GoKawiilHark launches Hark Pro, an AI assistant that operates your computer for you
Startup Hark, founded less than a year ago by Brett Adcock, released Hark Pro to the public today with a free tier and a paid subscription for heavier use. The app presents a full-screen interface with a central chat window, a feed of suggested actions, and visual 'panels' showing dashboards for things users care about, and it can connect to email, calendars, hard drives and payment accounts to carry out digital tasks on a user's behalf.

The release adds to a crowded field of AI personal-assistant products, including Muse, Instinct and Dots, all competing to find an interface people actually find indispensable. Hark's framing—building a user interface for AI rather than chasing AGI—suggests the company is betting that practical task automation, not raw model capability, will win users over. Design lead Abidur Chowdhury's demo highlighted both the promise and a recurring limitation: users often struggle to identify tasks the assistant can usefully perform.
- Hark Pro launched today with free access plus a paid subscription tier for power users.
- The product uses a model trained for computer use, letting it perform tasks like approving expenses or booking flights.
- Hark aims to become an operating system for future AI-driven computing, not just another chatbot app.
