Lenovo is expanding its personal AI assistant, Lenovo & Motorola Qira, to more devices and giving it deeper access to the apps people already use every day.
Announced at Lenovo Innovation World during IFA 2026, the latest Qira expansion will bring the AI experience to more eligible Lenovo PCs and Motorola devices, while adding integrations with services including Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, Outlook and Notion.
It’s also making the jump to wearables for the first time through the new moto watch ultra.
One AI That Follows You Across Devices
Qira was first introduced earlier this year as Lenovo and Motorola’s attempt to create a personal AI that isn’t tied to a single device.
Instead, information and context can move between compatible PCs, tablets, smartphones and, soon, wearables. Features such as Catch Me Up can summarise important notifications and information, helping users pick up where they left off without jumping between multiple devices and apps.
Since its initial rollout, Qira has expanded to more than 80 supported PC configurations, alongside selected Lenovo tablets and Motorola smartphones.
Lenovo is now lowering the PC hardware requirement too, expanding support to eligible machines with 16GB of RAM, rather than limiting the experience to higher-memory configurations.
On the Motorola side, Qira will gradually roll out to eligible edge, signature and razr devices as they receive the Android 17 update. Supported devices currently using moto ai or AI Now will transition towards the new Motorola Qira experience.
Qira Is Coming to Your Wrist
The upcoming moto watch ultra will become the first wearable to integrate Qira.
Users will be able to raise their wrist or simply say “Hey Qira” to ask questions and retrieve information using Qira’s cross-device knowledge.
The idea is to make the assistant accessible without always having to reach for a smartphone or open another AI app.
“Personal AI should not be another app waiting for a prompt,” explained Dan Dery, Vice President of AI Ecosystem at Lenovo, describing Qira as an AI designed to move between devices and help users take their next action.
Gmail, Slack, Outlook and More Are Joining the Ecosystem
The bigger upgrade, however, could be Qira’s growing connection with everyday apps.
Through a new collaboration with Workato, Qira will be able to connect with supported services including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Slack, Outlook Mail and Outlook Calendar.
That means a user could potentially ask Qira about an updated meeting, important email or group conversation without manually searching through each individual app.
Lenovo is also working with Notion, allowing users to retrieve and edit information from their projects through Qira. An expanded Perplexity integration will provide deeper research capabilities and visual references without requiring users to constantly switch between apps.
Lenovo Is Keeping Qira Local Where Possible
With an AI assistant potentially accessing emails, calendars and personal information, privacy naturally becomes a major consideration.
Lenovo says Qira follows a hybrid, local-first architecture, prioritising on-device processing where supported. Information added to a user’s personal knowledge base is encrypted and stored locally.
When cloud processing is required, only the prompt and relevant context needed to complete that particular request are sent through encrypted cloud services.
Qira currently supports six languages, with additional languages, devices and form factors planned before the end of 2026.
The exact availability of the new features will vary depending on device, market and configuration, with some integrations requiring software updates, account sign-ins and user permissions.
Ultimately, Lenovo’s pitch for Qira isn’t another standalone chatbot. It’s an AI layer that follows you from your laptop to your phone and eventually your wrist, while connecting the apps and information scattered between them.
