Lenovo showcased two new AI-based productivity companion concepts at MWC: the AI Workmate Concept and the AI Work Companion Concept. The Workmate Concept is a small robotic arm on a swiveling base featuring a screen displaying expressive eyes, designed to act as an always-on desk assistant. It processes voice commands and gestures locally, scans documents for summaries or presentations using its integrated camera, and includes a projector for sharing content. The Work Companion Concept resembles a large-screen alarm clock that syncs schedules across devices to create balanced daily plans, monitors screen time to prevent burnout, and offers playful interactions. It also functions as a docking station, connecting a laptop to multiple displays and providing USB ports. While Lenovo has a history of commercializing concepts, it has not confirmed if these specific AI companions will be released as real products.
