"In the world of earnings reports and pitch decks, the ultimate goal of our current AI boom is usually called something like artificial general intelligence (AGI), superintelligence, or-if you're really nerdy- recursive self-improving AI. But in the real world, we're all just looking for the Enterprise computer: a digital assistant you can talk to that doesn't just fully understand you, but can do things for you instantly."
"The last couple of months have seen a lot of progress on this front. While I was at CES, I attended Lenovo's keynote, which unveiled Qira, an always-on AI that will be built into its devices going forward. As I wrote about at The Media Copilot, the innovation with Qira is that the assistant is now an "orchestrator of agents," seamlessly passing off the user to other services like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or others, depending on the user's request."
AI ambitions are often framed as AGI or superintelligence, but practical demand centers on conversational digital assistants that act on users' behalf. Device makers are introducing always-on assistants like Lenovo's Qira that orchestrate external AI services, routing requests to tools such as ChatGPT and Perplexity. That facilitator model avoids direct competition with specialized services and enables seamless handoffs between agents. Apple has adopted a similar approach by planning to integrate Google's Gemini into Siri, signaling acceptance of multi-provider orchestration. Agentic tools like Claude Code and Claude Coworker operate as autonomous agents capable of performing tasks beyond simple coding.
