Hark Pro Review: Figure AI Founder Builds Private AI Assistant

  • Figure AI founder Brett Adcock launched Hark Pro on Oct. 6, 2026, as Hark’s first public product.
  • The assistant uses a cloud browser to complete tasks and can retain user preferences and suggest follow-up actions, according to Hark.
  • All features are available on the free plan; subscriptions costing $20 and $100 a month raise usage limits by twofold and tenfold.
  • Hark Pro cannot yet make calls or send SMS, and its security system and some benchmark results have not been independently verified.

Figure AI founder Brett Adcock announced the launch of Hark Pro on Oct. 6, 2026, making the AI assistant available on the web, iOS and Android. The release is Hark’s first public product and expands the market for personal AI agents that can act on users’ behalf rather than only answer questions.

Hark, an AI laboratory Adcock founded in late 2025, calls the product “an operating system for your life.” The company says Hark Pro remembers information about users, completes tasks in its own cloud browser and proactively proposes follow-up actions, such as finding parking after buying a movie ticket.

The launch follows Meta’s September 2026 introduction of Muse and OpenAI’s release of Dots agents powered by GPT-6 Astra. Hark entered that market after raising more than $700 million in May at a $6 billion post-money valuation in a Series A round led by Parkway Venture Capital.

Browser-based task execution

Hark Pro combines three components: a dedicated cloud computer, persistent memory and proactive prompts. For each request, Hark creates a virtual machine with a browser, file system and terminal. Its Handoff agent can visit websites, fill out forms and place orders, while connections to Google and Outlook services use APIs and other external data can be accessed through the MCP protocol.

The memory system retains details supplied by users or learned while completing tasks, including food preferences, seating choices and document formats. Users can tell Hark to forget specific information. The proactive system analyzes context and recommends actions, but Hark says it requests permission before carrying out operations that require approval.

Hark introduced Handoff on Aug. 5. The model produces mouse and keyboard actions, including screen coordinates for clicking, typing and scrolling, and can operate as many as six browsers simultaneously. Hark said it focused on browser control after analyzing about 3 million minutes of screen recordings and finding that users spent 74.9% of their time in browsers, while fewer than one website in 1,000 offered a public API.

According to Hark, Handoff ranks first on the Online-Mind2Web benchmark and, averaged across three tests, scores eight points above GPT-5.4 and two points above Claude Opus 4.8. Those comparisons require qualification: Hark ran WebTailBench and internal tests through its own wrapper, used a combination of official leaderboard, OpenAI and Browserbase data for Online-Mind2Web, and applied its own LLM judge to training-stage accuracy charts. Independent comparisons have not yet been published.

Interface, data and pricing

Hark Pro has three primary sections. Chat handles general requests; Projects stores files and conversation history for larger tasks such as job searches or travel planning; and Home displays personalized information. Home also supports Panels, mini-apps generated from a user’s description, and Action Buttons for recurring one-tap tasks.

Passwords and payment information are stored in an encrypted vault called Secured by Hark. The company says employees cannot view the vault’s contents and that passwords and card numbers are tokenized. Hark also says it does not sell user data or share it with advertisers and allows users to delete their information. However, Secured by Hark has not undergone a disclosed independent audit.

All features are offered on the free plan. Paid plans listed on Hark’s pricing page cost $20 and $100 per month and increase usage limits by twofold and tenfold, respectively. Hark does not disclose those limits as task or token counts, and none of the plans includes advertising.

Limits and roadmap

Hark Pro cannot currently make telephone calls or send SMS messages. The company has not published an official list of supported countries or services, and most of its examples involve U.S. platforms such as DoorDash, Target, Walmart, Resy and Venmo. Hark also has not disclosed Handoff’s base model or the models powering its chat functions.

Hark plans to release an AI device in 2027, although it has not disclosed the form factor. Under a partnership announced with AT&T on Aug. 20, future Hark devices are expected to have their own cellular connectivity. A separate NVIDIA agreement covers computing capacity on the Vera Rubin platform and access to Megatron, Dynamo and Nemotron resources as Hark works toward training its own models.
