AGI has announced a collaboration to optimize its agent technology for Snapdragon-powered devices, aiming to expand private, on-device AI capabilities across smartphones, PCs, and emerging AI-native hardware. The companies say the work adapts AGI's hybrid agent architecture to Snapdragon processors, with a roadmap toward executing the full stack locally on devices.
According to a press release, the technology AGI describes is designed to interpret what appears on a device's screen, understand contextual cues, and perform actions across applications without requiring app-specific APIs or integrations. That capability, sometimes called "computer‑use," is driven by AGI's small-action models and an action-execution layer that the company says can operate directly on the phones and laptops users already own. AGI positions this approach as a way for device makers to embed agentic features into the platform itself while enabling third-party developers to access them natively through Snapdragon.
Both companies emphasize privacy and security as central to the effort. AGI frames the work as enabling private, personalized on-device agents that can act autonomously rather than only responding to user prompts. Qualcomm highlights energy efficiency and cross-application operation as design priorities for enabling agentic experiences on battery-constrained devices.
AGI said it will optimize its models and execution paths for Snapdragon processors to increase on-device processing. The company noted the platform is available to a set of select partners and that a live demonstration of an end-to-end agentic experience will be presented at MWC 2026 in Barcelona. AGI's agent stack, once fully optimized for Snapdragon, is expected to be offered to device partners in the months following that demonstration.
AGI, headquartered in San Francisco, describes itself as a developer of on-device intelligence capable of operating apps without APIs and reports a top ranking on the AndroidWorld leaderboard for mobile use performance since October 2025. Snapdragon is a product family of Qualcomm Technologies and its subsidiaries; the Snapdragon name is a trademark of Qualcomm Incorporated.
