Hark launches Hark Pro, a privacy-focused AI assistant that acts on your computer
It moves beyond chat by carrying out tasks on a user’s computer, while Hark says the live web view is there to make its actions easier to trust.
Hark has broadly launched Hark Pro, a privacy-focused AI assistant that is designed to take actions on a user’s computer rather than just chat. The product is free for casual use, with a paid tier for heavier users, and it connects to services such as email, calendars, files and credit cards so it can handle tasks end to end. Hark says the assistant is trained specifically for computer use, and it shows users a small window of the web navigation it performs to build trust. The company also says it plans an AI-native device to go with the software in 2027, though it has not said what form that hardware will take.
Why it matters
For people who use connected services to manage daily work, Hark Pro points to a more hands-on kind of assistant that can act across accounts instead of waiting for prompts alone. The trust UI matters because the assistant is doing work on the computer itself, so visibility into its web navigation becomes part of how users judge whether to let it continue. Hark’s 2027 hardware plan suggests the software launch is also the start of a longer product line.
