Hark opens Pro, a computer-use assistant for everyday tasks
The new assistant suggests tasks and shows its web activity, while Hark's privacy and reliability claims still need real-world testing.
A wider release for Hark Pro
Hark made its Pro personal assistant broadly available on October 6, TechCrunch reported after a demonstration by design lead Abidur Chowdhury. The service has free access and a subscription tier for heavier use, according to the report; Hark’s website currently offers a sign-in page. Its interface combines a central conversation with suggested actions and small information panels. Users can connect services such as email and calendars so the assistant can propose and carry out digital tasks. This is a product release, not evidence that the assistant can complete every task shown in a demonstration.
Visibility and privacy remain open questions
TechCrunch observed the agent’s web navigation displayed in a small window, which Hark says is intended to help users see what it is doing. The company describes its underlying model as trained for computer use and says its approach is more useful and privacy-conscious than rival assistants. Those comparisons and privacy assurances are company claims, not findings verified by the demonstration. Connecting personal accounts also raises practical questions about access, retention and security that the reviewed sources do not resolve. Hark says it plans a separate AI-focused device in 2027, but has not disclosed its form or shown that it will ship on that schedule.
