Lenovo broadens its personal AI experience across more eligible devices, its newest PCs and wearables, and is introducing a more connected experience with users’ day-to-day apps.
First unveiled at Tech World earlier this year, Lenovo & Motorola Qira is a personal AI designed to work seamlessly across compatible Lenovo and Motorola devices.
At MWC in March, Lenovo began bringing that vision to market with the initial rollout of Lenovo Qira across more than 20 Lenovo devices.
Now, at Lenovo Innovation World during IFA 2026, Lenovo & Motorola Qira is expanding across more devices, applications, and markets through several major updates:
- Expanding support to eligible Lenovo PCs with 16GB of memory, broadening access beyond higher-memory configurations.
- Expanding to eligible Motorola devices as they receive the Android 17 upgrade, including select edge, signature, and razr devices.
- Integrating into moto watch ultra, making it the first wearable to support Lenovo & Motorola Qira.
- Expanding connected experiences through supported applications and services, including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Slack, Outlook Mail, and Outlook Calendar, through Lenovo’s new collaboration with Workato.
Since the initial rollout earlier this year, Lenovo has brought Lenovo & Motorola Qira to more than 80 supported PC configurations across its commercial and consumer portfolios, as well as select tablets and Motorola smartphones.
Lenovo & Motorola Qira currently supports six languages, with more languages coming. Lenovo also plans to expand the experience to additional device families and form factors by the end of 2026.
One Personal AI Across More Devices
Lenovo & Motorola Qira is built around a simple observation: people rarely spend their entire day on just one device.
An idea captured on a tablet may need to be continued later on a PC, while messages, notifications, and meeting details can become scattered across different devices and applications throughout the day.
By bringing prioritized notification summaries and cross-device knowledge into one interface, Lenovo & Motorola Qira is designed to help users catch up on what they missed, recall what matters, and continue where they left off with less switching between apps and devices.
Support for eligible Lenovo PCs with 16GB of memory broadens access beyond higher-memory configurations, while continued local model optimization strengthens the on-device AI foundation behind Lenovo & Motorola Qira.
Eligible users can download Lenovo Qira through Lenovo Support. Lenovo Qira will also come preloaded on supported Lenovo devices at a later date.
Lenovo & Motorola Qira will soon expand to eligible Motorola devices as they receive the Android 17 upgrade. The rollout will take place gradually, with timing varying by device and market.
On supported Motorola smartphones currently featuring moto ai, as well as tablets currently featuring AI Now, the Android 17 upgrade will introduce Motorola Qira, bringing Motorola users a new generation of AI capabilities.
Qira Comes to the Wrist
Motorola Qira will also be integrated into the moto watch ultra, making it the first wearable where the personal AI will be available.
Users will be able to raise their wrist or simply say “Hey Qira” to ask general questions or access information using Lenovo & Motorola Qira’s cross-device knowledge.
“Personal AI should not be another app waiting for a prompt,” said Dan Dery, Vice President of AI Ecosystem, Lenovo.
“It should understand what matters to you, move with you across devices and help orchestrate next steps across the agents, applications and services you choose. With this next evolution of Lenovo & Motorola Qira, we are bringing that vision closer to reality through intelligence that is built into the device, designed around the individual and developed with privacy, choice and control at its core.”
Expanding Across Everyday Apps and Services
Moving from intent to action often requires users to search across multiple email, calendar, and collaboration tools.
Through Lenovo’s new collaboration with Workato, Lenovo & Motorola Qira can connect with select applications and services on supported devices, including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Slack, Outlook Mail, and Outlook Calendar, helping users find relevant information and complete actions.
The integration is designed to create a more direct path from asking to doing, while maintaining user permission and control.
If a calendar event changes or an important update arrives through email or a group chat, users will not necessarily need to search through separate applications to find it. Instead, they can use Catch Me Up and take action from the same interface.
Lenovo is also collaborating with Notion while expanding Lenovo & Motorola Qira’s Perplexity integration, giving users more ways to make progress on projects and interests such as moodboards, documents, and research without constantly switching between applications or devices.
Users will be able to connect their Notion account to Lenovo & Motorola Qira, allowing them to edit and pull up information from their projects directly through Qira.
With the expanded Perplexity integration, users will also be able to conduct deeper research, including often accessing visual references related to their interests and goals.
Privacy, Security, and User Control at the Core
Privacy, security, and user control remain foundational to Lenovo & Motorola Qira.
The personal AI uses a hybrid, local-first architecture that prioritizes on-device processing where supported. Information added to a user’s personal knowledge base is encrypted and stored locally.
When cloud processing is required for a requested experience, Lenovo & Motorola Qira sends only the prompt and relevant context needed for that request through secure, encrypted cloud services.
This architecture is designed to give users the benefits of connected personal AI while keeping privacy and control central to the experience.
Availability
The availability, timing, and experience of the features showcased at IFA 2026 and described above may vary by device, market, configuration, and platform.
Some features may require software updates, user permission, supported applications or services, account sign-in, internet connectivity, or specific hardware and software configurations.
App integrations and connected-app functionality may also vary depending on the market, service, and account type.
