## What changed

Hark, founded less than a year ago by Brett Adcock, released Hark Pro on 2026-10-06: an agentic assistant built on a computer-use model that drives a browser and desktop apps, with a chat pane, a feed of suggested actions, and widget panels. Free limited tier, subscriptions from $20 per month, apps on web, iOS, and Android. The company positions hardware for 2027 and claims data is never sold or shared with advertisers.

## What it means for buyers

A fourth major consumer personal agent lands beside Meta's Muse, OpenAI's Dots, and invite-only Instinct, and TechCrunch frames it explicitly as competing with that trio. The free entry tier undercuts Dots, which is gated to paid ChatGPT plans, so buyers can now trial a computer-use agent at zero cost, though Hark's end-to-end reliability is unproven and its privacy promises are vendor-stated. Cross-ref our personal AI agents comparison for how the four stack up.
