Figure plans to release Hark, a proactive personal AI assistant, this week — with the first 100,000 sign-ups getting a paid plan for free, per TestingCatalog's review of development material. CEO Brett Adcock confirmed: "I don't do anything without Hark anymore."
Key details:
- Positioned as "personal intelligence" rather than a chatbot, built around persistent memory, proactive work, and computer use.
- A personalized home screen hosts widgets connected to email, calendars, and other services, plus recurring tasks, inbox panels, weather, and daily briefs that decide whether to surface or stay quiet.
- Its Terms of Service confirm Hark can remember context across conversations, access connected email/calendar/documents/messaging, operate a browser, make authorized transactions, and create documents and web pages.
- Follows Handoff, its computer-use agent announced in August, which demonstrated ordering gifts and booking appointments end-to-end — aimed at everyday consumer tasks, not coding.
