Hark

A well-funded personal AI with a browser-using agent for web tasks; waitlist, no published price yet.

Group: Personal agents you message

Hark is a personal AI from Hark Labs, founded by Figure AI's Brett Adcock, that is not yet generally available. What Hark has published is a research preview of Handoff, a computer use agent that runs each task on its own virtual computer with a browser, file system and terminal and can use your connected accounts; the vendor lists ordering food, shopping, restaurant bookings, travel and research as examples.

The decision in plain English

As of 5 October 2026 Hark's own site still shows only a sign-up form, and no price or plan list is published on the pages we read. The founder said on X on 4 October that Hark launches this week and that the first 100,000 sign-ups get a paid plan free; the plan length and features were not stated, per RuntimeWire's report of the post. The Handoff preview, its benchmark claims and the demos are vendor material; TechCrunch noted the demo videos show only part of the process.

Best fit

People who want to follow a heavily funded personal assistant that works through a browser, and who are comfortable waiting for a published price, permissions list and independent testing before trusting it with accounts.

Poor fit

Anyone who needs a product they can use and price today: no plan, price or detailed approval controls are published yet.

Documented capabilities

Vendor statements, not verified task outcomes.

  • Computer use agent (Handoff) that completes web tasks on a dedicated virtual computer Source · checked 2026-10-05
  • Connects your existing accounts so tasks use saved addresses, preferences and history Source · checked 2026-10-05
  • Example tasks listed by the vendor: food orders, shopping, restaurant reservations, travel, research and LinkedIn outreach Source · checked 2026-10-05

Permissions and human control

  • Hark says Handoff can use your connected accounts, with saved addresses, preferences and history, to complete tasks such as orders and bookings. Hark's terms say its services can take actions on your behalf, and that local-access features use your existing login sessions and cookies. We did not find a published list of approval steps, spending limits or confirmation rules.

Documented controls do not prove that an agent always follows them.

Limits and open questions

  • Not generally available at the time of checking; sign-up is a waitlist
  • No price or plan list published on the pages we read; the free first-100,000 offer has no stated length or feature list
  • Benchmark and speed claims for Handoff (including a top spot on Online-Mind2Web) are the vendor's own, and the numbers come from its research preview, not from our testing
  • Press coverage (TechCrunch, 5 Aug 2026) notes the demo videos show only part of each task
  • Plan tiers named Pro, Pro², Pro³ and Pro⁴ come from TestingCatalog's reading of an App Store listing; Hark has not confirmed them (low confidence)
  • Described by the vendor; not tested by AgentComparison

Privacy and security

Hark's terms (posted 30 June 2026) say it may use your content to improve its services and train its models unless you opt out in account settings, and that content is still used for training if you send feedback or it is flagged for safety review. The terms also say you are responsible for actions taken through your account and that third-party sites may block automated activity. We did not review the full privacy policy in depth.

How to evaluate Hark yourself

  1. Pick one low-risk task that matches its documented capabilities: computer use agent (handoff) that completes web tasks on a dedicated virtual computer.
  2. Write the expected output and what counts as failure before you start.
  3. Connect the minimum access needed, and check approval settings first.
  4. Run it twice and compare, then review every action it took.
  5. Check cost after any free allowance. Unknown price is not free.
