Lenovo unveiled a “glowing orb” – the prototype AI assistant robot Workmate, equipped with an integrated projection module and artificial intelligence

New Digital Assistant from Lenovo – “AI Workmate Concept”

Lenovo has released a conceptual prototype of an AI assistant that goes beyond conventional software and becomes a physical object. The idea is to change the way employees interact with intelligent systems while working.

Appearance
The device looks like a simple desk lamp on an ergonomic stand, but it’s not just a light fixture – behind it hides a real robot with an integrated screen and a set of productivity-enhancing features.

Interaction Methods – Text
- Voice
- Gestures
- Spatial Control

All input data is processed locally, so continuous cloud connectivity isn’t required.

Functionality
In addition to typical assistant tasks (information retrieval, suggestions, meeting scheduling), AI Workmate focuses on practical business processes:

Task | How It Helps
Scanning and summarizing documents | Automatically extracts key information
Note organization | Creates structured lists and reminders
Presentation creation | Suggests templates, formats slides, generates content

Additional Features
The device is equipped with a projector that allows quick demonstration of materials to a wide audience. The projection can be directed at a table, wall, or any nearby surface.

Thus, the Lenovo AI Workmate Concept is a compact robot-assistant capable of simplifying and speeding up employees’ daily work by combining multiple interaction methods into one device.
