TLDR:iPad Air sits between the standard iPad and iPad Pro in both capability and price.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR
M-series performance for low-latency AI
iPad Air's Apple Silicon provides fast browser performance and low-latency voice AI responses.
Split-view for concurrent work and AI
Run Lucy OS1 alongside your apps in split-view on iPad Air's large display.
Lightweight for mobile voice AI use
iPad Air's weight makes it comfortable for commute and travel use, unlike heavier iPad Pro models.
For Lucy OS1 specifically, the practical difference between iPad Air and iPad Pro is minimal. Both provide sufficient processing power for low-latency voice AI responses. The iPad Pro's Stage Manager feature allows more flexible window management, which is an advantage for power users who want to run Lucy OS1 alongside other apps. For the majority of Lucy OS1 use cases, iPad Air's performance is entirely sufficient.
Standard split-view mode is the most common approach: Lucy OS1 on one half of the screen, your primary work app on the other. Many iPad Air users also use Lucy OS1 in full screen for dedicated planning sessions, then return to split-view for ambient use. Adding Lucy OS1 to the iPad Air home screen from Safari creates app-like access.
Yes. iPad Air's compact size relative to iPad Pro makes it more portable, and many users use it for voice AI during commutes or travel.
