Motorola has introduced a fresh wave of enhancements to its Moto AI chatbot, aiming to redefine how users interact with AI on their devices. The Lenovo-owned brand unveiled four new AI-powered features—Next Move, Playlist Studio, Image Studio, and Look and Talk—designed to enrich the user experience through smart, context-aware assistance. Alongside these innovations, Motorola has also joined forces with industry giants Google, Microsoft, Meta, and the emerging AI platform Perplexity to weave their capabilities into Moto AI’s expanding ecosystem. These collaborations include special offers such as a free three-month trial of Google One AI Premium and Perplexity Pro for select devices.
Moto AI, which initially launched as an open beta in December 2024, remains in beta testing and continues to evolve based on user feedback. Currently available on the latest Razr and Edge smartphones, the AI assistant has already seen widespread testing across thousands of users who explored early features like Catch Me Up, Pay Attention, and Remember This. Responding to users’ demand for more intuitive and situational features, Motorola has refined its existing tools while rolling out new ones that aim to better anticipate and serve user needs.
Among the standout new features is Next Move, which offers context-aware suggestions by analyzing the content visible on the user’s screen. Whether it’s exploring more about a topic or navigating to the next step in a task, this tool is built to help users engage with AI in a more natural, informed manner. Playlist Studio adds a playful and highly personalized layer to the experience, allowing users to create custom playlists based on prompts or current content. From casual ideas like “Pizza night Y2K jams” to niche moods, Moto AI promises to deliver tailored audio experiences.
Image Studio introduces a creative dimension to Moto AI, transforming text prompts into visual content such as images, avatars, stickers, and wallpapers. These visuals can then be shared directly through messaging platforms or social media. Look and Talk, currently exclusive to the Moto Razr 60 Ultra, allows users to activate and interact with Moto AI simply by looking at the device, even when it’s in stand or tent mode. This feature also supports voice interaction, offering verbal responses for hands-free communication.
Motorola’s partnership with Google integrates powerful tools like Gemini and Gemini Live into its ecosystem. Users with Razr series devices will be able to access these AI experiences from the external display, enhancing usability even when the phone is closed. Buyers of eligible devices, including the latest Razr and Edge series smartphones, will receive a complimentary three-month subscription to the Google One AI Premium package, which includes access to Gemini Advanced features, Gemini in Workspace apps, and 2TB of cloud storage.
Further expanding its collaborative reach, Motorola is also working with Meta to bring its Smart Connect application to the Meta Horizon Store. This integration will allow Meta Quest users to access notifications, favorite apps, and essential smartphone features within a mixed reality environment. Microsoft’s Copilot AI is also being integrated directly into Moto AI, offering Edge 60 Pro and Razr Ultra users seamless access to Microsoft’s chatbot assistant.
In yet another strategic alliance, Motorola has teamed up with Perplexity to integrate its conversational AI search tool into Moto AI. Users performing search-related queries will see an “Explore with Perplexity” option, which delivers detailed answers using Perplexity’s sophisticated AI engine. New Motorola devices released after March 3 will also include a three-month trial of the Perplexity Pro subscription, exclusively available to new subscribers.
With these advancements, Motorola is solidifying its position in the competitive AI-enabled smartphone landscape. By combining homegrown innovation with the best of what Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Perplexity have to offer, Motorola aims to create a future-ready AI assistant that is not only powerful and personal, but also deeply embedded in how users interact with their digital lives.
