HarkReview: A personal assistant that runs your errands and asks before it pays.
Freemium
Hark is a personal AI assistant that handles everyday errands for you: booking travel, ordering food, paying bills, scheduling appointments and doing research. It's for busy people who want to hand those chores to an assistant and only step in to approve. You connect your email, calendar and online accounts, and the home screen fills with action cards, such as a bill to pay, an appointment to book or an expense to approve, each of which you can approve with one tap. For jobs that need the web, a cloud agent called Handoff opens a browser, does the work and shows you each step as it goes. Payments still need your confirmation, and saved logins and payment details are end-to-end encrypted.

TMRW VERDICT
The best-funded personal agent yet, still slow on small jobs
by TMRW Team·Oct 7, 2026
Hark launched on October 6, and much of the attention comes from who is behind it. Founder Brett Adcock also runs the robotics company Figure AI and started Archer Aviation. In May, before it had shipped anything, Hark raised a $700 million Series A at a $6 billion valuation, with Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm, Intel and Salesforce among the investors. Design is led by Abidur Chowdhury, who led design of the iPhone Air at Apple, and Hark says its own hardware will follow in 2027, with cellular service from AT&T. It also lands in the same week as OpenAI's Dots, with Meta's Muse launched a few weeks earlier, so it is one of three big bets on the personal agent at once.
In early reviews the design is the clear strength. The action cards turn email and calendar clutter into decisions you approve with a tap, and Handoff shows its browsing as it works, so you can see what it does with your accounts. Speed is the open question. Gizmodo's test DoorDash order took several minutes, longer than ordering by hand, while Fast Company's tester booked an oil change in under five minutes with little effort. Hark's claim that Handoff beats OpenAI and Anthropic at browsing the web comes from its own benchmark, run against older models.
The real price is access. Hark only becomes useful once it can read your email and use your accounts, and you are trusting a company that came out of stealth in March. The free tier makes it easy to try. Start with low-stakes errands and connect your financial accounts only once it has earned that.
