At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Lenovo introduced Qira, a new AI assistant designed to operate seamlessly across multiple devices. The announcement added momentum to the technology showcase, which runs until January 9 and continues to dominate global tech headlines.
Qira functions as an AI agent rather than a simple chatbot. It focuses on completing tasks autonomously instead of responding only to prompts. Lenovo said the assistant can move smoothly between laptops, smartphones, and other connected devices within its ecosystem.
As the world’s largest PC manufacturer, Lenovo enters this space from a position of strength. The company held a 28 per cent share of the global PC market in the third quarter of 2025. It outpaced rivals such as HP and Dell, which reported market shares of 21.5 per cent and 14.5 per cent.
What Makes Qira Different
Lenovo designed Qira to reflect the breadth of its product portfolio. Unlike competitors that focus on a single category, Lenovo offers a portfolio spanning laptops, tablets, smartphones, servers, and supercomputers. Its smartphone lineup operates under the Motorola brand, which will also integrate Qira.
One intelligence. All your devices. Lenovo & Motorola Qira is a built-in, cross-device AI that understands context, acts for you, and helps you move effortlessly through your day. #LenovoTechWorld

New AI-Powered Concepts
Alongside Qira, Lenovo showcased experimental hardware concepts. These included connected smart glasses and an AI-powered pendant called the AI Perceptive Companion. The wearable uses a camera and microphone to capture key moments, but only with user consent. Lenovo said the device allows hands-free interaction with Qira across platforms.

Lenovo also highlighted its global footprint at CES 2026. Despite being the only major Chinese firm featured prominently at the event, the company noted that most of its revenue comes from markets outside China, underscoring its international reach.
