Hark debuts Hark Pro AI agent ahead of 2027 hardware launch

Brett Adcock's startup Hark has released Hark Pro, an AI agent accessible via web and mobile apps. The service offers a free tier alongside $20 and $100 monthly subscriptions, a pricing structure that mirrors Meta's recently launched Muse agent. Hark Pro utilizes a cloud system called Handoff to retain user context and manage up to six browser sessions simultaneously, enabling tasks such as automatic bill payments or proactive service refills based on email analysis. User credentials are stored in an encrypted vault that Hark states is inaccessible to the company. The release precedes Hark's physical devices, which are slated for 2027 and will feature AT&T cellular connectivity. Design lead Abidur Chowdhury emphasized a focus on portable, home-and-workplace utility, explicitly rejecting camera-equipped glasses or wearable pins. The company previously raised $700 million at a $6 billion valuation. While software agents like Hark Pro and Meta's Muse are rolling out in the US, regulatory frameworks in Europe currently lack clear provisions for software-approved payments, and Hark has not confirmed European availability for Hark Pro.
