Hark has made the personal AI assistant Hark Pro publicly available. The service offers free access and a subscription for intensive use. According to Hark, it is built around a model trained specifically to operate a computer and intended to carry out digital tasks on behalf of the user.
Users can grant the service access to email, calendars, files or payment details. During a demonstration, the assistant flagged expenses awaiting approval, unanswered emails and an upcoming meeting; it also offered to book a flight. The interface shows the agent navigating the web in a small window. According to head of design Abidhur Chowdhury, this visibility is intended to strengthen users’ confidence that the agent is proceeding correctly.
Hark emphasizes privacy. Chowdhury describes personalization as focused on specific tasks. His claim that the service completes tasks without having to hand control back to the user and delivers better results than competitors is an assessment by a company representative.
Why it matters
The assistant combines answering questions with carrying out tasks on the web and flagging outstanding matters. A practical consideration is the extent of access to personal accounts and data: the article highlights the security risks of sharing them. Displaying the agent’s progress allows users to monitor its activity, but does not in itself confirm that it is secure.

What this means
For individuals
Free access lets individuals try out whether delegating digital tasks helps them, and consider a subscription only after assessing their own usage.
