   Ex-Apple designer-led Hark launches proactive Hark Pro app ahead of 2027 hardware

   Hark, the AI startup led by Figure AI founder Brett Adcock, launched Hark Pro on October 6, a proactively positioned app available free on web, iOS and Android, with paid tiers at $20 a month for double usage and $100 for ten times the usage that can buy groceries, hail rides or build spreadsheets for users. The main screen is still built around a text box, while "proactive cards" on the left use connected email and third-party services to remind users that a colleague is waiting for approval, that receipts need submitting or that a flight needs checking in; tasks run on a cloud computer called Handoff, which Hark demonstrated ordering food on DoorDash with only payment confirmation left to the user. Hark design lead Abidur Chowdhury, a former Apple industrial designer, compares today's chatbots to early command-line interfaces and wants Hark to do for AI what the Macintosh did for PCs; the company's first hardware is slated for 2027 with no details disclosed, and Hark says it will not sell user data or share it with advertisers.
