At CES 2026, Lenovo unveils its AI “super agent” and hybrid AI vision to unify experiences across devices, cloud and infrastructure
It is only a matter of days into the New Year, but a theme of the next 12 months is already clear: companies want to accelerate from AI, to AI agents, and then to “super agents.”
Under the Sphere in Las Vegas, as thousands of technologists gather along the Strip to hear about the latest innovations at CES, Lenovo has unveiled its “super agent” concept.
“One of the interesting things about the Lenovo opportunity was both the depth and breadth of the portfolio across our business,” Lenovo Group CTO Tolga Kurtoglu tells TechInformed.
“We have a devices business globally, but we also have infrastructure and storage,” he added. “Devices and the software stack on top of that, services and solutions. For somebody like me, as group CTO, that’s incredibly exciting because I get to look above those business units and think about long-term strategy and road maps.”
Kurtoglu, who previously worked at NASA, HP, and several Silicon Valley innovation institutions, joined Lenovo in 2024. He describes his core expertise as managing early-stage and emerging technologies, spotting early signals and developing them through a staged, commercially focused approach — a background that aligns with his next steps at the firm.
The ‘super agent’
At CES, Lenovo is unveiling its super agent concept: a single interface that orchestrates multiple AI models and agents to simplify complex workflows for end users.
“The super agent’s concept is the one that actually delivers that principle,” Kurtoglu said.
The super agent is designed to unify AI experiences across personal and enterprise devices. Users will be able to interact with the same AI interface on a phone, tablet or PC, while the AI retains both long- and short-term memory across devices.
“You shouldn’t get different answers on your phone versus your laptop. Your AI should have the most accurate digital information about you, in the way you share it,” Kurtoglu said, describing it as a unified and seamless experience.
Lenovo’s approach is hybrid, spanning endpoints, private servers, data centers, edge computing and cloud infrastructure.
“Our entire AI strategy is predicated on what we call a hybrid AI strategy. Both for data and compute, we also believe in the hybrid architecture… so the data and the compute, and also the models, would be distributed in the hybrid architecture,” he said.
The company aims to bring AI closer to where the data resides, improving security, privacy and latency, while enabling complex orchestration behind the scenes.
“If you have personally identifiable information and you want to keep that on-prem, or you have 3-D CAD designs that you want to keep within your walls, you need to bring the models and the AI close to the data,” he said.
Lenovo also plans to offer a marketplace-style approach to AI, giving users access to first-party and third-party agents and models through a unified interface.
The company is also tying its AI initiatives to its high-profile sports sponsorships. This year, Lenovo will be a global technology partner for both Formula One and the FIFA World Cup, integrating AI into fan experiences, in-stadium technology and referee tools.
“There will be AI-driven technology implementations for both, across fan experiences, referee technology and in-stadium technology,” he said, adding that Lenovo will be FIFA’s first single technology partner.
