Hark launches Hark Pro AI personal assistant with privacy-focused UX
Hark, a startup founded by Brett Adcock, has widely released Hark Pro, a full‑screen AI personal assistant that integrates with users’ email, calendar and files and offers a free tier plus subscription for heavy users. The product uses a model trained specifically for computer tasks, emphasizes privacy and transparency (it shows how the agent navigates the web), and the company says it plans an AI‑native device to support the software in 2027.
