Motorola and Lenovo's always-on AI, Qira, receives a major phone expansion with the company's Android 17 upgrade. Qira is a context-aware AI that helps users find new outfits with "Style Sync" or stay in the loop with "Catch me up."

Motorola says that with its Android 17 upgrade, consumers should look out for Qira on the Signature, Razr, and Edge series. At the start of Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit, Motorola got a Qira announcement out of the way regarding its Android 17 upgrade. With the "Hey Qira" wake word, Moto says the AI can provide "features like Catch me up, the ability to ask urgent questions, and a knowledge base that features all of their saved files, preferences, and synced cross-device information."

Permitting Qira activates another level of assistance for your Motorola phone. Continuing a project from your phone on your PC is one of those unlocked features. "Pay Attention" helps users with transcribed audio recordings that "summarize key points." You can also find "Next Move," which suggests what you should do next.

Android 17 is where Moto users can expect to find Qira's massive expansion. Motorola is being selective, stating you'll see Qira on its Signature, Razr, and Edge devices. We were introduced to Qira earlier this year. The AI was a pretty big swing from Motorola and Lenovo, as the two companies went beyond "simple chatbots" to a "personal ambient intelligence" system.
