    Motorola introduces its new AI that follows you seamlessly from one device to another.

    Motorola has taken advantage of Lenovo Tech World 2026 to announce three key innovations: its first foldable phone, the ultra-premium Signature range, and especially Motorola Qira, a shared artificial intelligence platform with Lenovo. Qira, defined as "personal ambient intelligence," integrates into smartphones, tablets, and computers, allowing for context and continuity across devices. The significance of this launch lies in Lenovo and Motorola's vision: a unified AI that accompanies the user across all their devices. While this seems like a logical evolution, the reality is that most current assistants fail to maintain context across platforms. Qira allows, for example, to start a task on a mobile and continue it on a laptop without losing information or repeating instructions, addressing one of the major challenges of digital productivity: fragmentation between apps and devices. This move is a direct response to Apple's ecosystem, which is known for the integration between iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Lenovo aims to replicate that experience, but with AI at the core, betting on a different execution. Qira is not just a simple chatbot. It is an ambient intelligence integrated into the operating system, always available without the need to open applications. It can be activated by the command "Hey Qira," a dedicated key, or a permanent on-screen access, and works even without an internet connection thanks to local AI. Qira's proposal is based on three pillars: 1. Defined use cases: Lenovo and Motorola have identified specific functions where the platform can provide real value. 2. Privacy: Processing is primarily done on the device, keeping data local. Cloud use is optional and requires explicit consent, ensuring that Qira does not collect information without permission. 3. Context: So far, no manufacturer has managed to have their devices communicate naturally through AI. Samsung, Google, and Microsoft have tried, but their assistants do not remember actions across devices. Qira aims to overcome that barrier with deep system-level integration. Although there are applications like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude that offer advanced experiences, none are as integrated into the system as Qira or Galaxy AI. Qira will be available in the first quarter of 2026 on selected Lenovo devices and later on compatible Motorola phones, although the list of models has not yet been published. Lenovo's strategy is clear: to integrate existing AI services rather than compete directly with giants like OpenAI or Google in developing their own models. Qira acts as a platform that connects different AI services as needed. Ultimately, Lenovo aims to position itself as the alternative for those seeking a robust ecosystem outside of Apple and Google. This is no small challenge: building an ecosystem requires time, investment, and the trust of users and developers. Lenovo has resources, and Motorola has an established brand, but success will depend on the real effectiveness of Qira.
