Microsoft’s new Agentic AI features announced for Windows 11 run on-device, powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Series processors. This brings artificial intelligence to the core of everyday computing at the operating system level. Copilot Voice and Vision features leverage the advanced NPU power offered by the Snapdragon architecture, allowing users to interact with their computers using natural voice commands.

This transformation aligns perfectly with Qualcomm’s long-held vision of “AI is the New UI.” Qualcomm is pioneering on-device “agentic” AI as the next evolutionary step in user interaction. In this approach, AI “agents” anticipate user intent, personalize their experiences, and make technology intuitive and easier to use.

This vision is now becoming a reality with Microsoft’s Agentic AI initiative at the operating system level. Features like Copilot Voice and Vision place natural interaction at the center, transforming the computer from a passive tool. This is reminiscent of the transformation that Qualcomm previewed at the Snapdragon Summit and SXSW events: AI is no longer the engine, but the interface.

The new Windows 11 experiences already run on all Snapdragon X Series laptops on the market. These devices represent the first generation with AI at their core, offering multi-day battery life and real-time responsiveness even when used offline.

This development marks the beginning of a new era where hardware and software converge to make AI truly personal and functional.
