On-Device Bounty Program (Mobile)

Hello Product Hunters! 👋

I’m Alan, Chief Product Officer of NEXA AI, and I’m excited to share Nexa × Qualcomm On-Device Bounty Program (Mobile) — a hands-on program for Android developers who want to build real AI apps that run fully on device.

We partnered with Qualcomm on this program because the mobile local AI app ecosystem is still at a very early stage. On the PC side, use cases and interaction models are diverse, and AI shows up in many real workflows. On mobile, most on-device “AI apps” are still chatbots, limited by latency, battery, performance, and cost.

NPUs changed that. With Qualcomm Hexagon NPU's on-device acceleration and NexaSDK's inference optimizations, multimodal models can now run fast, efficiently, and reliably on phones.

It's time to redefine what on-device AI on mobile can be.

What you can build with this new technology combo:

• A working Android AI app that runs locally on Qualcomm Hexagon NPU

• Powered by NexaSDK, our open-source unified runtime for running SOTA AI models across devices and backends.

• Focused on privacy-first, local-first, and inference-budget friendly

• Practical use cases (assistive tools, agents, workflows, multimodal apps)

What you win

• $6,500 in total cash prizes + Flagship Snapdragon-powered devices

• Partnership and marketing opportunities with Qualcomm and Nexa

• Expert mentorship along the way

Submission Deadline: Feb 15

Looking forward to seeing what you build.
