Motorola offers a feature called Look and Talk on select Razr Ultra smartphones that activates the moto ai assistant when the phone's camera detects the user looking at the screen, requiring no wake word or button press. The user then speaks their query aloud.
Look and Talk uses the phone's front-facing camera to perform continuous face detection. When the phone is propped in tent or stand mode and the camera recognizes the user's face, the moto ai assistant launches automatically and enters listening mode. The feature requires the motorola razr ultra 2025 or razr 60 ultra. It is an opt-in feature that requires Face Unlock to be set up. The feature works only when the phone is in tent or stand mode with the external display visible, not when the phone is fully closed.
Motorola offers Playlist Studio, a moto ai feature that generates a themed music playlist on Amazon Music based on a text prompt or what is currently on the user's phone screen. Users type a mood or theme description, and the AI creates a matching playlist.
Playlist Studio is part of the moto ai suite, launched in April 2025 alongside the Razr and Edge 2025 device families. It takes a natural language description — such as a mood, activity, or theme — as input and generates a curated playlist, delivered through Amazon Music. The feature requires a free Amazon Music account. It can also contextually respond to what is on screen, for example suggesting a playlist related to a recipe the user is viewing.
Motorola offers a suite of on-device AI productivity features — Catch Me Up, Pay Attention, and Remember This — on select Razr and Edge smartphones. These features summarize missed notifications, transcribe and summarize spoken conversations, and save on-screen information with AI-generated context for later recall.
Catch Me Up reads incoming messages from supported messaging apps and produces a prioritized text summary, allowing users to catch up without scrolling. Pay Attention records audio, transcribes it word-for-word, and produces a summary — functioning as an AI-assisted note-taker. Remember This saves screenshots, photos, and text with AI-generated descriptions into a personal journal. These features were first launched in a closed beta in late 2024 and became generally available in May 2025 alongside the Razr 2025 series. The Catch Me Up feature is powered by Meta's Llama large language model, marking the first smartphone integration of Llama, which also enables offline summaries.
