Lenovo is set to release its own AI-powered on-device assistant, Qira, which will become a seamless part of its devices. Unlike existing digital assistants that rely on cloud processing and require users to actively engage with them, Qira will run in the background on Lenovo computers and Motorola smartphones.
Qira's developers claim it can anticipate a user's needs without needing any explicit instructions, offering proactive suggestions and assistance whenever needed. The AI assistant is expected to learn its user's habits over time, tailoring advice based on their daily routines and interactions. This means Qira could potentially draft emails, transcribe meetings, or summarize content that users may have missed.
While Lenovo says it prioritizes data security with its hybrid architecture, which relies more on in-device processing than cloud-based storage, this has raised questions about the assistant's potential impact on device performance. Unfortunately, Lenovo officials were unavailable to comment on whether Qira would add significant processing load to existing devices.
Qira is not the first attempt at creating a dedicated AI assistant for a major tech company – Apple's Siri and Google Assistant are well-established examples of this concept. However, with digital assistants like ChatGPT from OpenAI experiencing rapid growth in user base, it remains unclear whether users will adopt Qira.

... I mean, I've seen my grandkids playing around with Siri and Google Assistant on their parents' phones, but they're always careful not to mess up the device while using it 
. I worry that Qira might be a bit too sneaky, relying on background processing and learning habits without giving users much control over it 
. Still, if it can help make life easier for folks like me who just want to enjoy their retirement in peace, then I'm all for it 
. The main thing is data security, right? Lenovo's got that covered, so let's keep our eyes peeled on how Qira performs in the real world 
...
! Having an on-device assistant that can anticipate our needs without us having to ask is literally the future of tech 
. I mean, can you imagine waking up to a draft email for your meeting with just a few seconds of silence from Qira? Genius! 
It's like having a personal butler built into your laptop or phone 
.
Lenovo needs to make sure it won't slow down our devices. But overall, I'm super excited to try out Qira and see how well it works in real life 
. It's like, the more AI-powered tools we get, the less time we'll have to waste on tedious tasks 
.
. Will Qira become a thing? Only time will tell! 
. Like, I know they're saying hybrid architecture and all that, but when you're constantly running an AI assistant in the background, doesn't it just drain your battery faster? 
And what about storage space? Are we really sure Qira won't take up too much of our device's memory? 
It's like, I get the whole anticipatory thing is cool and all, but can we please just have a digital assistant that doesn't require us to actively engage with it every 5 seconds?! 
it's also reassuring to hear they prioritize data security, thats a must with all these new tech advancements 
as for the performance concerns, only time will tell, but im sure lenovo had that covered 
And what about those existing digital assistants like Siri and Google Assistant, do we really need another one trying to take over our lives? 
...
. The fact that it can learn your habits and offer proactive suggestions is super interesting. But at the same time, I'm a bit concerned about how it'll affect our devices' performance 
. What about all those security concerns? I mean, they're saying hybrid architecture is the way to go, but what if that just means more data being stored on our devices? 
on the ai assistant front? i mean, it's about time they stepped up their game and stopped relying on outdated tech 
. but seriously, qira sounds like a total lifesaver - who doesn't want an AI sidekick that can draft emails for them or summarize meetings while they're busy doing actual work 
. the fact that it learns your habits over time is genius 
. i'm still skeptical about the whole hybrid architecture thing tho... will it add any extra strain to my laptop's processor? idk, lenovo should've had a clearer answer by now 
.
️ Anyway, back to Lenovo... I wonder what kind of security measures they've got in place for this thing. Like, what if it starts collecting more data than we realize? 
️ or I'm switching to a different brand 
but hey, i guess only time will tell if Qira will be the game-changer we're all hoping for or just another gimmick 
. Lenovo says they're prioritizing security, but what if that just means hiding the truth from us? 
this AI thingy! like, can you imagine having an assistant that's literally following your every move without you even saying anything? it's like having your own personal butler
