Motorola at last, and how to the car of the artificial intelligence. The Lenovo company today announced a series of important updates for Moto AIhis AI tool suitewith the aim of getting up to your rivals. Rivals that, everything is said, have been exploiting this technology for longer.

To plant them, Motorola has not only opted for functions already known as the photographic edition or assistance, but has strengthened ties with the great players of the sector, to know Google, Meta, Microsoft and even Perplexity. This is everything that offers Moto AI.

IA arrives in Motorola

AI is not the future, but the present in smartphones. He has a way to go, but the first great advances are here. Samsung was the first to bet on this technology with Galaxy AIprobably one of the most outstanding suites, and the rest of the brands soon got into the wave. Currently, brands such as Oppo, Alive, Xiaomi either Realme And even Apple with Apple Intelligence They offer generative AI tools. He caught the attention that Motorola, a Lenovo brand that presumes to be the fourth manufacturer in Europe and has not stopped growing, was not there.

That was until the end of last year. It was then that Motorola announced Moto AIyour AI tools suite, in beta phase. This IA has only been available, so far, in the Razr 50 and Edge 50as well as in the recently announced Motorola Edge 60 Fusion. Today he takes a step further with its launch availability in the RAZR 60 and Moto Edge 60 that the firm has presented in New York.

That this is an important step for Motorola do not say it, it is assumed to know the alliance they have taken with giants such as Google, Meta, Microsoft and Perplexity To offer the more AI tools, the better. A matter of giving options with the advantage that everything is a touch of distance.

What offers (and wants to offer) Moto ai

So far, Moto AI offered a relatively limited range of options: Catch Me Up (a notification summary), Pay Attention (to record, transcribe and summarize voice and text), Remembero This (to create a second brain of things to remember in the newspaper app) and Magic Canvas (to generate wallpapers with AI). With the novelties announced in New York, the suite level up and goes on to offer a lot of more juicy functions.

The first is Next Move. This function analyzes what is being shown on the screen and offers suggestions on what to do next. You are already looking at recipes for Saturday dinner with friends or planning a trip, you can invoke the AI ​​to suggest options or ideas.

Another function, is focused on music lovers, is Playlist Studio. As you can intuit of your name, this function creates custom reproduction lists according to what you are doing. With only one command, for example: “Music for cooking pasta”, prepare a musical selection according to the context. You can also create the list based on what is shown on the screen. Here it should be noted that this function, for now, only works with Amazon Music.

Continuing with the most artistic side, Image Studio It allows you to create images, funds and stickers with only one prompt using generative. For those who enjoy photography, Motorola has also included Signature Style and Group Shot. The first is an automatic photo editing system based on the scene. The second, a tool to combine several images in one so that, for example, all people present come out with their eyes open. These two functions will only be available in the most recent RAZR and Edge.

In that sense, the integration of Moto AI in the RAZR 60 Ultra does not require even touching the screen. Thanks to the function Look and talkit will be enough to put the semi -pleading phone on the table to make it an assistant of AI capable of, for example, answer questions, summarize notifications or transcribe and summarize conversations

Motorola relies on the greats

Gemini and Gemini Live They are also present on the phone. You can access Google’s AI even from the external screen (in the case of Razr 60 Ultra) and, in addition, it is also possible to use Microsoft Copilot. The integration of the latter is in Moto AI, from where the user can ask questions, get answers, etc.

Integration with Meta Model Models It has been carried out in the Catch Me Up function mentioned above. It is the first time that this is integrated into a smartphone and, in the case of Motorola, it will allow you to receive notifications even when we have no connection.

It should also be noted that Motorola points to both be the first brand to integrate the perplexity search via. Users can choose “Explore with perplexity” to use their integrated search engine and receive information or deepen a topic, even on the external RAZR 60 ultra screen. This is really interesting and opens the door for Perplexity to open its way in such an important field for growth as it is that of smartphones.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that Motorola’s new smartphones have an exclusive button to access Moto AI, in addition to being able to do it from the floating icon or the menu. It is also compatible with Smart Connectthe function announced in the CES at the beginning of the year that allows to connect ecosystems with each other (the mobile to the TV or the PC, for example) through AI and voice commands.

What devices can be used

Moto ai is still taking its first steps and, for the moment, is limited to specific devices. To the Motorola Razr 50 and Edge 50 of last year the new folding, RAZR 60 Ultra, and the RA RAC 60. From Motorola they say that it will be available in “devices selected in Asia, Europe, Latin America and Oceania” are added, so we are waiting for details.
