Motorola and parent Lenovo just dropped a new AI assistant that hops between your phone, tablet, PC and wearables without losing track of what you were doing.
How Qira Works
Say “Hey, Qira” or tap the dedicated key and the assistant surfaces flight check-ins, reminders and notes across devices-no app switching required. It keeps working even offline.
- Remembers your context over time
- Syncs notifications, notes and reminders
- Offers real-time transcription and translation
- Summarizes missed alerts by importance
Hardware & Partners
The assistant debuts alongside new gear like the Motorola Razr Fold and Razr FIFA Edition, plus the Moto Watch. Lenovo says Qira will integrate with Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity to expand what it can do.
Dan Dery, VP of AI Ecosystem at Lenovo, framed the goal:
> “Our goal is to make AI feel less like a tool you use and more like an intelligence that works with you, continuously and naturally.”
Launch Timeline
| Phase | Devices | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Select Lenovo laptops & tablets | Q1 2026 |
| 2 | Supported Motorola smartphones | Later in 2026 |
Qira already won Best AI in the Best of CES 2026 Awards, setting up a fresh showdown with Samsung and Google’s AI arsenals.
Key Takeaways
- Qira runs at system level-no separate app needed
- Learns your habits and anticipates next steps
- Works across Motorola and Lenovo hardware seamlessly
- Offline mode keeps core features running without data
As mobile AI races ahead, Qira’s cross-device memory could be the edge Motorola needs.
