Lenovo partnered with Nexa AI to develop AI BUDDY, an on-device AI agent that combines natural voice interaction with sophisticated tool-use capabilities, demonstrating Lenovo's vision for AI PC experiences.

The Challenge

Lenovo aimed to create an intelligent voice-based assistant that could not only understand and respond to users but also execute real actions on their PCs. The solution needed to maintain data privacy through on-device processing while delivering a natural and efficient user experience.

The Solution

We developed AI BUDDY, powered by Nexa SDK and Octopus models that enable seamless voice-based interactions and accurate tool-use capabilities.

The system processes natural voice commands and executes corresponding actions like scheduling meetings and setting reminders directly on the device. By incorporating sentiment analysis, AI BUDDY adapts its responses and behavior to user preferences, creating a personalized AI PC experience.

Industry Recognition

AI BUDDY was showcased at Lenovo TechWorld 2024, demonstrating how sophisticated AI assistants can maintain user privacy while delivering responsive, practical functionality on-device. Lenovo's PCSD CTO Daryl Cromer endorsed the solution:

"The advances we demo at #LenovoTechWorld aren't just technical feats. They represent a strategic vision for the future of computing. This year, we showed off a world where AI is personalized, productive, protected, and for all."
