At the Tech World 2024 event, Lenovo unveiled the prototype of its smart home assistant called AI Buddy. Although this product is designed to compete with devices such as Amazon’s Echo smart assistant, it stands out from other smart assistants on the market with its innovative features and unique design.
The appearance of AI Buddy is similar to the large, foldable MagSif charger base, which also has a circular display. The display shows animated eyes that are created as emojis to simulate emotions and increase user interaction.

In addition to its new smart assistant, Lenovo has unveiled the AI ​​Mouse, which includes a dedicated button for AI Now.
