The company sees its mission as building a user interface for AI, not creating AGI or curing cancer. The foundation is a model trained specifically for computer use, and that’s what Hark Pro does—it uses your computer for you. That’s perhaps a less ambitious claim than some frontier labs are making, but a little humility goes a long way in winning over users.
And rather than an app, Hark’s goal is to create an operating system for the AI computers of our future. Hark Pro is a full-screen experience with a kind of homepage, featuring a central chat dialog and a feed populated by prompts for actions you might need it to take and visualizations the company calls “panels” that offer mini-dashboards for things you’re interested in.
The background is a piece of custom imagery tailored to the weather and time where you are. Like other AI assistants, users configure it to access their digital life—email, calendar, hard drive, credit cards, etc. Then, it can take on digital tasks as well as fielding classic chatbot questions.
