For years, Artificial Intelligence has been central to Motorola’s innovation, enhancing camera, battery, display, and device responsiveness. But AI continues to evolve. Going beyond device specs, Motorola is shaping moto ai1 into a proactive, intuitive companion with the new motorola razr and edge families.
Motorola’s beta program insights influenced the development of moto ai’s most compelling features yet—transforming daily interactions while empowering consumers to choose the AI tools they prefer. To make this process seamless, Motorola is integrating with top industry leaders like Google, Meta, Microsoft and Perplexity for enhanced assistance, control, and access to powerful tools—boosting productivity, creativity, and everyday convenience.
Magical features seamlessly integrated for easy access
Earlier this year, Motorola launched its first moto ai beta program to test and grow a few core advanced features: Catch me up2,3 prompts, Pay attention, and Remember this. Thousands of global users participated, highlighting how the features are practical and useful, but they also wanted more guidance on matching the right features with the right moments. To address this, Motorola enhanced these initial prompts and features and developed new experiences that tap into AI’s full potential. And all of them will be available on the latest generation of razr and edge devices.
With moto ai’s new Next Move experience, users can now receive tailored recommendations based on what’s on their screen. Whether it’s a recipe or travel plans, moto ai provides next step suggestions for them to explore, ideal for beginners and AI enthusiasts alike who want to learn what AI can do for them.
To accompany their activities, users can turn to Playlist Studio to set the tone for the day. It uses on-screen content or a prompt within the moto ai app to curate a perfect playlist.4 And consumers can make it highly specific. For example, if someone wants to make their homemade dinner feel more special, they can say, “Pizza night Y2K jams,” and get a list of songs based on that mood or theme.
And Image Studio5 helps bring fresh entertainment to group chats and social media. It uses generative AI creation and editing capabilities to turn ideas into images, avatars, stickers, and wallpapers.
Plus, for the first time on a smartphone, Perplexity’s AI-enhanced search is integrated directly within moto ai. Whether users are viewing upcoming concert dates or researching their next vacation destination, moto ai offers them the choice to “Explore with Perplexity.” When doing so, they can dive even deeper into a topic, using Perplexity’s powerful search functionalities to connect the dots. And for additional discovery and advanced features, Motorola smartphone users will receive three free months of Perplexity Pro.6 Motorola’s partnership represents Perplexity’s first and deepest smartphone integration with the Perplexity Assistant also optimized to work with the external display on razr phones.
Hands-free access for effortless support
For razr 60 ultra/razr ultra users, they can unlock moto ai’s Look and Talk with a simple glance. Thanks to the advanced camera sensor and the devices’ unique form factor, users can place razr in stand or tent mode, look at the screen, and get immediate assistance—no commands or taps required. They can even use their voice for quick questions and receive audible responses, choose to catch up on missed notifications, or ask moto ai to transcribe and summarize conversations.
Memories and new ideas on demand
When helping a friend avoid tourist traps on vacation, new razr family users in the U.S. can turn to Gemini. Gemini can make sharing recommendations with a friend really easy by connecting to one’s Google Photos app. All they have to do is say something like, “My friend is visiting Barcelona. Look up where I went while I was there from my Photos, and create a sample itinerary.” Gemini will then scan their Google Photos library, analyze the pictures they took while there, understand the context and location and prepare a custom itinerary to text to a friend. And the best part, on the razr devices, they can do this all without even having to flip open the device; razr is the first flip phone where Google Photos connected to Gemini is accessible from the external display.
This new experience builds on Motorola’s deep integration with Google, which includes making Gemini and Gemini Live available on all devices, including right from razr’s external display, for creative planning and problem solving. Plus, eligible purchasers of a new Motorola device will get three months of Google One AI Premium,8 which includes access to Gemini Advanced, NotebookLM Plus, and Gemini in Google apps to create, work, and study smarter. With AI Premium, users can unlock the best of Google AI, priority access to Gemini’s newest features, and 2TB of cloud storage at no extra cost.8
Content sharing across the device ecosystem
Users can also take advantage of the device ecosystem and utilize Smart Connect with AI, which was announced earlier in the year. A simple natural language voice or text command like, “show me Photos on my TV,” seamlessly connects users’ ecosystem of devices, allowing them to stream an app to a larger display,9 access files across devices, mirror their phone to a PC or tablet,10 or activate a hub view for multitasking. Plus, Smart Connect is available in the Meta Horizon Store, so Meta Quest users can tap into their messages, favorite apps and more, right from their headset.
Accessible from anywhere
As learned from beta feedback, Motorola is making it even easier to access moto ai features. On the razr 60 ultra/razr ultra and the edge 60 pro, users can take advantage of the new AI key to launch moto ai from any screen. They can also tap the floating icon or use smart search in the app tray.
Plus, new to these devices, users will also be able to access Microsoft Copilot directly via Moto ai – bringing Copilot experiences to Motorola phones in addition to Lenovo’s existing wide range of Copilot+ PCs. Copilot is a true AI companion, and through any of the moto ai ingress points, you can “Ask Copilot” and get quick answers, a second opinion, brainstorm ideas or just vent.
Photo enhancements and refined feature sets
Aside from these new capabilities, Motorola is offering additional moto ai enhancements specifically geared toward photography lovers. Users of the new razr and edge devices will be able to turn to:
- Signature Style, which uses AI to automatically tune images, adjusting color, lighting, and tone based on the scene, so users don’t need to manually edit. For those who want more editing control, they can personalize the style for food, portraits, or landscapes. For everything else, smart adjustments happen behind the scenes.
- Group Shot,11 which uses AI to blend multiple shots and create an image where everyone’s eyes are open.
Initial moto ai advanced prompts and features have also evolved. Catch me up is now powered by Meta’s industry-leading open-source model, Llama, the first time it’s ever been integrated on a smartphone, allowing users to get notification summaries even while offline. Catch me up also now includes additional third party support and quick actions, which allows users to respond directly to missed calls and messages. Pay attention enhances transcription with speaker labels, transcription, UI and UX improvements.
