Cristiano Amon wants you to know that AI agents will replace apps. Not some apps. All of them. The CEO of Qualcomm has decided the problem with your phone is that you have too much control over it. Soon you'll just talk to an agent like a digital butler who ignores you the same way Siri does now but with more processing power.
Qualcomm is working on forty new AI-powered devices. Forty. They couldn't pick a normal number like twelve or twenty. They went with forty because nothing says "we have a focused product strategy" like throwing sh*t at the wall in bulk. One of these devices will definitely be smart glasses, which Amon believes could become as big as the smartphone. He's bullish on them. That's the word he used. Bullish. The same word every CEO uses before their product dies quietly in a Best Buy clearance bin next to the Amazon Fire Phone.
Smart glasses will change everything, apparently. You'll wear them on your face. They'll have AI. They'll replace your phone, your computer, your personality. Retail traders are already Googling "Qualcomm stock price" and opening Robinhood accounts because a CEO said he's bullish on glasses. These are the same people who bought Meta stock when Zuckerberg promised the metaverse would replace reality. They're still waiting for that one to pan out.
The AI agents will know what you want before you want it. They'll order your coffee. They'll book your meetings. They'll remind you that you're spending money on subscriptions to AI agents instead of saving for retirement. Qualcomm will supply the chips that power this future. Forty devices worth of chips. Maybe forty-one if they get excited.
Amon didn't mention which apps the AI agents will replace first, but my money's on the one that shows you your bank account after you buy smart glasses you don't need.
