Qualcomm is expanding its agentic AI strategy through a partnership with Google centered on Gemini Intelligence, aiming to let users move across Snapdragon-powered smartphones, PCs, smart glasses and cars while preserving personalized context. Speaking at Snapdragon Summit 2026 in Maui, Hawaii, on September 22, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said smartphones will remain central as AI agents replace app-by-app interactions by understanding intent, planning and completing tasks. A demonstration showed an agent using browsing history to suggest repurchasing sunscreen, then completing a $21.48 payment, reserving in-store pickup and accruing card points after confirmation. Qualcomm said the ecosystem will combine on-device and cloud processing, or hybrid AI, while addressing heat, battery and computing limits. Its work with Mastercard focuses on authentication and security for agentic commerce, in which AI agents discover products, compare prices and execute purchases. The initiative is planned to begin with Googlebook, described as the first Gemini-optimized laptop, before expanding across smartphones, smart glasses and connected cars. Qualcomm also highlighted its broader Snapdragon ecosystem, including 23 million Snapdragon Insiders, creators reaching 45 million people over the past year, device partners and brands such as Manchester United and Mercedes F1. Consent, privacy and responsibility for AI-mediated payment errors remain unresolved issues.
