Humain and Qualcomm launch Horizon Ultra, an agentic AI PC, at LEAP 2026

August 31, 2026

It replaces app navigation with intent-based commands, letting on-device AI agents book travel or handle financial tasks without step-by-step input.

  • Humain and Qualcomm unveiled Horizon Ultra, an 'agentic AI PC' powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite platform, at the LEAP 2026 conference in Riyadh, with enterprise availability from September 20, 2026.
  • Humain is a Saudi Public Investment Fund-owned company building full-stack AI capabilities; Qualcomm supplied the chip platform after over 12 months of joint hardware and software development.
  • Rather than switching between apps, users state an intended outcome and AI agents carry out multi-step tasks like booking travel or preparing presentations while learning preferences over time.
  • The Snapdragon X2 Elite chip packs an 18-core Qualcomm Oryon CPU with Adreno GPU and Hexagon NPU, delivering up to 80 trillion AI operations per second and up to 22 hours of battery life.
  • Horizon Ultra ships first on Microsoft Windows, with Humain planning to introduce its own operating system, HUMAIN OS, for the line in 2027.
  • Qualcomm says the PC will eventually reach consumers, though no timing or pricing has been set beyond the initial enterprise rollout.
  • The launch pushes agentic AI from cloud assistants onto the device itself, and deepens Qualcomm's strategic footprint in Saudi Arabia's state-backed AI buildout beyond mobile chips.
