Qualcomm has placed smart glasses as the top priority in its Snapdragon portfolio, saying personal AI agents need the context of what users see and hear. Senior Vice President Ziad Asghar said agents must understand who asked, where they are and what they are doing, and that glasses and other wearables can provide that data. He compared the market to the early smartphone era and said firms investing now could become future leaders.

Qualcomm maps AI future: smartphones stay, agents need partners, personalisation starts on the body

Qualcomm is setting agentic AI as the direction for its Snapdragon portfolio, unveiling two flagship mobile platforms and new PC, audio and wearable platforms at Snapdragon Summit 2026 in Maui. The company said smartphones will remain the central device, agents will require partner software that handles memory, judgement and action on-chip, and personalisation will begin with body-worn devices such as watches, earbuds and glasses that gather context.

Quality and context are hurdles to spread of on-device agents

On-device agents will need cloud-level quality and a way to carry user context across devices to be widely used, executives from Qualcomm and LiquidAI said at Snapdragon Summit. They cited a performance gap between local and cloud models and the need for agents to learn preferences separately on each device. LiquidAI proposed a two-layer approach combining a memory layer and an agent layer to transfer recorded context between devices.
