You will soon be able to use native AI features on Tecno devices
Tecno AI Vision, the company’s suite of artificial intelligence (AI) features, was announced last week at the Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin 2024. The consumer technology brand claimed that the features will be available across its “smart device ecosystem”. The company also highlighted various features including AI Search, AI Erase, real-time call translation in over 20 languages and more. Notably, Tecno is also upgrading its native virtual assistant Ella by integrating Google Gemini capabilities. This allows the AI assistant to respond to a conversation while completing tasks.

In a press releasethe company introduced the Tecno AI Vision. While the name suggests computer vision-related features, the term is used to describe the entire suite of AI features that the company offers. Tecno did not specify whether these features will be available for free or for a fee. The list of supported devices was also not disclosed.
The company gave a detailed description of the AI features that will be available to users in a video. One of them is Ella, the company’s native virtual assistant. The assistant will be integrated with Gemini to gain conversational capabilities.
Another interesting feature is real-time call transcription and translation. Tecno says that users will get the transcription of the call while they are on the call, and that it supports over 20 languages. Tecno says that there is support for six major languages and over 14 minority languages. The company has not yet released the list of languages that will be supported.
Tecno AI Vision also has an email composing feature that can generate an email based on text prompts. The feature can also refine a pre-written email according to the specified criteria. It supports multiple languages, which means it can also be used to compose content in different languages.
Another interesting tool is AI Search, a visual lookup function similar to Circle-to-Search. It allows users to highlight the entire screen or a portion of it and quickly perform a web search over it. In addition, Tecno said that the AI Vision function can also record and summarize meetings.
An advanced feature in Tecno AI Vision is the ability to perform tasks using third-party apps. For example, a user can tell Ella AI Assistant to book a cab for a particular destination and it can complete all the steps and book the cab directly. Further, the suite also has image generation tools.
Notably, the company didn’t share any details on whether the AI features will be powered by a native AI model or third-party models. It’s also not known whether these features will be added on-device or server-side.
