No more digging through apps, no more reentering prompts or training new tools.

Motorola Qira offers features that are straightforward, intuitive, and always ready for what’s next. In Chat Mode, users can ask questions, get answers, or take action using context from their work and devices. Planning a trip or a group happy hour? Next Move offers helpful suggestions for actions that make sense based on what users are working on. Creator Zone also provides a dedicated space to generate and refine images across devices, so ideas can start on one screen and continue on another. To stay organized, Pay Attention helps users capture key points and actions during meetings or conversations, generating summaries and follow-up suggestions when prompted. And Catch Me Up summarizes what happened across devices while the user was away, providing a prioritized summary of missed messages, notifications, and updates.¹⁶

With Motorola Qira on motorola edge 70 max, users get a truly personalized AI experience that knows them across devices and helps them stay productive, creative, and connected.
