Lenovo Unveils Qira Cross-Device AI Agent at CES

Lenovo unveiled its latest advancements in artificial intelligence at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Tuesday, introducing Qira, a cross-device personal AI agent designed to integrate seamlessly across its laptops, tablets, PCs, and Motorola smartphones.
