Qualcomm and Google are expanding their collaboration around agentic AI, aiming to let users move across smartphones, PCs and cars without repeatedly explaining their preferences or history. At the Snapdragon Summit 2026 keynote on the 22nd in Maui, Hawaii, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon and Rick Osterloh, Google's Senior Vice President of Platforms & Devices, announced an expanded partnership centered on Google's Gemini Intelligence. Osterloh said personalization and cross-device continuity are central to Google's vision of an intelligence layer added to the operating system. The companies demonstrated an AI agent in a Snapdragon-based on-device secure environment that used browsing history to suggest repurchasing sunscreen, then completed a $21.48 payment, reserved in-store pickup and accrued card points after receiving confirmation. Qualcomm said close coordination between chips and software is needed to combine cloud and local AI while managing device thermal and computing limits. Qualcomm is also working with Mastercard on security and authentication for agentic commerce, in which AI agents discover products, compare prices and benefits, and make purchases for users. The planned ecosystem will begin with Googlebook, described as the first Gemini-optimized laptop, and expand to smartphones, smart glasses and connected cars. The companies are positioning Snapdragon devices, Google's Gemini models and Android as a platform for AI agents that perform tasks rather than merely answer questions. The initiative also faces unresolved issues involving consent, privacy and responsibility when AI-mediated payments go wrong.
