MAKING SMART TECHNOLOGIES ACCESSIBLE
Bringing great smart home experience to more households and making the technologies more accessible is one of our big goals in the connected world. After conducting a series of studies on consumers' pain points and needs, Lenovo designed the Lenovo Smart Assistant, a new mainstream digital personal assistant, with Amazon Alexa cloud-based voice services. Built in collaboration with Amazon, the elegantly designed Lenovo Smart Assistant recognises users' voice commands to conduct web searches, play music, create lists, calendar reminders and much more. And because Alexa's brains are in the cloud, it means she?s always getting smarter.
