“A whole ecosystem built to clear the way, so all that's left is where you need to go.”
“Agents really changes, the whole nature of the device in itself, starting with the fact that you know, if an AI understands the world the way we understand it, it's going to be closer to our senses.”
The digital world often feels overwhelming, a constant barrage of information and demands. But what if technology could simplify, understand, and proactively assist without taking over? This is the promise of Project Solara, a groundbreaking initiative revealed in a recent conference session, aiming to usher in an "agent-first" era of computing.
At Microsoft Build 2026, Qualcomm President and CEO Cristiano Amon joined Satya Nadella to discuss a monumental shift in the technology landscape. The conversation centered on the transition from an app-centric world to one dominated by intelligent AI agents, promising a profound redefinition of devices and user experiences. This new era, they argue, necessitates a fundamental rethinking of computing architecture, from silicon to cloud.
