return to your work or conversations with clarity and confidence.
Enhanced attention
Lenovo Qira supports meetings and conversations by providing instant transcription and translations when activated, recording key points and creating summaries that you can refer to later. When you need to retrieve decisions or details, they are displayed to you instantly.
In moments that require deeper focus, personalized AI experiences such as the Creator Zone help users create and edit images and graphics with less distraction and greater creative control.
Privacy and the comprehensive system

The Lenovo Qira experience is designed to be secure, ethical, and transparent.
Lenovo Qira relies on a growing ecosystem of industry-leading partners, adding specialized intelligence where it’s needed most, while maintaining a consistent and familiar user experience across all devices.
