Lenovo Expands AI Library with Validated Use Cases to Accelerate Enterprise AI Adoption

Lenovo is strengthening its enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) portfolio with new validated use cases designed to help businesses move beyond experimentation and achieve measurable results faster. Through the expanded Lenovo AI Library, organizations can access enterprise-ready AI solutions that could accelerate deployment by up to 24 times compared with custom-built implementations.

The expansion focuses on helping businesses improve productivity, modernize IT operations, enhance customer experiences, and transform operational data into actionable insights. New additions include AI-powered computer vision solutions for retail and manufacturing, a Super Agent for contact centers, and Enterprise AI Claw applications for personal productivity and IT operations.

Among the notable solutions is Lenovo AI Computer Vision for Retail, which helps businesses analyze video and operational data to improve staffing, reduce customer waiting times, and optimize branch operations. One of Europe's largest retail banks is deploying the technology across 4,500 branches. Meanwhile, the manufacturing solution aims to identify workplace hazards up to 30% sooner and reduce accident-related costs by up to 20%.

Lenovo's Super Agent for Contact Centers also introduces conversational AI and enterprise knowledge integration to automate customer support workflows, potentially reducing average handling time by up to 38%. Other AI Claw solutions help employees automate repetitive tasks, accelerate research, and streamline IT service management.

The company's Knowledge Super Agent demonstrates the practical benefits of enterprise AI. Deployed across 3,000 Lenovo employees, the solution reduced knowledge retrieval time by 30%, helped sales teams prepare proposals twice as fast, and decreased escalations to subject-matter experts by 35%. Its technology also contributed to FIFA AI Pro, which provided all 48 teams participating in the FIFA World Cup 2026 with AI-powered football insights.

Beyond productivity, Lenovo is addressing another major challenge: the economics of AI. Research from The Futurum Group and Signal65 highlights how businesses must consider not only the cost per token but also the actual business value generated by AI workloads.

Signal65 analysis found that Lenovo Hybrid AI Factory infrastructure could deliver tokens at up to 70% lower cost than hyperscale API pricing at full utilization. The research also indicated that on-premises infrastructure could reach cost-per-token parity with API pricing at just over 30% utilization under the tested conditions.

Through Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage, the company combines validated AI solutions, infrastructure, and lifecycle services to help organizations deploy and scale AI more efficiently.

As enterprise AI adoption continues to grow, Lenovo's expanded AI Library offers businesses a practical pathway toward reducing deployment complexity, controlling infrastructure costs, and turning AI investments into measurable business outcomes.

PSA partners with Smart for a National ID-authenticated SIM Registration

Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), the wireless arm of PLDT Inc., has become the first mobile operator in the Philippines to integrate the Philippine Statistics Authority’s (PSA) National ID Authentication Services (NIDAS) into its SIM Registration process, streamlining identity verification for Smart Prepaid and TNT subscribers.

Through the PSA’s National ID eVerify platform, Smart can authenticate subscriber information against the National ID registry, helping improve the integrity of subscriber records.

The integration supports Republic Act No. 11934, or the SIM Registration Act, which promotes accountability in mobile communications and seeks to deter scams, fraud, and other unlawful activities involving SIM misuse.

“By integrating the National ID Authentication Services into our SIM Registration process, we aim to make registration simpler for our customers while strengthening safeguards against identity fraud. This partnership reflects our commitment to leveraging digital innovation for safer and more seamless mobile experiences for Filipinos,” said Menardo G. Jimenez, Jr., Chief Operating Officer of PLDT Inc.

Simplifying SIM Registration

The PSA’s NIDAS enables authorized institutions to verify identities through the National ID system. With the integration now live, Smart Prepaid and TNT subscribers only need to input their names and take a live selfie on Smart’s SIM Registration portal at https://simreg.smart.com.ph to verify their identity, significantly reducing the process from three minutes to within one minute.

“Reliable identity verification is key to making our SIM Registration more efficient. By enabling authentication against the National ID registry, we are significantly enhancing the registration journey while upholding the security and privacy of subscribers’ information,” said Lloyd R. Manaloto, officer-in-charge of Smart.

Advancing secure digital services

Established under Republic Act No. 11055, or the Philippine Identification System Act, the national identification infrastructure supports identity verification across various services.

The PSA continues to expand NIDAS adoption among private-sector institutions, demonstrating how trusted digital identity verification can help simplify customer onboarding and help prevent identity misuse.

“The National ID is more than a document we carry, or a number assigned to us. Its real value lies in the trust it builds and the opportunities it helps create. Let us continue building a future where every Filipino can use their National ID with confidence and benefit from a more secure and accessible digital environment,” said PSA Assistant Secretary Rosalinda P. Bautista, Deputy National Statistician of the PhilSys Registry Office, on behalf of Undersecretary Claire Dennis S. Mapa, PhD, National Statistician and Civil Registrar General.

Smart’s partnership with PSA underscores its commitment to tapping the latest innovations and strategic partnerships to deliver world-class mobile experiences for Filipinos.
